Does the keyboard cover touch the LCD screen and leave imprints when the MBP is closed?

It doesn't touch the LCD . For the price.. You cannot go wrong. It fits beautifully and I often forget its there but the rubber will fade over a couple of months.

After about a year of daily use the more used keys have formed a slight bump on them which does touch the screen.

It does on the 15 in. MBP w/retina, not as much as the regular keyboard cover, but still does it.

I have had my keyboard cover for about 3 months now, and have not had a problem with imprints on the screen of my MBPR13'. The keyboard sits quite tightly onto the keyboard (i.e. there is little to no space between the top of the keys and the bottom of the keyboard's key coverings) which may explain why this has not been a problem.

Some people say that it does but, it does not on my 15" MBP with Retina. Super happy with this cover. Same one fits my 13" MBP Retina and doesn't touch the screen.

Yes. The keyboard is a magnant. However I don't know if it's damaging or not.

After a long time of use of the keyboard cover for my laptop, some impressions have appeared on the screen. But these impressions are visible only when I turn off my laptop.

No. The case does have rubber bumpers around the edge of the upper half that holds the iPad though so when the case is closed the keys will not press against the scree leaving an imprint over time as some other cases I read about do.

Yes, it does sometimes, but I still think it's a good protector. I just think of it as a friendly reminder to wipe off the screen and the keyboard:)

The screen is always connected to the keyboard. when it is "open," the screen merely slides up at an angle and is held in place a that angle. This is not a typical laptop in that the screen is always exposed. It does not fold over onto the keyboard.

Maybe after about 2 months the paint from the keyboard might leave marks on your screen

No. It does have an LED light on the top of the screen that can shine down on to the keyboard, though I've never actually used it.

Unfortunately no, it is just like the MacBook Pro keyboard minus the backlight, however.

This laptop hasn't a touch screen. You have to take care with the things you leave there, because any screen is going to be broken if you leave something between the keyboard and the screen when it is closed.

No it doesn't allow for the backlight to show through.. I removed the keys after one week. The wooden keys give the macbook and distinct look, but it's not very functional.. Hard to type papers for class when you can't feel the indentions on the keyboard

the ipad is completely covered when the cover is closed. the back is inserted into a cover and the keyboard covers the display when closed.

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.

Yes. With the keyboard attached it is like a mini laptop screen closes and is protected.

The keyboard comes with two small stick-on pads that cushion the iPad when it's in the "closed" position. I don't have a protective cover on my screen and I haven't had any issues with scratches. However, even though the keyboard acts like a cover, it doesn't latch shut, so if you keep it in a purse or bag, a pen or something could slip in between and scratch it. I keep mine in a little bag and haven't had any problems.

The first one I got did, but that was because I left it on for a long time and sometimes put weight on top of the computer screen when I closed it. It washed off, however, and I've also had my second cover for about 2 months and haven't had marks again. It might be a new improvement to the design, or I just kept mine on much too long previously. As long as you change the cover periodically and clean the screen, everything should be fine.

I would NOT use this or any keyboard cover on your retina macbook pro. The cover will touch and damage your screen. I just had my screen replaced (Late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina 15") because dust on this exact keyboard cover scratched my screen. Thank my lucky stars Apple decided to cover it with two weeks left before my apple care was going to run out or it was going to cost me $720 to replace my screen. I have since extended my coverage for the additional 2 years.
