@kostia: You aren't the only one. I still have mine, but it's broken because the minor flexing from putting it on and taking it off (and putting it on my pinky as a sort of ring) weakened it. Always mean to get it fixed...

In about 1999 I had a wonderful silver "finger stylus" for my Palm III, from Concept Kitchen. I actually still have it, but it seems like I'm the only one. There's plastic ones called TrueTip still but that silver one hasn't been sold in ages. I never figured out why it didn't catch on.

@xanderbeedle: Doubtful, rubber doesn't conduct electricity and the iPhone screen is a capacitive trouch screen. Bare skin only.

@maven2k: hamsters get buttplugs?

Actually, those are based on steel door frame bumpers. I got a bag of them...from McMasterCarr. Um. I did!

Is it just me or do some of these look vaguely like they could be in a dirty book store (not that I have been in many of those, heh)?

If you have to carry something with a touch screen you can manage to carry a multifunction pen with a stylus.

-and you can also dodge a ball.

But will it work with the iPhone? I know that it uses a combination of sensors, not just touch, and anything that doesn't interact electromagnetically (or some such bollocks) with the layer under the screen won't do anything.

But what about those big boys that are 0.9-inches? Will there be a Magnum version?
