I've used the Stylograph since I reviewed the product, and I have had none of the problems you described. Some of the rubber has come off, but not enough to expose metal. You might want to contact them to arrange for a refund/replacement. Harvey:

I recently purchased the JAVOedge stylus for my Zire 71 based on this review. I also bought the black one. When I first used it, I liked the weight and the tip. It also matches the unique contour of the Zire 71 almost as well as the original stylus. This is where the positive comments end. The first time I put it in the slot and removed it, some of the rubber coating came off, exposing the bare metal. OK, I can live with that. The next day I drop the stylus and the orange plastic tip snaps off. This makes precise control impossible although it can still be used in a pinch. The last straw was a few days later when I tried to remove it from the PDA and the threads on the section with the reset pin stripped leaving the barrel stuck in the slot. Now it's junk. If you can find the plastic original stylus 3-pack made by Palm, buy a couple packages. They work just fine. In the rare instance that you need to reset the unit, use a paper clip. If you are stuck without a stylus sometime, try using one of those cheap Bic plastic disposable automatic pencils. Just be sure the lead is not exposed or use one that is out of lead. They actually work really well. Save you money - skip the JAVOedge. I think the JAVOedge stylus is a poor product and a waste of money.
