But the quality is great.

There are three concerns: First, it is recommended that you remove the existing screen protector to avoid putting undue pressure on the screen where the hinges pinch the iPad. It makes sense, but now I have to let go of the texture I liked: the screen protector that let my fingers glide effortlessly across the tablet's surface; the "natural" texture isn't nearly as smooth, which is why I'm not thrilled with the au naturale texture. Second, the iPad sits so low on the hinges that I can't swipe up to close the screen or the app. bottom - I have to pull the iPad out at least 4mm to do this, but that also means the top of the iPad now extends 4mm beyond the edge of the keyboard; The bar will surely get damaged somehow. Third, the keyboard has two rubber bumpers that prevent the iPad screen from being damaged when it rests on the keyboard keys. In my experience with MacBooks, these protrusions scratch the screen with repeated opening and closing, so I'm wondering now that I don't have a screen protector, this will happen too. I used to have a Logitech Slim Portfolio cover and it didn't get wobbly because the E and L keys kept peeling off, I'd keep it; Due to Logitech's poor customer service in resolving this issue, I decided to try the Brydge keyboard. However, I have my doubts about keeping it, especially given the issue of the rim being too low. I suppose I could use keyboard shortcuts to close active apps, but I wouldn't need to change my behavior due to a design flaw.
