Does this need a screen protector or is there a buffer between the iPad screen and the keyboard?

No protector needed. There is felt around the edge that protects the screen. I Recomend this item. :)

It doesn't have a built in pad or buffer between screen and keyboard. Although I've not had a problem at all with any scratches to the screen and I don't put anything between my screen and the keyboard.

It's always good to have the protector. Then again, I don't have it and I've had absolutely no problem with scratches.

It needs a screen protector. I also use a piece of cloths to protect the screen from the keyboard. The keyboard is fantastic.

Yes, there is a buffer. The keyboard is frustrating because they removed the :/; key and made them a function under the K & L key. Bummer of a way to save space.

I have a screen protector. There is a possibility that your screen might get scratched

My iPad doesn't have a screen protector, so I don't know if it would work or not. However, I don't see why it wouldn't. It's a great keyboard.

just the keyboard no cover, when you attached your ipad with the keyboard you can fold it likes a laptop. Screen protector is not necessary, but you may get one for extra protection. I only use the keyboard when needed, so I never have it attached to my ipad.

I do use always a screen protector and have never had any problem. Maybe touchfire won't recommend it for fear of the keyboard pulling the screen protector off, but as I said never had any issue with them on.

Yes, it has a screen protector...it does inhibit some of the responsiveness of the screen, so you have to tap a bit more firmly. You shouldn't need two screen protectors unless one is just a film.

No, i dont remember there being one. I actually returned it because of the silicone keys. They didnt feel like a regular keyboard and that was too weird for me. I do remember ordering more screen protectors for just a few more dollars.

no need for a screen protector because it has one built in. It's a full body cover for the Ipad mini

No, in fact it protects it. I love this keyboard. I am back to my normal typing speed on the iAir Pad. I love it and would high recommend it. Buy it you'll enjoy it!

When closed only the screen is protected, but you can buy covers for the back. I really like this keyboard, It's by far my favorite of the six I own.

No built in screen protector. Keys are silicone material that are raised but not independent of keyboard.

It snaps on to cover the screen only. I have this keyboard and it works fine. I still bought a padded case to carry the ensemble...the keyboard will not do much to protect the unit if its dropped.

I believe there is one of these covers for the back of the iPad itself. Try to search for it. If not, I've used a clear cover on the back of my iPad 3 and had no issues with the keyboard.

The screen is exposed, there is no built in protector. I have a screen protector on mine, you need to be a tiny bit careful not to disturb the edges of the film when putting the ipad into the case - it is not a real issue.

Actually NO. My screen was scratched BY THE KEYBOARD. The white colored groove has edges that are higher and harder than the rest of the keyboard. I bought this keyboard to help protect my screen from scratches...but now I have two permanent horizontal screen scratches spanning the length of the ipad screen :(

Not really. The screen protects it from scratches and whatnot. My iPad2 had a broken screen as well and i had to fix it first

This is just a protective backing for the keyboard not the iPad. I do have a Luvvitt cover for the pad that would do what you want. But this is not it

The ballistics case does not have a screen protector. There is a plastic cover for over the screen when the iPad is not in use and the surrounding casing itself gives a decent amount of spacing for the screen so that if you drop it and the screen is down, there is empty space so the screen itself doesn't hit the ground.
