I'd like a Nintendo DS style stylus and holder because they're small, cheap, & I like how they fit into the casing of the DS. I would try to use the FreeRunner CAD data ( http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_GTA02_Hardware#Case ) to make my own case mod design if I could find something to convert Pro-E files. As it stands I refuse to buy Pro-E for a single hobby project.
