What protects the back of the ipad from getting scratched?

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.

this case when closed presents two aluminum surfaces to the outside. nothing protects either one except for the very nature of an aluminum finish itself - which does not easily scratch, and the finish itself hides blemishes well. But this keyboard is not an enclosure. It protects the screen, but not the back.

Nothing. I bought a protective sticker that covers the back.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GOJSFQC

It covers the whole ipad. The front protects it and flips open like a book & your ipad will "wake up" once it opens. The back is like a hard protective shell & the front is just a tad thinner so it can bend into the positions you want to hold your ipad in. Hope this helps!

Believe it or not (for I can be a clumsy person) I have yet to drop my iPad mini. With that said, I know the leather back protects the back of the ipad from scratches and damage (from table-height I'm guessing) and as long as the cover is flipped closed over the front then the glass is also protected. However, I'm not willing to bet on the magnetic cover to stay closed under all circumstances, so if you're more worried about dropping it often I would suggest something else.

You can use Luvvitt silverback protective skin for the Ipad (it's a different product). Luvvitt® SILVERBACK (TM) Protective Back Skin for the new iPad 4 / iPad 3 / iPad 2 - Compatible with Smart Cover - Aluminum Color

It forms a clam shell, making your iPad look like a netbook. Thus, it protects the screen, but not the back of the iPad. I have a skin on the back of my iPad Air, which I had to make some minor trims to to fit around the hinge.

I haven't had any scratching. For my use it protects the iPad quite adequately, however, I am a very careful and gentle user for the most part, so can't speak to rougher use. I like this keyboard very much and would highly recommend it.

Yes to scratches on the back and sides, as well as the screen, if the cover is closed (I would also recommend a screen protector - I have the ZAGG InvisibleSHIELD).Good for small falls (1-3ft), but if you're looking for something that can withstand regular falls or ones that may occur in outdoor environments regularly, I'd recommend the LifeProof case.

The iPad is covered by the cover connected to the keypad. I would say it is limited protection since it is only a thin layer of plastic and not something that would sustain a fall.

I have both and it works fine. I do recommend putting a couple layers of paper towels, some sort of cloth or thin cardboard between the iPad and the case. The round, gray plastic disc is exposed on the inside of the case and there is potential for the movement to scratch your iPad. Enjoy!

I was very concerned by this, too. There is a tiny bit of padding where the iPad connects, therefore if you are careful, it will not scratch.

a smart phone, a phablet or a tablet. something with a touch screen. If it has Gorilla glass, it won't scratch easily.

get a speck case. i know from experience that they do their job for mobile devices. although they do scratch easy they will protect your investment.

Not really. The screen protects it from scratches and whatnot. My iPad2 had a broken screen as well and i had to fix it first

no, its a smooth plastic. the back cover tightly hugs the back of the ipad, which helps keep the entire unit compact.

It just covers the back it's made of plastic a better one is either vinyl or leather it covers the entire iPad and protects it from drops

It's like a soft fabric, that won't scratch the screen or anything. I still put a screen protector on my ipad though.

Neither. It only covers the back of the iPad. It has a slight raised lip around the edgs that helps prevent scratches so that if the iPad is placed (or dropped) screen down on a flat surface, the screen isn't touching that surface.
