is the front facing keyboard likely to scratch the iPad screen (if you don't have a clear cover film on it) ?

Haven't had an issue with scratching and I don't have a protective film on iPad. Not 100% sure I'd purchase again after usin it for about a month --- not as protective as previous version --- iPad stand doesn't always stay up --- however battery life is awesome.

The keyboard comes with two small stick-on pads that cushion the iPad when it's in the "closed" position. I don't have a protective cover on my screen and I haven't had any issues with scratches. However, even though the keyboard acts like a cover, it doesn't latch shut, so if you keep it in a purse or bag, a pen or something could slip in between and scratch it. I keep mine in a little bag and haven't had any problems.

The keyboard has 4 rubberized pads on each corner that keeps the face lifted off of the keyboard so the keys do not touch the iPad face at all.

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

Hi... To be honest with you , i regret it . I have iPad mini retina with a monitor anti-scratch cover , the jot didn't work properly on the cover so i took the cover off , i used the jot directly on the monitor. The jot scratched my monitor that was last time i used itI prefer jot script it looks better and it doesn't have this metal head.My advice!!! Don't buy it

No. You use the keyboard as a screen protector *instead* of using a case. The iPad fits into a hinged clip on one side of the keyboard, such that you can flip up the iPad into a near-vertical position, as though it were the screen of a laptop.

I have a screen protector on my nook, but to answer your question I just checked and the keyboard doesn't seem to actually touch the screen... The one thing I don't care for is (I assume because of the way it's in my purse) the fold is now at an angle... But other than that I love it

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.

Maybe depending on how thick the case. If not I would suggest getting a skin for the back of your iPad to protect from scratching while you use the keyboard. I got the Luvvitt® SILVERBACK (TM) Protective Back Skin from Amazon and it goes on easy / protects while my cover is off. Hope that helps!

I'd recommend the screen protector just to avoid scratches from day to day use of the s-pen or another stylus. That said, no, the keyboard has not caused any damage whatsoever to my tablet to date.

It's more of a screen cover. The ipad connects to the keyboard with magnets on the side and the keyboard folds over and covers the screen. It's similar to Apples ipad cover. So it's not really a case where the entire ipad is covered and protected but it does cover the screen.

The keyboard will rub against the screen if not aligned when closing. I used a screen protector and it already scratched up. The keyboard has to be turned off before closing or else the keys are pressed against the case/screen and it will turn on the display.

The back of the iPad is not protected. The keyboard snaps on top of the iPad, and the back of the iPad is exposed underneath.I have not had any problem with it being that way.

I was told by a sales person that the back of the Ipad has a special coating that protects it from scratches. I don't know if that is true or not, but I don't have scratches on my Ipad and have had it for 6 months.

It needs a screen protector. I also use a piece of cloths to protect the screen from the keyboard. The keyboard is fantastic.

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.

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.

No the keyboard does not scratch the screen. The keys are smoth and do not scratch and unless pressed down, the leather of the cover over the kindle keeps them from touching.

No the keyboard does not rub or scratch the iPad screen. Really like that you can remove the keyboard if you want. Really recommend this cover.
