I knew I would kill my pen if I tried to use a drill, so I just stuffed the foam a little farther down and used the preexisting hole near the bottom of the pen. Still works!

Take a nail or anything that is steel, put it over a fire, and poke it through the pen, it will melt the plastic and do the same job as the drill could. Whats the use of common sense if it's no longer common?

As a disclaimer to everybody, this stylus works on every touch screen device, also, you have to wet the sponge for it to work

[jennie]

But did you really have to use a tweezer to remove the pen
