I've used it on My Kindle and IPod Touch and have had no visible signs of scratching.

Absolutely not. The tip is a mesh and thus it will last longer than a rubber tip. However, it is made to be completely and totally scratch proof. It is tough but yet soft on the screen at the same time. You cannot go wrong here.

All I can say for sure is that, after using this type of stylus on my iPad 2 for several months, it has caused no damage whatsoever. It is super smooth and never even hints at sticking to or grabbing the screen. And I don't have a screen protector on my iPad. My first couple of styli had rubber tips, and they quickly started sticking and grabbing. Totally useless in my opinion.

I can't speak to your particular item but I have a iphone 5s and a IPad 3 and have not seen any scratches. This has been a great item for me. I hope this helps.

Hi Tore,Unfortunately, I have gorilla glass on my nexus 7 but I've had no problems with it.

This is the smoothest tip I've ever seen. All I can say is from my own experience is that it GLIDES! I can't imagine how smooth it would be on just glass versus all of my extra protection. It's some kind of microfiber which always seems very soft to me. Since it doesn't seem to wear down like rubber I don't think you'd be in jeopardy of scratching your glass with the metal. It is kept clean by being able to click in. If you are really worried perhaps blowing on it to keep it clean before you use it. I don't really know what kind of glass you have but it is hard to fathom that this soft tip could scratch anything. It is really impressive. Hope that helped you.

I only use finger and never use a stylus.It is hard for me to tell how well it may protect the screen if use stylus often. I guess my answer is not very helpful for you. Sorry.

It does not scratch the screen unless you are pressing down super hard which you don't need too. There's a plastic disk at the end that prevents scratching. This is the best pen for the iPad I have come across

The pen tip is metal and not good on touch screens. I bought this one because it has a fiber tipped stylus. It is far superior to the rubber version. It is more precise, requires a much lighter touch, and lasts a lot longer.

The plastic tip isn't so much for protection as it is for surface area. This is required for a capacitive screen. That's why most styli for capacitive screens like on the iPad are so large, most of them are at least 3 mm in diameter.

I have used rubber tipped stylus in the past and this style is far better. It glides across the screen without grabbing. I can't speak about the tempered glass. I have a life case on my ipad and the stylus works great.

I haven't tested it, but this is a capacitive touch screen, so you should be able to use a capacitive stylus on it, I'm not sure how precise it would be though.

No,I used the stylus on my T300 without the protector. The stylus has a soft tip that doesn't damage the screen. In fact it helps remove fingerprints.

It's to write with. Like on paper. As for the stylus tip I don't cover it. There's no need to. But you might want to try a band aid on it. Lol. Hope this helps you out.

Hi, I have been using this stylus for over a year and have no signs of any scratches at all. The stylus tip has a coating on it so it moves smoothly over the glass. I have had both this and the adonit - but preferred this as the tip had more give and I felt the surface recognition was more consistent. Agree that it is somewhat fragile so I would recommend you purchase a spare tip so you can replace it if it gets bent.

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'm using a glass screen protector. Been using it since end of December, no scratches. The tip is metal with a plastic cover.

No problem at all. I do not use a screen protector, either. Movement of the stylus is very smooth. There are no scratches on my screen, and the feel is so smooth, I cannot imagine that there ever will be any.

Wow, I havn't heard of scratches from normal use. I do get small plastic rub marks from the stylus's nib. But I wipe it down with that microfiber cloth it comes with and they all disappear. I have been using it for about 9 months and still havnt worn the nib down. Is it possible there is something stuck to your pen or some solid dirt on your screen that is getting rubbed around?

It's hard to say without knowing what kind of screen protector you are using. Some work fine and others don't work at all with this stylus but that's true with most styluses. The Illumishield protector seems to work very well with this stylus and you can purchase it here on amazon....fortunately it's a very inexpensive protector. The other thing that I found with this stylus is that it works better with screen protectors if they are clean. Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the protector and then dry with a clean microfiber cloth. The water will lift any grease from the protector whereas just using a dry cloth alone will only smear the oils into a thin coating across the screen protector. The thin coating of oils from your fingers make the stylus not work as well as it potentially could. Incidentally, I've used the Illumishield protector on a number of tablets and had great success using the hand stylus in conjunction with the screen protector. Hope that helps

Yes it can scratch the screen I take the keyboard off so it dosn't. Also I changed the cover because of this
