Summary: A palm must have
Review: A must have for the palm. These styli are good and heavy in your hand allowing for better control than the cheap all plastic ones that palm packs with the palm iiixe, etc. Great to have a couple on hand in case you lose one, too. These have the unscrewing tip to restart your palm if it freezes, too. A great product!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quality Styli
Review: After using the plastic m100 stylus, I upgraded to the Palm IIIc (nice), and ordered this along with it. Amazon has a great price on these fine quality styi.


-They have a firm, smooth, rubber head. (The plastic heads can get a nich in them then scratch the screen unknowningly, these don't)
-They are HEAVY so you can control input much easier.
-The reset pin is a useful extra. (Never search for something to hit that thing again!)
-A rubber tip absorbs impact of tapping your screen. (Increases screen life)
-Compared to the price of a new palm screen (especially color) these are ... CHEAP.

Its simple, if you want a quality stylus that will take care of that delicate silk-screen, I recommend buying these. You won't be disappointed at all. I promise.

Summary: At first, strange and heavy. Love at second sight.
Review: I have a Palm IIIxe, and it does come with a stylus. REPLACE IT. You SHOULD BUY THIS 3-PACK, trust me, you will like it. The soft rubbery tip is much better on the touch-sensitive screen of the Palm, and it is a MUST-HAVE in order to keep your screen scratch-free. The black, plastic stylus that comes with the Palm will scratch your screen.

Both the head and the tail can be unscrewed; I don't know the advantage of the tip unscrewing, but the tail has a soft pin inside that can be used for a "soft reset" when your Palm freezes up.

ONE NOTE: I found that this stylus is heavier, and feels better when you are writing. BUT, It CAN SLIP out of the holder on the back of your Palm if you do not properly secure it. (It happened in mine, I'm not sure if this is a universal problem) Anyway, if your new stylus slips out frequently, what you can do is the following:

- After inserting the new stylus in the holder, press down the exposed tail into the back of the Palm (not down toward the battery cover, but toward the screen). That somehow clicks the tail into a groove, and keeps this heavier stylus from sliding out!...

Summary: Better than the original....
Review: My new IIIXE came with a flimsy plastic stylus which was not particularly easy to grip or manipulate. These replacement styli are plastic and brushed metal, prividing a much better grip and improved heft.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simply the right tool for the Palm, I think
Review: My only concern that I haven't resolved is that they seem to fall out of Palm IIIxe models too easily, but I haven't figured out whether it's the IIIxe or the styli that have a compatability problem. May want to check it if you've got a Palm IIIxe.

Summary: Mandatory for Palm III's
Review: The black molded plastic stylus that came with my Palm IIIxe was lightweight, functional ... and scratched my screen rather quickly, thanks to some excess flashing near the tip. These metal styli don't exhibit that problem. The extra weight also "feels better" in a way I can't describe otherwise. (It's not THAT much heavier, but it does feel more comfortable in your hand.) The best feature, though, is that unscrewing the top gets you to a built-in reset tool. Unfortunately, especially with third-party software, you WILL need to reset your Palm on occasion, and having a handy reset tool saves on batteries.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Big Daddy
Review: The styli that come packaged with ANY Palm handheld are the [not good] ones, no matter what. You really should save yourself from scratching your screen by buying these soft rubber tipped styli with the reset pin. In fact, with the Color IIIc screen, you can break your screen with that plastic tipped original one. Trust me you want this.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: They were in perfect condition. Nicely price too

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What can I say?
Review: They're functional, and a lot more durable than the plastic stylus that comes with the Palm. I'd say it's worth the extra bucks.
