Topic: My Stylus keeps on falling out of my system

This happened to my DSi too. I'm wondering if you can send it in to Nintendo to get a new stylus or something. If not, anywhere I can buy an official stylus?

This happened to my DSi stylus too. Just buy one of those 3DS starter kit things. They come with 3 styluses, screen protectors, and 3DS game cart cases. Only 7 or 9 bucks if I remember correctly. They're official Nintendo products, btw.

On Amazon, it says it's developed by i-CON. Are you sure it's an official Nintendo product?

I see the one you're talking about. That's not the one I'm talking about. I'm looking right now and can't seem to find it. I bought mine at Gamestop. Maybe it's some sort of exclusive thing like the CPP?

EDIT: Never mind, I found it. http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Official-Clean-Protect-Kit-3DS... Huh, it's by Power-A. It's officially licensed by Nintendo though. Hope that's ok.

Actually, you might be able to fix it. On the black plastic part, check if the thin piece of plastic with a little bump on it is broken. If it's broken off, then you need to buy a new one. But if it's only cracked, then try wrapping a piece of tape around it. Don't wrap it around the entire stylus, just the thin plastic part (which means you need to feed the tape through the small slit in the black part). Also, if it doesn't look cracked, press on the thin plastic part to make sure. I did this with my broken stylus, and it never falls out anymore. I think it's also possible to superglue it if it's cracked, but I've never tried that myself. And if this doesn't work, then just buy a new stylus.

@NeonSh3llz The back part of the stylus is rubbed off, so I don't know if that'll work or not.

@Retro_on_theGo Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't really want all that extra stuff. Just a new stylus will suffice.

Solution? Stop playing your 3DS upside down.

Stop chewing it.

^{I say this because I chewed mine to the point of it falling out and... I lost it.}

Here you go it's a Stylus Pack with (just) 3 styluses.

You can buy TONS of official Nintendo styluses. Their website sells them (But they're expensive, $3.75 for 1!) but you can look for packs of them, and then look for the "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality". If it has one of those its an official stylus. I bought this set at Best Buy because I lost the stylus that came with my system so I know these are quality ones: http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/accessories/3ds-clean-an...
The only difference between them, is it doesn't say "Nintendo" on the little black part at the top of the stylus. And it also is a cheap alternative to a starter kit.

Just because Nintendo didn't develop them doesn't mean they aren't official. You know the little "Nintendo Seal of Quality" on the back of games? That means it's official.

Yeah mine falls out too... but I've found slotting it in correctly and not playing upside down helps a ton!

Official Nintendo Shop:

• DSi
• DSi XL
• DS Light
• Original DS

Hope that helps.

Yeah, it happened to mine too. Just buy a new stylus. Even if its not official, it should work just fine. Its just a little piece of plastic and metal after all.

Paddle Pop stick cut into the shape of a stylus is a nice cheap fix... I have never tried it but my thinking has never failed me sometimes.

there is an official Nintendo Screen Protector pack on the market here in Europe which also includes a screen cleaning cloth and a big blue stylus (DSi XL style and catalog number). BTW: I immediately replace the original stylus after i've unpacked a new handheld and keep it in the box so it will not get lost.

Bad idea. You could damage your screen.

The only difference between Power-A's styluses and Nintendo's is that the Power-A ones do not have the Nintendo logo on them. The packaging does have the official Nintendo seal, so it is licensed.

Jsut put some tape around the top of the stylus. It works great for me. And is cheeper than buying a new one.
