Just had a crazy thought while reading this thread
Someone (read: not me. I AM a EE :) ) could make a stylus with a usb
connector sticking out along the side. Then, the stylus could plug into the
usb port and be held tight against the side of the phone.

It can act as dirty protection for the usb connector.
Or it could yank it right out of the case if you're not careful...

XD I have not think about it Grabriel , you are right
if it is a starndard mini usb metal conector.
But if instead of we use a some rubbish,flexible fake
conector(I have this kind of material protecting some
connectors of my camera and my phone) the yank
danger can be avoided.

Sounds like a good candidate for emachnie shop. But how tightly can something
like that be locked to the side of the phone? A usb connector by itself is
probally not suffecient no?

I just drew up my first part. The price quote was $1600! :-( (In
all fairness, it's a much larger piece than what you're talking and in
aluminum.)
Are their prices workable for smaller plastic designs?

It's called “fingernail”.
Something that might work would be a guitar finger pick. Here's a link

The plastic ones would be the way to go.
The only thing is its kind of wide like a fingernail, not a precise
stylus point. but a little work
If a stylus is necessary, I want one like the touchpen that comes
