About Replacement Styli

Take photos.

Photo??? of the Openpandora case? or the X stylus designed for the OP?

 

[-Tj-]

X stylus, of course.

Stuff like how it fits into the case, how it looks compared to the original, and such. Unless the prototype isn't something you'd like to show for one reason or another, in such a case I'll totally understand. Just eager to see this thing for Pandora.

Alright, for those who is still checking on this thread. Here is X stylus for Openpandora prototype (the white one)

We are still waiting for the steel shaft factory for the shaft, then we are good to go.

From the looks of it, I think selling this as replacement styli is GREAT

Very intrigued by this. But forgive me if I'm missing the point of it, is it that it can be longer than the original stylus? Thanks.

No, if you unfold it, it has more the shape of a normal ball pen which makes it easier to hold and use.

The design makes it longer and thicker, more suitable for grownup hands, while still fitting into the Pandora's slot

Longer and Wider at the finger grip area.

 

[mosschops]

giving up smoking is tough on stylii

 

[Emnasut]

Looks cool, I also want one!

Looking good!

I am very happy to see this thread is starting to pick up momentum again. The news is, the steel shaft has just arrived and it fits nicely to the plastic parts. The following pictures are taken with the finial sample that the Openpandora team is going to test. In this final sample, we have added all sort of details to make sure the transformation is easy for anybody.

Xstylus fits perfect in the case, it looks nice too.

Slide the pen out is easy

thumb guide is added to indicate where to put the thumb and push, to initiate the transformation. Once transformation is started, the rest is just simple carry forward

Transformation in progress, that's where the "X" comes from

That's my hand and you can even feel how comfortable it is by just looking at the picture

Awesome! Well, you've held my interest this long, so I still want one.

Question for you: I have an empty case that I'd been playing with here (stylus included) and, at least on mine, the stylus is rather firmly-held in the case when it's in. Does the X-stylus 'click' into place in the case? Just wondering since it's hard to see the grooves on the prototype if they're there.

Thx

good question. It does click, although not as obvious as the stock stylus (because of the complex structure reason), but it DOES held the Xstylus in place. So don't worry.

This really looks promising.

In this picture we can see, that the thick part pushes the sides really far apart. I wonder if the little (metal) bolt can stand this preasure. Looks like the force that pushes the sides apart is pretty strong.
Are there already long-life and stress-tests with the new Stylus? ^^

That's a custom made steel shaft that you are looking at. Actually, most of the pressure is on the plastic part.
