X41T tablet pen - retractable tether ideas?
Having a tether on the tablet pen is handy to keep it from disappearing.
However this tether can be annoying when the pen is lodged tucked way. It can flop around and easily snag.
Does anyone have ideas for a retractable tether that fulfills the need and keeps it tidy?

Re: X41T tablet pen - retractable tether ideas?
Thank you! That's exactly what I was looking for. The main issue is balancing "retractability", the tension it has to pull the pen in place with still being loose enough to ensure the pen is still easy to hold.
Main issue is if I'm walking all over the place with tablet in hand all the time, having to stop and keep putting the pen back in its holster is kind of tedious. having the ability to just "let go" of the pen when I'm not using it and grab it when I need it is a huge plus. If I'm drawing at my desk it's not an issue. When I'm using the tablet while doing 20 other things at once while walking around, my butter fingers are likely to drop the pen quite often!
