I recently purchased these as a replacement for my Treo 755. My original plastic stylus had broken and I was looking for something sturdier to replace it.These were exactly what I was looking for. A strong metal barrel to the stylus makes it feel much stronger. I would often find that the original stylus would flex or bend in my hand as I used it on the touchscreen. This is no longer an issue with this product.I would recommend this to people even if they have not yet lost their original Palm stylus.
