I don't know how many of you have been looking for a better stylus (and Pen) but I have had my 6035 for about two months now and had searched in vain for a good stylus that fit my phone. In desperation I went down to Staples and baught the "Pentopia Chameleon V", It had all of the features I wanted, even if it didn't fit in my phone.

When I got it home and opened it I realized that if it were not for the pocket clip on the pen it might fit rather well. Being just crazy (and desperate) enough start hacking on a $20.00 pen, I first removed the pocket clip by twisting it to the side and then pulling down. I then took a sharp razor knife and cut that section away even with the pen body, leaving everything from the ridges up. Just below the ridges I rounded the section to the shape of the grove on the phone. A fine emery board removed any traces of my carving job.

The result is a fine quality Stylus/Pen that fits my SmartPhone like it was made for it (It kinda was). I am minus one pocket clip that is also used to adjust the stylus and replace the ink, but any similar tool will work as well.

I thought I would post the results here just in case some of you were contemplating a similar solution but didn't want to take the risk.

Good Luck, and good carving

Randy
