I am afraid the eraser touching the display will eventually lead to scratches. Can anyone confirm?

I cannot confirm that it WILL scratch, however I can confirm the blue tip does eventually leave small scuffs. I have put a Zagg screen protector on.

It doesn't, if your screen is clean. If there is dirt for it to drag around, that's another thing. For peace of mind, I'd get a screen protector, but it is not absolutely necessary.

I have used it for 3 or 4 months now and I see no scratches from any angle. However, I do have a screen protector installed, so if you are planning on writing directly on the screen, my evidence should be taken with a grain of salt :)

yes but i never use the eraser since is really small and once you use it you cant get a replacment

Paula, I have never before heard this issue raised, but I appreciate the information. If that spot is scratch-prone, we can let future customers know to be mindful of this and take extra precaution. Thanks so much. Sincerely, JR Hill Goedekers.com

John, I took mine off because it wasn't sitting on the surface perfectly and removing it made tactile response work a tiny bit better. Still, I'm thinking of purchasing a protective screen since the screen always looks smudged.

No. It doesn't scratch the screen. It has a clear plastic disc at the tip if the pen that allows it to glide smoothly across the screen without scratching it.

I noticed this too while playing with a display model. I am guessing that this behavior would not happen if it has a memory card in it.

You should be able to pull off the eraser and put it in there. It worked ok for me to do that.

Good question. I don't think so, it has four rubber bumpers on the corners that contact the screen before the keyboard does. Will the bumpers leave a mark? I would say yes, but in the long run, and if you leave your screen dirty. If you excerpt too much pressure on the keyboard, it will surely contact the screen and it will eventually scratch it. I'm talking here with my experience with laptops.

I've been using this for about 3 or 4 months and i had no problems with getting damage on screen. It probably will if you slam it without the screen protector-- anything will do, really. I've never got any scratches on my screen, not even on my screen protector.

I have not had any problems with it scratching my screen. I am very careful to make sure my screen and the tip of the pen are clean before I use it though.

Very much so. However, on my Lenovo carbon ultra book, I can wipe those away. When I first saw the smudges, I was afraid it might permanently damage the screen.

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

Most likely not, unless the screen has something on it that is harder than the glass. Sand in the form of quartz would likely be hard enough to scratch. Just keep screen & stylus clean & you're probably OK. Mfg says stylus won't scratch iPad glass. You might take a look at the Adonit Jot Pro as an alternative. I feel that it's a superior product.

It touches the screen and leaves a little mark you should use a screen protector it can scratch if you let dirt get in it

I have not noticed any damage from dropping the stylus, however, as I'm sure you're aware, that's probably not a good habbit to form. As far as cleaning, there are multiple products available that I'm sure would work great, but I personally use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. It's definitely worth doing your own research, and it's totally understandable if you want to stay away from a semi-DIY approach, but after cleaning my stylus hundreds of times I can say that I'm happy with the results. If the record itself is clean you should be able to notice an audible difference. Hope this helps.

I have had one of the early versions without the dampening tip for about 2 years now. I do not notice that it put scratches on my iPad screen, and I do not have a screen protector. I use it for taking notes on a daily basis.

My daughter has had hers for a while now and uses it daily with no problems. She has a case for it and still managed to fling it across some cement last weekend without breaking the screen. It's scratched but no pieces chipped off or missing.
