Rating: Summary: Great tools, awesome colors Review: I didn't even have my Handspring Visor for a week before I lost my stylus. I didn't want to pay the shipping fee from Handspring's Website .... Then I found out that Amazon sold Handspring stuff. I would much rather pay the Amazon shipping fee ... than I would the Handspring fee.I also like the colors. I was expecting to get a yellow stylus in the pack, but in the place of the yellow one, there was an orange one, which is great because my Visor is Orange! Also, the reset button that unscrews from the tip and the mini philips screwdriver that unscrews from the top of the stylus are wonderful (no more hunting for a paper clip!). I highly recommend this product if you need extra styli and are scared off by Handspring's high shipping cost.
Rating: Summary: Great Product and you may need all the extra packaged. Review: I didn't think I would need these 5, no less than the 5 more being bought today, until I also purchased their leather case. The case's method of storing the stylus is less than secure. Within a short time the case has lost its grip on the stylus and it is, if your lucky, in your briefcase, pocket, etc... If not, you may be like me, retunrning and buying another package. This time I'm gluing a small piece of sponge in the case that will stop the stylus half way out.
Rating: Summary: must-have for Handspring users Review: I ended up ordering this pack after I lost my stylus. I was in panic mode and using the edge of my fingernail until the pkg. arrived. I would have preferred to have a pack already available as a back-up. I ended up finding the lost stylus, but about 2 months after I bought the replacement pack. They are the same quality as the stylus that ships w/ the Handspring... nicely weighted w/ both a reset pin (in the tip) and a metal screwdriver (hidden in the top part). My only criticism of these stylii by Handspring is the material they use for the points... and I mean the sold plastic points, not just the trendy see-through plastic... they're all the same. Palm Pilot's stylii (in my experience) never scratch the screen. The Handspring stylii have a tendency to pick up the most minute bit of debris (dandruf, dust particle, whatever) and allows you to carve a scratch in the surface of the screen that will make you scream in agony. I don't mean a faint "normal use" scratch... I mean the kind you find on your car when someone keys it. I now have 3 such horrendous scratches on my screen. In 2 years of using a Palm Pilot, the screen still looks almost new. Maybe it's the material used for the Handspring screen, not the stylus... but there is a definite difference in the feel of the point of the Handspring stylii vs. the Palm version. I still prefer my Handspring to the Palm, especially due to the springboard slot, but this is a definite manufacturer bug, not a feature. Nevertheless, these are nice stylii and if you're like me and occasionally get home to find that you've left your stylus on your desk at work, it's nice to know you've got a back-up at home.
Rating: Summary: colorful and handy Review: I lose everything.. and now i have more to lose before i gotta buy new ones. If you just couldn't decide what color handspring to get then this is a nice comprimise. Pick a handspring and then get this pack of pens and now you have all the colors in one! Can change the stylus with your mood and always have an extra handy!
Rating: Summary: tools included Review: I tend to lose my stylus, so having replacements is important to me. One of the cool things about these, and the original that comes with my Visor is that the top unscrews to become a screwdriver, and the point unscrews to become a tip the right size for the reset button. Very cool.
Rating: Summary: This is a very important upgrade! Review: If you own a visor, you probally have at least one scratch from using the ... stylus that the visor comes with. I know I do! This stylus is very heavy, compared to the plastic one. That is a VERY good thing. Plus, it also has the soft reset switch, and a screw driver. This is a very important upgrade! Of course, you could also get a visor pen stylus. Those are neat too. Maybe it's just amazon, but when I bought my visor directly from handspring, it had the nasty plastic one. When I bought from amazon, it had one of these nice ones. Lucky me!
Rating: Summary: stylish Review: Just like the one your handspring came with but,In five different colors.Nice
Rating: Summary: Great Idea Review: My husband and I shared a pack. We keep one in the Visor's slot, and an extra in the case's slot. That way, if one slips out, we still have a spare. Another stays at our computer desk. We're never without a stylus. You'll want this if you by the basic Visor. It comes with a very cheap feeling stylus.
Rating: Summary: Great! I can't beleive I've been using that plastic stick! Review: This is a great product! I had originally been using that plastic stick that usually comes with the basic Visor, even though I bought a Platnium. This was because I bought the display Platnium in a retail store (the only one in stock at the time, and I was desperate), but it didn't have a stylus. I didn't know about the difference between regular Visors and Deluxe/Platnium/Prism ones, so the employee just had me grab one off of the non working display basic Visor. I didn't like that one, of course, but I figured everyone had one like that. After a few Platnium accessory hunts, I discovered this 5-pack. I picked one up in a retail store on clearance, for a little cheaper. It's a great stylus: *Well-weighted for writing *Metal body is sturdy and heavy, so I won't drop it and lose it *The tip unscrews to reveal a reset pin. No more paperclips taped to the springboard cover! *The back end unscrew to reveal a screwdriver. If you're adventous and want to open your Visor(voiding the warrenty) you can with it, but it also works on glasses! *Well priced, and good for when you drop it in the elevator, train, subway.... Overall, It is a great color assortment for Deluxes, and the graphite one matches lots of visors, and the cover,some modules, etc. See if you can find it a bit cheaper at a retail store that has them on clearance, like how I got one.
Rating: Summary: First addition Review: This was the first thing bought after the Visor after noticing how my cat had developed an interest in the stylus. I can only second the accolades of the the reviewers and add this tip: replace your Visor's original stylus with the colored one you dislike most. Since you don't like the color you will never be able to lose the stylus! Extra insurance ;-)
