New iPad Pro keyboard case. Does it scratch the screen

[omairrr]

Guys,
I Want to get the new iPad Pro 12.9 with the keyboard case. However, I am a bit concerned about the design. The previous iPad Pro, the keyboard would close up so the screen would be touching the microfibre back.

On the new folio, the keyboard literally closes on the iPad pro’sn screen. How is does that not damage/scratch the iPad Pro screen?

It doesn’t scratch the screen. Mine has been attached practically everyday and no scratches. I don’t use a screen protector either.

Same here. No scratches for mine either.

Are there outlines of the keys on your screen?

No haven’t seen key outlines on screen either. The new iPads are such a fingerprint magnet that smudges end up all over the screen long before the keyboard has a chance to smudge it.

If you don’t have any debris on the keyboard itself, it won’t scratch the screen. The keyboard is made out of fabric and only harder than glass debris can scratch the screen.

No scratches on my screen so far after typing extensively on the keyboard folio. That being said, just don’t type with greasy fingers or any sticky residues that might stick on the keys and transfer to the screen.

None on mine so far after a few weeks of use. Screen is awful for fingerprints anyway, worst I’ve seen on any apple touch device so far.

I dont understand why it would scratch the screen? The only thing you have to be careful of is debris. The general rule of thumb is that for glass to be scratched, it must be scratched by something of a ‘harder’ substance than the glass itself. This is why sand is the usual suspect, as it often gets everywhere. Clean off the keyboard before you close it and there’s basically no reason why the screen should ever be scratched.

If you're paranoid about scratches, just use a piece of paper or a microfiber cloth between the keyboard and the screen. (Back in the day, I used to put a piece of cardstock over my MacBook Pro keys. I even wrote "Screen" on the side that faced the display.)

I am probably mistaken, but I am under the impression that the object causing the scratching, has to be harder than the surface it is scratching in order to create any kind of abrasion. As the keyboard is softer than the screen it's self, I would be confident in saying that it won't scratch.

By now, OP's case is probably scratched up.
