Angry Birds without a stylus is just awful! I played it on my partner's HTC and it just was nowhere near as good having to use my drunken, oafish, sausage fingers to launch them.
And invariably, disgusting though it may be, the stylus ends up in my mouth. Perhaps it adds an air of sophistication? Or perhaps I just look like Razor Ramon.
It's spooky how the stylus ends up in your mouth though.

As long as the phone doesn't fall out of a poorly angled compartment and run its smooth shiney surface along the jagged edge of a car seat runner rail you should be fine. The stylus isn't going to hurt anything.

I depend on the stylus. I use a nail for simple tasks like turning on wi-fi if I'm one-handed for some reason. But that's an exception.
Slobbing fat fingers all over the screen is disgusting to the screen so I don't do it. Besides, I click a lot of links and then fingers aren't an option.

My stylus is invaluable.
It's handy for scraping excess wax from my ears, tormenting my cats and poking unruly children.
I've also discovered it comes in handy for using the touchscreen on my N900 (has anyone else discovered this yet?).
