Abstract: A stylus device for capacitive-based touch screens may include a hook or other attachment device that allows the stylus to attach to a user's glove, or another piece of a garment to reduce the likelihood of the stylus being lost. Such a stylus may be easily accessed by the user to provide input on a capacitive-based touch screen without removing the glove or other garment, such that work disruptions by the capacitive-based touch screen are reduced or minimized. For example, the stylus may have a hook sized to attach to a glove finger, in which the stylus can be quickly accessed with a twist of the wrist and then allowed to hang from the glove when the stylus is not in use, such as when a worker is operating equipment.
