Review on Screens Universal Capacitive Cellphones Replacement by Bob Schultz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

scratched my screen like hell

Positives They appear to be made of the highest quality materials (the metal screws on the lids fit the metal threads perfectly). no deformations and displacements; looks great and feels good. First I liked this tool: metal so it has weight and I think the durability of the shaft. It's amazing that it comes with interchangeable heads. Has a different type of heads on each end - 1. a mesh "cushion" tip and 2. a transparent disk so I can see exactly where I'm in contact with the screen. Heads can be screwed on and off for easy replacement; There is a metal screw cap that fits over the end of the disc when transporting, but also screws onto the other end to avoid losing it. There is an easy-grip silicon(?) finger grip to use the end of the disc. It's all good, isn't it? Negatives I bought this for the hard drive head because I use a couple of apps that have small icons on the edge of the screen and I had a hard time tapping them with my fingertip. Unfortunately, the drive is flat and hard, but the edge of the phone's screen is curved, so tapping an icon often requires multiple swipes. Disappointing and frustrating at times, but better than nothing. If that were all I would rate it 4 stars though. . .Yesterday I stopped using the toilet and when I came back the black screen was visibly COVERED with scratches in the bright PM light. This isn't carelessness or mishandling (throw in a bag and shove all day): scratches are 90% straight lines up and down as I scroll through long lists. The scratches are so deep I can feel my finger sliding from side to side. I used a mesh tip because the disc head is attached with a thin "silicone" (?) stick, similar to the lead of a mechanical pencil, and I was scared because it isn't durable. But the Mesh Head seems to damage my screen with every hit. I'm only going to use the disk head forward, so half the value is gone, not to mention the damage already done; therefore 2 STARS overall.

Pros
  • Stylus pens
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
