Is the corner protection made of hard plastic? If so, will it cause scratches on the black & slate iPad mini?

No its actually leather trimmed corners I would guess with metal underneath it. Great case to have

Just have it for few hours, but it does not look like it would cause scratches as it is covered with suede.

The corners are rigid but appear to be lined with a black felt where it would make contact with the IPad Mini. I trust that it will not mark the device.

No scratches that I can notice. The case seems to be hard plastic sandwiched between leather (outside) and a suede type leather on the inside (think suede couch). I am satisfied with the protection and fit is good esp. for the price!

The corners are covered in leather so no worries on scratches. It fits well really like it

This case has a plushy inner layer. There is no plastic contact to the iPad Mini. I wouldn't worry it.

No, it is made of the same soft leather material as the entire case. You won't be disappointed in this case, it is very nice :-)

The corners are actually made of the same material at the rest of the cover. The material appears to be molded or bent over to hold the iPad. If you've seen a Marware C.E.O. Hybrid, it's the exact same fastening system. The material in the corners are thick and should provide excellent protection for the device's corners. I don't think it will scratch the mini but I've only had ours for a few days now. Over time "scuff" marks may develop, but I doubt that it will cause actual scratches.

I concur with Carroll Parson, it is not plastic, it is very durable. I have had a blue one for a year and am ordering a different color and a slightly different way of inserting the ipad, iPad Mini Case, i-Blason Apple iPad Mini 3 Case [2014 Release with Touch ID] Compatible with iPad Mini / iPad Mini with Retina Display Auto Wake / Sleep Smart Cover Leather Case (Elastic Hand Strap, Multi-Angle, Card Holder) With Bonus Stylus 3 Year Warranty (Green)

I haven't had any scratching. For my use it protects the iPad quite adequately, however, I am a very careful and gentle user for the most part, so can't speak to rougher use. I like this keyboard very much and would highly recommend it.

Yes...face is protected with the built in plastic protection that comes with hard case. However , it does not protect with scratches on it.

Yes. It's a hard plastic. I've had this case since the day the iPhone 5s came out. I have dropped my phone several times and have had no problems. The only drawback is that the plastic on the back of the case is flush with the edges, so when you put your phone down, the plastic scratches. The scratches are pretty evident. You can still see that it's a glitter case, but it gets pretty scratched pretty easily. On the flip side, because I like the case so much, I'm actually considering ordering another one and "starting fresh" with no scratches.

Hard plastic (like the Two peace plastic you would get for a picture or business card etc.) works great for protecting the screen , I droped my iPhone 4s on the corner of something Messed the plastic protector not the phone. Hope this answers your question. :)

Most of the shell is hard plastic, but all the colored trim parts are softer (I assume it is rubber). The raised lip that rims the screen is rubber, as are the corners, which protects it if you drop it on the corners. I have, and it bounces.

It hasn't scratched mine, although I do have a screen protector. But there aren't any scuffs on it. Nothing really sticks up that would scratch it.

Hmm honestly not sure what it is called, but it is definitely not a cheap plastic. The interior of the front cover is felt on the part that touches the screen and the outer part of the cover is a smooth thick material. Sorry I don't know if that helps but it definitely looks nice and feels smooth. It also protects the ipad pretty well (from my experience so far).

It shouldn't scratch the screen, no. But a screen protector isn't a bad idea. I use the Inivisibleshield on my Mini and the Jots work great with it

I have the clear case and have not noticed any scratches. The fact that it is softer (gel-like) I don't believe it will scratch like a hard case. I am happy with it.

Sorry!!! I have not tried it. I use a vey soft material like the one you use for your eye glass since I know it will not scratch the surface. Plus I have a tempered glass screen protector so my IPAD is fine.

Mine has a protective cover on it which I highly reccomend, but I have not noticed any scratches to that cover from it so far.

its very good case i have dropped it many times it has no problem with screen, edges ... but its weakness is corner. all my ipad corners are "crashed"

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

It is a hard plastic. It is extremely thin, and is mostly for looks and to prevent scratches. It won't provide protection beyond that, but it is cute.

Yes, but I don't like the hard plastic screen protector, it provides excellent protection for the glass but you loose some sensitivity. It's great if you don't mind pressing a tiny bit harder when you type but it irritated me. I have found that the factory glass is very scratch resistant as is and the design of the case protects the glass from most impact damage.
