Since this cover has actual keys, when you close the keyboard up to protect the screen, will the keys scratch the screen of the Surface?

Mine doesn't, but I have a screen protector. It actually dents the protector, but it's self-healing, so it's all good.

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

Good question. I don't think so, it has four rubber bumpers on the corners that contact the screen before the keyboard does. Will the bumpers leave a mark? I would say yes, but in the long run, and if you leave your screen dirty. If you excerpt too much pressure on the keyboard, it will surely contact the screen and it will eventually scratch it. I'm talking here with my experience with laptops.

If you don't clean the cover periodically (every other month) it will accumulate oils, gunk, etc... and it will transfer them to the screen. No different than any other keyboard cover. On the other hand, it fits like a glove and protects the the laptop well

I've had mine for a year and have never removed it from the keyboard. I have not seen any damage or imprints on the screen. My macbook air is closed most of the time. I love this keyboard cover.

the keys are hard, but it comes with a rubber key cover, to protect the screen when it's closed. I just leave the rubber cover on and it works great, plus it keeps keyboard clean.

Yes! I just purchased this cover for the exact device. The cover may wiggle ever so slightly, but it's not even noticeable when you're typing on the cover. Just FYI, Apple says not to leave covers on when closing the macbook, because the space between the keyboard and screen when the macbook is closed is tiny, and it may possibly damage your screen in the long run. Sometimes when I close the macbook with the keyboard cover still on, some dust/oil transfers to the screen.

Yes! I too have a keyboard protector and have had zero problems. I'm big on protecting such an expensive investment. At first, I thought I was going overboard but it all fits nicely together.

When you have it in the tablet position, yes it protects and covers the keyboard.

So far I have no scratches on the glass from having the keyboard intact. The only thing is smudges from not putting the glass protector on it. It's worth having the keyboard. I love it.

I have this and love it. The keys are soft and built into the cover - there are no sharp edges so I don't see any way it could ever scratch the screen.

I was worried about that as well; but my experience is no it does not. The keys are so flat on the key board, I don't really even think they touch the screen when it's closed and if they do, it certainly isn't in a harmful way.Hope that helps!

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 does noticeably. Though I feel I should also mention that you might have to slightly adjust your typing/pressure to the feel of the cover a little anyway, as you might find it slightly awkward/foreign on first use (though I've never used a cover before so it might just be me!).

I don't think the screen actually touches the keyboard. There is a frame around the keyboard and when you put the iPad into the case, the screen is touching this frame but not the keys themselves.And, no, I haven't noticed any damage of any kind to the screen.

Keyboard is made of ABS material. I put a screen protector on, but I am sure it could based on usage.

Yes. I have the keyboard- not touch- and it fits and closes tightly. Protects the surface very well.
