iPad Pro Nanotexture screen scratches with Magic Keyboard?

[xraydoc]

For those of you who have a nanotexture iPad Pro and the Magic Keyboard, has anyone experienced permanent screen marks or scratches in the nanotexture etching?

I just purchased a 13” iPad Pro with the nanotexture screen and absolutely love it — it’s great at cutting out glare in a bright harsh office environment — but I’d like to hear some durability experience from those who’ve had it a while before I decide on purchasing the Magic Keyboard (I’m undecided on it for several reasons, scratches being only one of them). I do have a Magic Keyboard for my standard-glass 11” iPad Pro M4, and I‘ve had them for prior iPad models as well, so I’m very familiar with them otherwise and haven’t seen any associated screen issues, fortunately.

Nano-use Suggestions:

1) When traveling with the M4 and keyboard, carry separately unless you put a thin sheet (like comes with the Mac) between the screen and keyboard or use a very thin cloth.

2) I use a very thin silicone keyboard cover on my Magic Keyboard to keep the keyboard clean and less likely to be a problem, should I need to close the keyboard while attached. I make a point to keep the Apple cleaning cloth handy in a sandwich bag so it stays clean, as well as other thin cloths to act as a barrier.

3) When not using the Magic Keyboard, I use a stylus to unlock the ipad, open apps, and type. I haven’t had to clean either of my Nano-Texture screens, outside of using a very soft feather duster.

One of the 13” M4’s I solely use with the Magic Keyboard and the other is used with a Zugu Case (the latter gets the stylus use etc). My 11” M4 is standard glass with a screen protector and Zugu case.

edited to add: I did read a thread this morning on here from someone with a M4 Pro who noticed a slight keyboard imprint on his nano screen and was inquiring how to clean and if it was permanent.

From what I have read from many users, the screen has the hardness akin to the aluminum series Apple Watch (with some getting scratches on the screen) and I treat my Nano iPads in that light.

Thanks for your feedback. I’m not worried about my fingers on the nanotexture screen, but the use of a thin microfiber between the keyboard and screen when closed is reasonable.

I’ve used my 11” M4 with the Magic Keyboard since May and have had no issues with the nano screen. It’s pretty durable. I do periodically clean the keyboard with “Whoosh” spray.
