Does the keyboard scratch the screen?

I have not had any issues with the keyboard scratching the screen because there is a small space between the keyboard and the screen when the folder is closed. they don't even come in contact with each other.

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!

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. The keyboard is the same size as the screen just a little thinner. You can close it against the screen like a laptop. I bought two for my kids in Feb and they have had no issues with them. Hope that helps.

No. The keyboard does not. It only needs regular cleaning from dust and foreign particles.

The surface (other than the sides) are matted, so finger prints don't really show up well. Upon inspecting it right now after using it for a few months I can smudges and a bit of dirt but thats really my fault more then the keyboard >.>As to it scratching, I've not noticed anything of the sort and the lighting is pretty awesome.Negatives: Dont get this to write any papers from the get go. It often has issues creating capitol letters, and it takes an unusually long time to break in the keys. Aside from the function of the keyboard, if you buy this particular item then you will need to semi permanently leave your left pinky in the space between the "M" keys and the left shift.

mine has not scratched and around the keyboard is a matt finish so finger prints are minimum.

No, but the keyboard really serves as a case. It covers the screen and protects it.

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.

No the keyboard does not rub on the screen. I have a screen protector on my tablet. Does not have a snap button it has a flap that goes into a slot hope this helps you

I have not found any scratches on my screen. The key board is bigger in size to the tablet so it fits over the tablet. The closer is not snap but it slides under a strap and has a magnet to keep it closed. I have never had it come open.

no. the keys are soft and there is a min space between the screen and keys.

No, the Nook does not get scratched when the cover is closed. The Nook part of the cover has a leather edge around it that keeps the Nook from coming in contact with the keyboard.

No. The key board has soft rubberized coating, plus with a good screen protector film, you'll not have any issues.

The one I have does not - but that said, I've been very pleased with its performance, love the keyboard and the "case" functionality, well worth the $.

Not an exprert I'm sure it will still get scratched. I have this with a screen protect on my iPad. I love this case and keyboard.

I do not have a screen cover on my ipad and have not experienced any scratches from my Sharkk keyboard.
