He says right in the review that he can hear dust and grit getting trapped. It's not the pencil doing it, but the dust itself. This cannot be helped, and would be a problem with or without the pencil.
Yeah I have some micro scratches on my pro. I can't see them unless I tilt it into the glare of light. Nor can I feel them with my pencil, so I'm not worried.
Tried a couple screen protectors and they all lower the screen quality a bit, make touch less sensitive, and raise the parallax a bit. I took them all off.

It has nothing to do with the hardness of the pencil, its there would be no avoiding it if you have dust or dirt between the pencil tip and the screen. You can do the same with your finger and dirt.
i dont think there is tech out there yet that is scratch proof. even my cintiq 27" ended up with a little scratch. and who cares if you cant ever see them or if they dont effect usability?
i dont like screen protectors. tried them no thanks.

Same here have a iPhone and an iPad never ever used and not even planning to use any screen protectors on them. What is the Gorilla Glass sitting there for ? Having said that I do take care of my devices though not use them harshly !
Because some of us think that's a waste. Why protect everything and for what reason? I want to use my device as intended without more plastic or glass on it. I don't live in a bubble. If I get a few scratches, so be it.
FYI - I have the 12.9 IPP and Pencil. I don't have any scratches. Also, if anyone is worried about the Pencil scratching your screen, your finger can do the same thing. Once fine particle of dust between your tip and the screen and you have a scratch. It's live. Stop living in fear. It's just an iPad.

Well it's an iPad worth 1000+ with the accessories...
You drive a car worth 15 times that. Pretty sure it has scratches too. What's your point?
We do not know for sure that the Apple Pencil scratched the screen. The OP is just thinking it did.
We do know for sure that the pencil itself didn't scratch the screen. The tip would have to be made out of something harder than gorilla glass. That's just not how it works.
a tempered glass screen protector has saved my iphone6+ before.. Fell screen first onto gravel and the protector shattered.. If that'd directly hit the screen I'm sure it wouldn't have got out of it unmarked!
I'm slightly concerned about parallax with a similar cover on the iPp but I'm used to cintiq levels of parallax and don't have problems.. Worried it could greatly increase glare though?

its like you want to wash your dusty car with a microfibre brush...the dust between the 1.000$ or 1.000.000$ car and your microfibre will make the paint scratch. so if you know you will be using intense your apple pencil, better clean your ipad screen and your apple pencil
