Replacement Stylus

I recently lost my stylus, at a park I think. I put the pen in my pocket instead of putting it back in my phone. That was a dumb mistake
Does anyone have a suggestion on where to buy a replacement stylus from?
Seems the price can range from 5 for $8($1.60 per Stylus) to 3 for $20($6.70 per Stylus). Is there any advantage to buying the more expensive ones or are the cheap ones just as good?
I couldn't find a thread that addressed this issue, if I missed it a re-direct would be appreciated

I've bought my replacements for my tilt at eforcity

they do a lot of business on ebay and carry a whole range of other stuff too. They also give you a $5 coupon for your next purchase for giving a review on reseller ratings
but there are many other sellers out there, i've seen no difference in the quality of the stylus, though I did have problems with a Nintendo DS stylus I bought from a Chinese vendor once. but then again 90% of this kind of stuff comes from china.

I am also in need of a replacement stylus, i lost my original one, the replacement i purchased seems to have a rougher tip than the original, i'm afraid it will scratch the screen.

I've seen them before in a Best Buy store, look around the phone accessories, or, if all else fails, ask someone.

Thanks for the replies.
I ordered some off ebay. 3 for $7. Seem decent enough. Weight a little more than the originals, which I think is a good thing.
All I have to do is hope the pens don't explode now

Looks Like a Good Buy, the only thing you might have to worry about is 1) the ink leaks out into the phone( i don't think the kaiser battery would generate enough heat), 2) losing the cap for the pen since it is the snap of type, can remember where i got mine from , it actually screws off first time i ever tried to use the pen side(lol). just mentioned eforcity since i bought all my cases and stuff from them, guess i didn't buy my stylus from them since they have the same type with the snap off. they sell some strange stuff at notebook.egde, i might pick up the 15 pc screwdriver set for 4.99, gotta replace the buttons on my tilt.

Me too. lost 2 stylus and now after using new finger friendly ROM since few months I dont feel need of stylus.

Unlosable stylus
Instead of getting a "stick" stylus, why not get a object that acts like a stylus? sounds like a funny riddle, but when you own one, the stick styluses do seem funny.

Just got mine from Amazon .... vs. Asus

Got my Amazon delivery about an hour ago by Fedex. It was in a beatup paper bubble envelope with no packing list of any kind. Then I drove over to Best Buy (Union NJ) to get a cover. All they had was the overpriced Belkin cover which will be a ~30 day "rental" till I find something I like.
Edit: Belkin case has no "closure" either magnetic or velcro.
BTW, All BB here had was 16GB in both white and gray.
This has a far better "build" feeling than the my ASUS and it is SLIGHTLY thinner & lighter but once it goes in the case what difference does "thinner/lighter" really matter?
The lack of uSD still bugs me. I still may end up back with the Asus.

And it came totally discharged. Argggh! Weighs 1lb 4.oz. Will it get heavier as it fills up with electrons?

No samsung packaging? I'd kick up a fuss and demand that you get that too, always better to have the original box etc if you ever plan to sell it on at some point.

NO NO NO NO! It was a sealed Samsung box but in a paper bubble envelope.

[Q] A case that doesn`t fall out one end???

I'm using the standard Acer case but I like to use it in my hand, upsidedown, but due to the one end of the case being open the A500 slides out.
What I'm hoping you people can help me with is, I`m after a case that allows for it to be folded flat when open (for use being held - I don't use it on a table) and doesn't slip out (so held secure all around); and preferably doesn't cover the bezel around the screen.
I know I'm asking a lot here, and I've looked at loads of cases, but the pictures don't show the detail needed to see if this fits the bill.
Thanks in advance.

Im not exactly sure what u mean by holding it upside down and stuff but i think the case i use would work. The tablet doesnt slide out at all (unless you force it) and the bezel isnt covered.
Here it is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005AZ7B4S/ref=oh_o03_s01_i00_details

I`d had a look at that, and read good things about it, but didn`t know the specifics; thanks for the headsup.

