can the case be closed comfortably without scratching the screen while both the tablet and keyboard are inside?

If you are using this case for the 8 inch Samsung Galaxy tablet, DO NOT BUY IT. It is not designed for that tablet. For instance, the hole on the rear of the cover for the camera is in the wrong position. It also does not "hold" the tablet correctly. Not sure which tablet this case is designed for, but it is not for the one I mentioned.

I have a clear cover over the screen and have had no issues with the keyboard scratching it...love my case!

No, the case is not only good for the keyboard. I have used many other items in there and have had no problems. The keyboard has soft keys, which are up against the screen, but I have not experienced any damage. The case becomes the stand and is strong enough to sit on the desk next to my computer monitors. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can close the case without removing the keyboard. It has worked pretty good.Good protection. Key board bluetooth working.I like it and it was reasonably priced.DS

It won't be scratched. The keyboard will never be in touch with the surface.

Yep, it does close with it. You may be able to see a little latch on the backside above the kickstand...that wraps around the tablet and keyboard and attaches to the other side of the case. Also the keyboard is magnetic so you can remove it if you want.

It's not really a case, more of a stand. The tablet locks into it screen-side down only. So if you want to use it as just a tablet, like you have to with most games, then yes, you need to set the keyboard aside.

I would say it is not. The keyboard sends to be pretty exposed and there are openings into the tablet. The exterior would be resistant to liquids but it can easily get into the tablet and keyboard.

The keyboard is integrated into the case itself. It is not removable from the case.

This particular item is just the case. The detachable keyboard is sold separately. I am able to close it with the soft keyboard attached.

I'd recommend the screen protector just to avoid scratches from day to day use of the s-pen or another stylus. That said, no, the keyboard has not caused any damage whatsoever to my tablet to date.

The keyboard can be removed and your tablet will remain in the protective leather enclosure. As long as the velcro retaining strap is in place the tablet stays tight. On the negative side, don't expect the keyboard to last long before the keys start failing to respond! I got two of them and one of them didn't last much more than two weeks before they started to fail! I like the protective portfolio but not impressed with the keyboard.

No because the keyboard is recessed and the iPad slips into a slot that keeps the screen from touching the keyboard.

Yes, it closes beautifully and compactly with and without the keyboard. I just love this case! It's very stylish and durable. I've been using it for several months now and it is perfect to take to my clinical sites.

It can be done. Take the keyboard off first and turn the panel over. It might be awkward to hold the case but you can read in this position

I have not had any issues with the keyboard scratching the screen because there is a small space between the keyboard and the screen when the folder is closed. they don't even come in contact with each other.

Yes. While the case is folded shut you can't use anything because the shell protects the iPad and the keyboard, but when you fold it open the touch screen is unimpeded.

Yes you can! The strap of the case only secures the tablet itself. But the keyboard is definitely removable without having to remove the case.
