Claim:
A stylus for a portable electronic device, comprising: a main body having a through hole running through two ends thereof, a planar top surface, and a planar side surface adjacent to the top surface, the side surface including a stopper, a connecting hole, and an embossment, the connecting hole defined between the stopper and the embossment; a nib rotatably connected to the main body, the nib including a nib base, a resisting rib, and a connecting post, the resisting rib protruding from one end of the nib base, and the connecting post extending from an inner side surface of the nib base and adjacent to the stopper, the connecting post engaged into the connecting hole; and a lens member rotatably connected to the planar top surface; wherein the nib is rotated about 180 degrees around the connecting post until the resisting rib resists against the stopper and cannot rotate further, the embossment invariably elastically resists the nib base for holding the nib base in any position.
