@ rogerpiano is definitely exaggerating the problem. The stylus has already a very delicate tip which slides smoothly over the surface. The rubber, that is the other side of the stylus, is not that smooth though. Myself I don't use the pressure-sensitive writing mode as I prefer to slide the pen effortlessly and always draw with fixed width to my liking. It is a little annoying that the Max always default to pressure-sensitive writing mode. This should be configurable in the general device settings.
Nonetheless the screen surface is a bit soft. I have never used screen protectors on my devices and never got scratches. On my Max2 I already can spot "microscopic" scratches when looking thoroughly under strong light. It's something that did not happened through a year with my Max (it still looks pristine). I guess that under my use the screen surface may exhibit some wear out after two or three years. I think that the eraser side of the pen may have caused the scratches, as suggested by others. I'll rather use the software erase mode from now on.
