Haven’t had a keyboard on my iPad Pro and was wondering if a screen protector will be necessary or will I need one to prevent scratches. Will the buttons cause any scratches.
The buttons shouldn’t cause any scratches. I’m sure Apple has thought of that (and the plastic keys are softer than the glass screen)Haven’t had a keyboard on my iPad Pro and was wondering if a screen protector will be necessary or will I need one to prevent scratches.

Good idea. I have many microfiber clothsI use a ShaggyMax microfiber cloth between the iPad display and MK when closed. Keeps the display clean from any potential typing funk

As far as I know, there have been two editions about the SwitchEasy Coverbuddy, and the one that is compatible with both Magic Keyboard and Smart Folio is a little thicker than the other one that is only compatible with MK. I'm guessing the reviewer was using the thicker edition.Hey guys, I’m new here.
Sorry to bump up an old thread.
Does anyone here use a glass screen protector (around 0.3mm thick) on their iPad Pros with the Magic Keyboard?
I’m going to install one, but worry the thickness might cause problem when closing the ipad against the keyboard.
On the side note, I also use a SwitchEasy Coverbuddy with the above combo. It’s been working perfectly without an issue when closing the lid. But someone on the product review section mentioned her same combo wouldn’t close properly due to the added thickness. So I’m guessing it’s not the cover that causing this, but a thick screen protector glass she might installed (?)
Thanks everyone![]()
Since the 11 inch model wasn’t changed in any way, no .5mm extra thickness, no issues for either 2020 or 2021 MKB. The keys are recessed into the bottom portion of the keyboard, they never contact the screen. Only the new 12.9 iPP has the thicker build and closes a tiny bit snugger with a 2020 MKB, but still, other than one poster on these forums, no reported issues, and I’ve had none with my 2020 MKB. The 2021 MKB has a bit more clearance for the 12.9 so there is a bit more of a gap when the case is closed.cant remember if its been discussed recently or not but no scratches using this thing in transport mode with no screen protector right?
haven't attempted it yet but have the magic keyboard and 11"
