They don't scratch the iPad. I've used it by itself (no case, screen/back protectors) for a year and never had problems.
i have an ipad 2 and the blue smart cover has scratched it not at the end but in the middle and i cant get it off just send me ur email and i can show u the photo
my ipad ruined!!!!!![]()
is there a case for the smart cover to mag on the case instead of the iPad to avoid scratches and without a back shield protector?
