Does attaching the device as instructed scratch the paint or damage the frame?

The vertical plates that are used for clamping are rubber-coated. They are attached with two long screws. As long as the screws aren't butting up against some part of your frame, I can't see how this product would damage the paint.

No. The pieces that have contact with the bike have a rubber and plastic covering. Very durable and does not scratch or damage the frame.

Not at all. I have noticed that from time to time (maybe once a month) you do need to reach down and tighten the knobs but I have not noticed any damage.

No because the clamp is plastic and the cable are metal. If you clamp it tight enough it does not rub and does not damage the paint, at least so far.

it is not... but i think if you scratch the screen it will appear.. also if its dirty, the image will get that imperfects

The surface contact area of the base, is covered/shielded by a thin layer of polyurethane plastic. I will neither mar nor scratch the painted finish. However, I would advise against sliding the base along the surface. It is best to tilt-up the base then lift it entirely off the surface, when either relocating or removing the antenna.

I attached mine to a near verticle part of the frame because I was not using a seatpost at the time. You may want to protect the frame paint with tape.

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

Ours is attached to the frame rather than the post and works perfectly fine. I did place cardboard underneath however to prevent from scratching the paint job.

I have tested it by attaching the snap first before sealing it to the frame, unless there's a problem with the lcd or digitizer. it should just work with no problems.

Should be no problem whatsoever. I also had all kinds of scrapes and scratches on my bumper and had actually considered having it airbrushed before applying the BumperTek. But decided the BumperTek would cover up most of them, and it did. And there was no issue getting it to adhere to the bumper right over the scratches. Bill

I drive a journey. You probably can just be careful when setting it up since it will scratch the top, leaving huge scratches.

It will scratch anything that is softer than the plastic that its made of. For example, I don't have paint on the corner of the wall where mine is setup. I suggest adding some rubber or felt feet to keep it from scratching things up. Just make sure what ever you add is large enough to not be swallowed in case it comes off.

LOOK TO SEE IF THE FRAME HAS BEEN BENT AT ALL. IF SO MAKE SURE TO USE THE BEND TO HELP KEEP IT ON THE FRAME. I HAVE Never had this problem. Mine is quite old and I make sure the bend faces outward so it connects the snuggest.

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.

No I've not seen any scratching. The only down side to this holster I've seen is on rare occasions I carried a heavy shoulder bag on the same side as the holster I accidentally undid the clip causing the phone to fall. Mind you the phone survived the fall and I've since learned not to clip on same side I carry. This may not be a big deal at all if you rarely carry a shoulder bag... I did it twice before I started remembering not to carry and clip on same side.

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

Yeah I did this before I built my frame and it worked just fine. Just make sure it is stretched tight.

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.