@coercri.....Some time ago I bought the "Vipertek" case which appears identical to the one jon described only different name. I published my comments and pictures on another thread in this forum. I think the same design case has popped up on Amazon over last months all about the same price with different names. It's still working well for me and holds the tab really well no matter which orientation you use. I have copied my original post including photos and attach it for your information.
The link posted by azoller1 in reply to my original post is the correct link to Amaz. Ordered it on 11/12/11 and it arrived by USPS on 11/16/11. It looks, it feels and it smells like leather on the outside whilst the inner lining is micro-fill. It has 6 "clips", (looking at it in landscape view) 2 are at the top L & R corners, 2 are at the bottom L & R corners and the final 2 are on the L & R sides about one third of the way down from the top. When it is closed up the A500 engages in all 6 clips. When it is fully closed every "input" (power,hdmi,usb full, usb "B", on/off button, volume up/down, rotation lock and even the sd card cover) are all accessible. To operate the A500 you have to "unhook" the bottom 2 clips and slide the bottom edge of the A500 into one of the "ridges" where it rests at the required angle. Although I am not an acomplished photographer I hope the attached photos will show that.
Having used it for a couple of days I am growing to like it especially at the price I paid.......THERE LIES THE RUB!......... When I bought it on 11/12/11 it was quoted on Amaz's site as $9.93 plus $4.99 shipping and even without seeing it I thought I couldn't go wrong at that price. On Tuesday 11/15/11 I went to Amaz's to check on delivery date and ........SHOCK HORROR........ found that the price was now shown as $19.98 plus shipping. Long story short I checked my bank account and found that the original price quoted me of $9.93 plus shipping was what had been charged to my debit card. There was no notice on the web site when I bought it that it was a special offer or some such so I can only conclude that for a short time a mistake had been made by the selling company.
At the price I paid I would heartily recommend this case BUT I am not certain I would at twice the price. But if you like the look of it, look around and see if you can find a reduced price.

Many thanks for the information.

Also many thanks from me as well, had the Acer brand case and got soooo annoyed by it slipping out, and not this one looks promising.

Faulty screen HTC-HD2 on ebay, working

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED
Here's the ebay description:
Title: HTC HD2 - FAULTY-SCREEN BUT WORKS
End date: 07 Apr 2012 19:59:17 BST
DAMNNNN ITTTT!!!
I dropped my HD2 and the screen just randomly stopped working, all sounds work as lock phone makes sounds, touch screen is still fine as I can click items I know on main screen and it vibrates, vibration etc all fine. Can answer calls with physcial button if I get it, can restart phone fine, but the damn screen is not displaying anything and it also kinda lifted of, I tried but can't push all of it in. The bottom white-lights comes on and displays black, but no other colours work. I thought of fixing it my self, I bought the tools but I can't get the back case open as everytime I stick the blue thing in and push the behind-battery the screen keeps coming out instead of entire case, so without me destroying it anymore, I will just sell it and use that money as extra for another phone.
Checked at repair, cost like £50+; to repair glass, and then some cable if it is damaged and that is just fast check not in depth. Forget that!!!. I may as well use that 50 towards another phone, plus whatever I can make from selling this damaged phone.
Features:
- Warranty expired :'(
- Locked to O2
- Comes with no SDCARD, I only have one 8GB SDCARD lol and I don't want to give it away
- Comes with the standard accessories headphones unused, UK wall charger, newly bought USB charger, pouch, manuals, box, and extra tools (that blue thing to open up case and hd2 screw drivers)
- Android ROM - ice cream sandwich v1.5 ROM by tytung.
- Front is almost perfect, even though I have used it for this long, not a single scratch, plus I have an screen protector on, but there is like a crack inside the screen??? on bottom-left when I dropped it
- Back metal case has some small scratch on, but I looked on ebay and the price is very cheap like a few £££ for a new back metal case. Apart from that, rest of back e.g. camera is perfect
Whoever is winner after payment sent, I will reset the entire thing cuz I don't want you looking through my things. I will have to guess how to reflash lol from bootloader by guessing where options are xD
That's it I think. No giving me negative ratings or asking for refund as phone already has problems plus I starting at not too expensive 70 that's about 3x less than new one so I think anything above 70 is fine for me
Oh yeah, payment through paypal, paypal address verified and UK buyer only. Contact me otherwise.
Postage is: Royal Mail - Special Delivery Next Day which is £5.90 according to there site.
P.s. because I feel sad for people who have not got much food/shelter/water, I selected to give 10% of my winning bid to "Khalsa Aid" charity, so if you win this you help starving children as well

Skyslide case - Made by Mercury

Hi all, this is my first post so please show some leniency please
I have recently been given a Samsung S9+-256GB from my company in Korea and I went on a case hunt at the myeongdong area.
Found the classic transparent gel ones but they usually stick in the entrance of the pocket and usually will not slide all the way in unless you try.
So started looking for hard cases one of which (except the classic thin ones) had a secret "pocket" for cards and bus tickets.
Since in Korea moving with buses and trains is something I must do as I have not purchased a car yet and TMoney card (bus card) is swiped several times within a day it seemed only fair to go for that one.
Nice colors and easy to use but to be honest it looks a bit bulky after I requested the same guy to install a tempered glass as well.
In any case I am happy for now and will be definitely buying another one shortly, maybe with a cover.
