The metal isn't as heavy or smooth as the one that came with the Tungsten E, but it fits and does the job. Because the metal isn't as smooth, it's less likely than the original to slip accidentally out of its slot, although it comes out easily enough when pulled.

This is pretty much a direct replacement for the original stylus. The one difference is that the back cap does not unscrew to reveal the small pointed tool. I'm not really sure what this tool is for -- possibly to do a reset on the back of the Palm? I find the stylus pointer works fine for that purpose, so I've never used the pointed tool. What I did experience with the original is that the back cap would unscrew and then the stylus was more likely to fall out of its slot -- or I would just lose the back cap. So the lack of a cap that unscrews is actually a plus in my experience!

I believe an earlier poster mentioned that the finish on this item was less smooth than the original and stayed in its slot better. Mine seemed to have a finish identical to the original.

It's just what I needed! I keep losing them and can't find them at Palm. Seems all they do is sell phones now.

The item ordered came ahead of schedule, nicely packed, and was identical to the original that was replaced.

Item works fine, Not the exact replacement I was expecting, it doesn't fit properly in the stylus holder in the Palm

While I'm glad I could find a replacement stylus for my Tungsten E2 (lost the original), it has a flaw. It's too long for the slot n the PDA. Fortunately, my case has extra headroom.

Immediately after inserting this new stylus into my Palm Tungsten e2, I felt it was not the same as the original. It does not fall naturally into its slot, but needs a helping push into it home position.

But, the main problem is the threads on the black top immediately started stripping. Withing a week, it fell off. I solved the problem by super-gluing it back into place, since I don't need that pin-point tip to reset the Palm and I don't plan on using my Tungsten e2 much longer; I just upgraded to a smart phone.

I received the first stylus in two pieces, with the back end broken off. It was replace, with shipment the same as the first. The second stylus appeard to be fine, but the first day I used it, the back end came off the first time I pulled it out of my Palm. Good thing Elmer's School Glue (when dried thoroughly) worked! Haven't had a problem since. However, the second day I used the stylus, the tip fell off! (Which is why it was replaced in the first place). Again - Elmer's School Glue! Are these things just pieces of junk?

The product arrived in satisfactory condition, and very expeditiously. I was very satisfied with the delivery and quality of the product.

Works fine, no problem! I lost my original stylus for my Tungsten E2 and this is a perfect replacement, seems same as original.
