I recently got a PDA, and so far I've lost 2 styluses (stylusi?) This is due to the fact that the little groove that it fits into gets marginally worn, therefore it just slips out.
Why hasn't anyone come up with a safety-type clasp that you just flick to lock the damn thing in there?!
Stylus Tether

I can't find one designed to fit discreetly on a Palm, but something like this should really help solve your problem. Depending on your brand of PDA, some do come with tethered solutions already. [DrCurry, Sep 28 2005]

Because this equipment is only designed to work when it's new, but it shouldn't be - it should work for at least five years. The clasp would be so easy to make it hardly qualifies as an idea. [+] |

Oh, not a security system for pigs then? |
|

You could fashion a clasp of some kind quite easily using glue and one of a number of household objects. |
|
| |
Many devices with styluses (stylii ?) are attached to them by little cables, especially in retail settings where they might be easily lost or stolen. |

Ah - the technical term is "stylus tether." |
|
| |
If your stylus is not locking/clicking into place properly any more, try buying a new one. That worked for my wife - it turned out the stylus was worn, not the groove. |

I don't seem to have this problem with mine but a knob of blu-tac would probably do the trick. |

I've got a solution but it'll cost you a pound of flesh. |

//it turned out the stylus was worn, not the groove// Generally the case. I need a new stylus every year, but I have grooves dating back to the 60's that still play ok. |

get a paper notebook and a pen. If you lose your pen, get another pen. if you lose your notebook, maybe you should start taping or stapling things to yourself. |

I've found it easy enough just to tape the stylus to the back of the PDA, since I have to carry around the roll of tape anyway to keep my glasses together. |

It's "styluses" or "styli". |
