They help preserve the screen and help people who have large fingers be able to have more accuracy when texting and selecting things on the small screen. The stylus pen is not expensive, but if you didn't have any money to spare, you could make one.

It does kind of seem like a lot of trouble, though clever. You can get a stylus at Dollar Tree, and I can't visualize a scenario where it would be this much of an emergency to have one.
