Apologies for yet another CGA question.

The top of my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 stylus came off yesterday.  This is now almost completely useless.  While it still works, it can't be reinserted into the Note 8 because once it goes back in, it can't be removed.

I put the question to Samsung, and they have said that the warranty for accessories is 6 months (even though the phone itself is 24 months - phone is currently 23 months old), so it's not covered and I have to buy a new one ($50).

As we all know all too well by now, there is often a gap between what a manufacturer considers under "warranty" and what is covered by CGA.  I wanted to check with the GZ community whether a faulty stylus substantially affects the phone such that it should be considered as covered by the CGA as it would if say, the screen developed a fault, or some other aspect of the phone was rendered less than useful.

I would argue that the stylus is a key feature of the phone (some would say almost unique).  It's not a third party feature, it's quite literally integrated into the phone.  While the phone is still quite clearly useable without the stylus, it's functionality is downgraded.

Worth the fight?
