In addition you get the colorful cover

I use my iPad for art, so having the soft cover helps me not press too hard with my pencil

The covers are a nice bonus to protect the nib and pen writes fine with the protective nib covers on (though the white ones are a tad loose so may

lost a star cause both tip covers that i expected to protect the tips longer ripped after a few days of use, but the tears actually dont get in the way of writing at all surprisingly

I also like the covers for the tips

As with the apple tip, these are difficult to write with with a soft cover over them

I think a tip cover that provides a level of friction somewhere between the factory tip and these covers would be ideal for me.

Pen tips fit perfectly, and the covers are nice and stylish!
