Proporta 3 in 1 stylus

[brece]

I recently won the competition for the proporta 3 in 1 stylus for my Axim. Not that I am complaining at all, but does anyone else who has this stylus worry that the thing is going to get stuck? I am worried that I will be pulling out my stylus and the pencap part will come off, that's the part at the bottom opposite from the stylus tip. Then the rest of the stylus will be stuck and I wont be able to get it out.

Speaking of that contest, has anyone gotten their discount coupon yet?

Heck, I won the contest, and I haven't even gotten the stylus yet! :cry:

I am also interested in when the coupon that was promised to entrants will be available. I am planning on buying the stylus, but I would like to use the coupon. There was a post from Paul that said he needed a couple of days to get them out. but hasn't that been a couple of weeks ago???

So EVERYBODY'S a winner! (Give him a few days, though, because he's got over 140 entrants to write to! And remember, only those people who entered before the deadline get the discount.)

Thanks, Carl and Proporta for this great giveaway!

This was on August 1st, so it was not as long ago as I thought. ops: Frankly, can't get upset over a delay in a free item. But, I think as ronaldb1 said, there are some who want to purchase the stylus based on the positive press here and held off waiting for the coupon.

I too have been anxiously awaiting the coupon, as I miss my iPAQ's pen stylus and have been craving one for my Axim. I think I'll just e-mail Properta, link to the page where they promised the coupon, and ask them about it directly.

ops: Got my stylus in the mail today. It's very nice, and they even sent a packet of mango tea with it. I don't think the top would pop off and leave the stylus stuck in the silo - the top/cap is on pretty tight.

well i won also.. I got mine like within less then a week of sending them my address.



I just ran a little test.. i just took off the cap and shoved the stylus into the opening.. it didnt stick.. u can just shake it out if it ever happens.. what holds it in is the cap part so onec u take hat off it basically slides off.


The only thing I really like about the stylus is the tip thats on it.. I find it give a better (softer) feel when writing on the screen

Good thing no one else got their coupon because I just deleted all my hotmail from the past 10 days forgetting about the contest. It's 99.9% spam anyway so I barely skimmed before deleting. Hope he sends them soon though!

Sent the mail to Proporta right after I posted this, still haven't heard back. Pretty disappointed in the customer service, but I guess I'll just bite the bullet and order (they aren't very expensive anyway).
