Would like to know if anyone has had problems with rubber tip breaking off or tearing ?

I haven't had a problem, but in using other brands I've learned not to drag the tip across the screen and to treat tips with some care as they are pretty delicate and if they're not, they are too hard. These have been working well for me so far.

I had one tip come off, but I fixed it by putting a little super glue around the edges and I put it back on. I haven't had any problems after that.

Still new for us and for friends; no report of rubber tip breaking, even with kids.

I haven't had that problem. I bought them for my daughter's book club, so I don't know about the ones that went home with the kids.

I have not notice any fraying and use mine with my smart phone and my tablet daily. I carry the click pen in my front pants pocket along with other items at work and other then the paint on the barrell getting scraps I've had no problems with the tip

Yes, it has happened twice. We called and they sent us a replacement blade unit. It seems once the rubber gasket comes off, the unit is useless because the problem just re-occurs which means you have a mess on your hands when you use it. So we have a couple of useless units now just gathering dust.

Just to let you know, Mine was not in good condition when i got mine, but that was just design issue. I can not tell you how many times I have dropped it and frankly I don't care what kind of damage it does or doesnt do to the case since I knew immediately upon coming out of the box that I would have to replace it soon. That being said, It has held up to drops better than I had expected. Every time I drop it, I still look down to check that everything is ok with my phone. I believe it has stood up to this because the rubber coating on the inside of the case stops most of the forces that would normally shatter the plastic case around it.

Hasn't happened to me or my family i bought for. The tips just wear eventually to where they need to be tossed and replaced with a new stylus.

I have had no issue of the kind so far. There is no rubber tip underneath what you call the micro fiber tip. Actually, the tip is highly polished steel mesh, which is quite strong and actually hollow "inside."

Bought mine a year ago and the only issue i had which is minor the rubber on the side of the knife has come a little loose or separated. Still no big deal.

I had lost some rubber tips from a bar stool I've had for years. I found some generic tips in various sizes at either Walmart or Lowes. This might be the easiest way to 'find' a quick replacement. It would help to know the diameter 'before' you bring some home. Hope that helps a little [I wouldn't know how to contact the company, all I see are 'vendors' who've only bought to sell, not repair.

It's all about how you handle it. Consider it a collectible, made from plastic and metal cast. If dropped on its head I could see it possibly breaking. I personally haven't had any issues. It's dropped once or twice and it works just the same as ever. I did have to return the first one I'd ordered because the tip wasn't glued sufficiently. If was loose and sort of rattled around on its base. Had I dropped that one on hardwood floor I could totally see it breaking. But that's why I returned it. Just inspect it well, handle with care and you'll be okay. ☺��

I used the rubber tip too. I believe that what why it was provided. My dogs haven't had any issues to date.

Richard did you ever find a way to replace the black plastic tip? I have the same problem and don't know who the manufacturer is to contact them.

I have been using it for about a month and so far so good. I previously used a $14 stylus I purchased at a big box store and the rubber tip ripped and was then useless. I have had no issues with these but like I said before I haven't been using for very long. But for the price it's worth a try.

Hi, Well there are two ways I have used. Spray some WD40 around the top of the old tip then try to turn the tip with some pliers and wiggle it off. (If you do not have WD40 try 3in1 oil or baby oil). If it still does not give, soak the rubber tip in VERY HOT soapy water and with pliers, wiggle. The last resort is to cut the old tip off (with a box cutter or with a small hand drill using the small circular bit. Good luck!

The rubber tip seems to be fastened in pretty well and the top doesn't unscrew, so I don't believe that these tips are meant to be replaced.

I don't know about "top of the line," but I've had one of the rubber tips fall off two of them after only mild to moderate use. I couldn't find the tip the first time and threw the tool away. I found the tip for the second one and super-glued it and the other tip on, but one of them fell off again a few weeks later. I liked it because it folds and easily tucks into the seat pocket in the car, but I think I'm going to look for a non-folding and hopefully sturdier grabber to put on my Christmas wishlist. I mainly use it to pick up trash as I walk along a dirt trail where I volunteer or on the street where people park. I'm not using it to pick up anything heavy.
