Does this case provide any buffer for the front of the Ipad or does it only protect the back?

It mainly protects the back, although it does have a, 1/8" thick, lip extruding around the perimeter of the front of the iPad, it is meant to be used with the Apple iPad Smart Cover.

It does not have a built in cover that remains over the screen. However, the front of the case (also the stand) No, protects the screen well when hand carrying and storing the iPad in a bag. Also, the borders of the back of the case sit 1-2 mm above the screen reducing the likelihood of direct impact to the screen during a fall.

It only protects the small part around the front. The blue part you can see from the image posted. My phone has landed screen down on concrete twice and that small part of the case has Protected my phone screen from breaking. Not sure if I'm making any sense... The small rim of the case that covers the front screen has protected it from breaking, it lands on a flat surface so what hits on the phone is the case covering in the front....

No this case has a front and back to it and covers the whole thing. The originals just covered the front. It does put the iPad to sleep when covered and it can become a stand and is multi -positional.

This only protects the front of the iPad, just like the Apple SmartCover. The back is never covered.

No just front if you get the moshi case that one comes with a back protecter.

The front does not have a hard shield, but my twelve-year old is the owner of the iPad and my four-year old plays on it daily. We also have the older iPad in the Survivor and that is sturdy, but super bulky. This Beetle case has been great protection from drops, but we did not put it through the stepped on test as we have with the Survivor case.

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

It does not protect the front. It only protects the sides and the back. But it is very cute.

There really isn't a "front." Your phone sort of slips into it and the case hugs the edges. It provides minimal protection.The back surface is wooden, while the sides are some sort of plastic. One of my plastic sides broke off after a month or two.They looks really cool, but if you're looking for something that provides protection and will stand the test of time, look elsewhere.

It covers the screen side. When closed, it's light& fits perfectly! Back of the ipad is completely uncovered. I put it in a sleeve and fits fine!

The back is protected as well. It is a plastic case for the back and a bumper for the sides and front. Very well made.

No it does not... BUT....the sides protrude and serve as a buffer if you drop it. I have dropped my phone several times and it fell face down. I love my cover... buy it!!!!

Yes, the front closes to protect the front of your iPad. It also automatically turns your device off when it closes.

No, it covers the front only, but if you want full coverage for iPad with similar features you can buy Apple Smart Case.

This model does not cover the back of the ipad - just the screen side when it is closed. ZAGG does make a model that has a similar keyboard along with a back cover. I purchased the other ZAGG (with back cover) and love it. I was not crazy about the the model you asked about. Hope this helps.

The case covers the sides and the back. It comes with a screen protector for the front.
