Is it possible for the rubber tip to bend away, letting the sheath scratch screens? I teach SPED preschool and the kids are not gentle!

U can actually unscrew the metal that surrounds the rubber tip if you want to but no it won't my 4yr old uses his on his tablet and kindle fire you should be fine we never had a issue with them there was thought to go around my two boys me and my mom 2each and still have 2left

I suppose it's possible, but I just tried really smashing it down & had no issue. I do have a protector over my screen. I have 2 in front of me & looking at them, the rubber piece is covered all the way to the end & sheath starts a bit back, so pressing hard will still get you rubber, although I would check them often. If they are pushing that hard, it wont take long for it to wear thru. Hope that makes sense!

As previously answered before, I found the rubber tip to be very soft and each lasted only a week. It is relatively easy to pull the tip off due to its size and softness. I dont think that I would recommend a preschool student use this product.

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.

Absolutely! The tips are a super soft rubber that can be bent enough, when being used, that the metal tube can scratch the device. I can confirm this when my daughter scratched my Ipod with it. (thankfully the screen protector worked as it should have!) Hope that helps. Good luck with your decision / purchase.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

No, it does not bend easily, it's a heavier weight stainless steel than many others I've seen. It's very well-made and we are completely happy with it. We are following instructions and not leaving any flatware in standing water, and separating knives alone in compartment in dishwasher so no scratches happen. Really love this set!!

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.

Just pull. It is a "friction" type sheath - perhaps yours is just tight, or maybe there's a bit of glue or something there. Be careful - it's sharp.

I have bought many styluses. Because I often use the side of the tip, I need a stylus with a deeper tip so it won't scratch the screen of my iPad. This stylus is probably the least likely to scratch the screen of any I have bought. I do not have the problem you asked about. Hope this helps.

I put one tiny little hair thin scratch into the display, but it took a lot of drawing for me to do that. After two weeks of use I decided to get a cover for the screen which prevents any wear and tear. I recommend you get one for yours if you're used to putting a lot of pressure on the pen when you draw.

Hi ... in response you your question, I tried to twist off the clip. Seems it's either glued or affixed so well that it's not going anywhere. I felt like it'd break (not easily) from all my twisting before it'd come off. I seriously doubt it'll come off with normal use. I use the pencil all the time and think it's a great instrument.

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! If you attempt to remove the plastic tip the whole thing will break and will need replacement tip, the plastic holds the small rubber piece inside from breaking sooner than it should

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.

The sheath is designed to be used with the scales attached, so getting it to 'snap' in securely without them may be a challenge. You might be able to modify the scales though, and just retain a small portion, to allow it to lock into the sheath, then wrap the rest with paracord. For the current price (under $14), I may pick up another one just to try it out.

Hi Sara... NOT with the ballpoint please ... but the use of the touch screen rubber tip is fine on any of the touch screen phones, tablets, or computers. I hope this helps.

I've used my sleeve daily since early August and I have no issue with the rippers. They're sturdy and I don't anticipate them breaking anytime soon. I haven't experienced the rippers scratching my laptop; you can fold them back as you insert your laptop to further prevent them from scratching it... but I haven't had to do this and I see no scratches. I hope this helped!

Yes, it has a rubber tip. I've used mine for a few months and there is no sign of wear. It folds nicely, and comes with a plastic (clear) case. This makes it great for me. I try not to use the cane, but need it (badly) at times. Also, the grip on the handle "hugs" any surface you rest it against, wall, sink, car, etc. It's GREAT ! I would buy again, and again.

The microfiber prevents the wearing of the coating on the rubber tips, I use mine for sketching on a drawing app and have found its much much better than the rubber. I'd really like to see one of these in a finer tip. I use for IPad, Kindle Fire HD and a cheap LG touch phone. Works break across the board.

Actually, with a screen protector, you should be safe. However, I've found a simple rubber tipped stylus -- a give-away item from my local credit union -- actually works better! Whoda thunk?
