I love this stylus but it has some flaws

I spent a lot of time browsing the stylus options on Revain to find the exact stylus I needed. I didn't want a rubber tip as I've had bad experiences with rubber tips in the past. I bought this stylus set to use with 3 LG Stylo 5 mobile phones. The color of this stylus set was important to me. I have 2 cell phones that I use and I kept the pink and purple pen for myself. The third pen is turquoise and my partner used it with her cell phone. Neither of us used the straps that come with this set (15 inches long including 3). Each pin is 5.3 inches long. They're thick enough to fit comfortably in your hand and are much more convenient and accessible than the included Stylo 5 pen, which is kept in your phone. I love how these pens feel natural in hand. The steel and aluminum construction feels solid. While this is the perfect stylus for me, it does have a few downsides. First, the tip doesn't hold tight. Since the tips are meant to be swapped out, they're easy to unscrew if you don't want to. It seems to me that I constantly tighten the tips or they fall off during use. It doesn't matter how tight you tighten them. The other issue I had was the tight bag closure. When I first got the stylus, the pocket clip was useless. I had to take a pair of pliers and rip the clip off the pen body. Once I did that, the pocket clip worked perfectly. I think it's too tight when done. Replacement tips are good (you get three of them). Since the tips are made out of micro-knit fibers, a type of fabric, I don't know how long they'll last. I know they get dusty very quickly and collect all the dirt and dust from the phone. We use Otter Box screen protectors and the stylus works great with them. You also get a microfiber cleaning cloth, which I think comes with everything you buy these days. The cleaning cloth measures 5.5" x 3". I haven't used a microfiber cleaning cloth as I find they always leave more fibrous dust behind. In the end these pens meet all the requirements I wanted, they are comfortable to use and very responsive to the phone. . I will definitely buy them in the future when they wear out.
