Will the metal back scratch when sliding the iPad on a surface?

The back of the model I got is hard plastic and seems pretty scratch resistant. I do have one scratch on it, but it's not obvious. Overall it's a good ipad protector.UPDATE: Oh dang - I just looked closer at the back of my case. it IS metal after all, not plastic as I thought. It does have a very minor scratch. As another person said, the raised tabs on the corners generally keep the back off of whatever you set it on. It's a good design.

Not if it is a flat surface. There is a raised tab in each corner to keep the back from getting scratched.

It's not hard, it is a soft and slightly rubbery material. It will not scratch the screen.If you are referring to the back portion that the iPad sits in, it won't scratch either. It fits very well.

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 :(

Absolutely. It doesn't affect the pen or touch feature in any way. It doesn't cause any "drag" like other screen protectors, and it won't scratch. It's as if the screen protector IS the screen! :D

Hi.No, it does not scratch the glass on ipad. But be careful with this stylus, a spring is fragile. If you drop it to floor you can easily broke the spring.

the surface grip doesnt prevent sliding, as the majority of the surface is metal. there will be some sliding so be aware.

No but I also have a screen protector on my phone so nothing scratches the screen. The only way it would scratch the screen is if the metal tip is used instead of the soft bottom

I'm using a glass screen protector. Been using it since end of December, no scratches. The tip is metal with a plastic cover.

Yes, it dose have rubber feet/pads that keep it from sliding. I have it on a smooth counter and it dose not slide nor scratch.

No, the screen is completely protected by the thick edges of the sleeve in which the iPad rests. In order to scratch the screen you would have to leave something large and pointed on the keyboard and then close everything up but Kensington cannot protect from those kinds of acts.In a nutshell, this unit is as protective as any reasonable person could expect! Would I buy it again... without reservation!Hope this helps!

No, the keyboard does not scratch or rub the face of the IPad when closed. The cover has a border on the inside that prevents it from touching the screen.

I have had one of the early versions without the dampening tip for about 2 years now. I do not notice that it put scratches on my iPad screen, and I do not have a screen protector. I use it for taking notes on a daily basis.

It is metal on the bottom, so it would scratch your desk moving it back and forth. I have a nice computer desk I don't want scratched. I glued felt strips to both sides of the metal base supports on the bottom. That will do the trick. This unit is nice sturdy metal and quality construction.

It could scratch the finish if it slides at all. The bottom is all hard plastic. Much safer than metal. I wouold recommend putting a pad under it even a very thin one. This stand is great for tires without flaring knobs that are wide. I use it for such a bike, but didn't work with the bike I bought it for.

If it is the same size, it is a great product. I would also check to make sure the side buttons are in the same position (on/off switch, volume etc.) My son has dropped his Ipad several times and even down the stairs. Not one scratch! I love this product.

I can't speak to your particular item but I have a iphone 5s and a IPad 3 and have not seen any scratches. This has been a great item for me. I hope this helps.
