Comments on: Vaja Treo Case Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2003/02/14/vaja_treo_case_review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 01:52:11 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: cmosco http://the-gadgeteer.com/2003/02/14/vaja_treo_case_review/comment-page-1/#comment-16999 cmosco Tue, 25 Feb 2003 02:11:59 +0000 #comment-16999 I'm virtualy certain this stylus scratched my Palm Vx screen. I've used various different styluses before, including other 3-in-1 models, and one specific thing I noticed about this one was that the plastic of the tip was unusually hard. I thought that since it was smooth and round, perhaps it wouldn't matter. However, after just one month of using it, I started to notice that it was becoming increasingly difficult for the digitizer to recognize my writing. Then, one day when I was paying particular attention, I noticed that the number area (which I almost never use) was MUCH smoother than the letter area. The letter area was nearly perfect before, and the new scratches absolutely coincided with my use of this stylus. Now I can barely use this handheld because the digitizer reads my writing wrong more often than right. I would never "swear" that the stylus caused the scratches without some sort of scientific test, but I'm almost certain it did, and now I will have to either replace the unit, or pay Palm $100 to change the screen. I just thought I should share this with you all, and see if anyone has had a similar experience. Chris I’m virtualy certain this stylus scratched my Palm Vx screen.

At least it has a nicer tip. It has the same functionality as the Handspring Pen/Stylus. At least it has a nicer tip.
