Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a fingertip cover for preventing direct contact between a user's fingertip and a surface. The cover may be removably secured to a fingertip. In an example embodiment, the cover comprises a flexible substrate sized and configured to be placed on and conform to an area of the user's fingertip. At least a portion of the substrate may be conductive to allow transmission of an electric charge from the fingertip to the surface, such as a touch-screen. The cover allows operation of the touch-screen by the user, while preventing direct contact between the fingertip cover and touch-screen.
