Their protectors are also great for any screen you want to protect and have them for almost everything it looks like.  I use the antiglare version which has a slight matte texture/feel.  They also can darken in bright hot sunlight just a heads up.  At one point I was outside with my Newt and thought it was my screen going dark then I realized it was the protector and no damage done as it returns once you are out of the sun.> > The rubberized tips might wear more on the bare screen, but I wouldn't worry about it if you have a Nushield in place.  The feel might be a bit off with more 'drag' than a plastic tip.> > -Dan> > > On 6/16/2020 10:08 PM, Tim Johnson wrote:>> Thanks Dan and Nic.>> >> I do believe the stock MP2x00 stylus I used on my former unit had a defect or wear on the tip and it did cause scratches.
