I received a Boxwave Stylus from Boxwave last week and strangely enough, it wasn't as loose or prone to falling out as the original OEM stylus. I thought maybe this was a fluke, the Boxwave Styra (stylus) for the PDA2k was just as loose as the original stylus, but my Styra for the JASJAR isn't loose at all.

The Boxwave stylus is easy to remove with your fingers, but doesn't slip out of your pocket like the original one. I thought maybe this was just a fluke, so I grabbed the other one I ordered out of envelope and tried it in my JASJAR. It was tighter and not as prone to falling out in my pocket too.

You can find them here:

I'm still a little worried that it's a fluke though. Did anyone else order one of these styli? How does yours fit? (And I ordered these babies cause they included a pen)

Well, it fits tighter, but I can't say it fits better.
The tightness comes from the black plastic part being thicker than the original, and the stylus seems to be secured by wedging it in into the slot.
I don't feel that assuring (but nevertheless useless) click of the original stylus.
Apart from disliking the plastic on plastic rubbing feeling, I am not sure if the fit will stay tight with time.
We'll see I suppose.
