With the Edge mounted, or if you mount it on the handlebars, then the tab is shielded somewhat.

So I finally learned to be careful about how I grab the stem so that my hand doesn't catch on the tab.
thats exactly why i dont like stuff mounted to the stem. when i'm walking my bike i grab the stem to steer it and i like it obstruction free...
