As I stated, it doesn't worry me, but I think it's more aesthetically pleasing to store the stylus in the device vice the cover. Too, the white cover has a loop for the executive stylus, not the one included with the 800SG; maybe we'll see a cover designed with the small stylus in mind, maybe we won't--for me the cover must provide good protection and be easy to handle, and if it doesn't account for the small stylus I'll just rig my own tether; I do agree with mgmueller that the white cover isn't attractive.

But I meant to say that, from an engineering standpoint, if iRex had really been thinking about the small stylus they would have found a way to build the silo in. My pet theory is that iRex only ever intended to package the executive stylus, and the small stylus was thrown in as a cost-saving measure. *shrug*
