Abstract: A stylus for a handheld computing device has a clip with detents and spaced apart ribs for securing the stylus in a stylus slot of the handheld device. The clip has grooves on the outward-facing surface, making the clip easier to grasp in order to remove the stylus from the stylus port. The stylus can include a replaceable, retractable ball point pen tip extending from the end of the stylus opposite the stylus tip.
