Why isn't the keyboard material stated upfront clear view!is this fake with rubbery silicone?

I don't think it is rubbery silicone, it is more like cheap plastic, very thin. I returned mine, only worked for a couple weeks- You get what you pay for, I would advise paying more and getting a quality one. I got a Belkin and love it.

I use the ZAGG Smudge Proof InvisibleSheild, and the one I use did tear when I attached the keyboard - there is what looks like a sharp square hinge right in the middle of where the iPad inserts onto the keyboard. One might be able to avoid it, but I wasn't able to. I should mention, even with the tear I still love using this keyboard.

They are harder plastic. Definitely not silicone. I think the keyboard has a nice feel.

I'm holding the original keyboard right next to the replacement, which I've already installed. The keyboards are identical. Matte keys, look painted, when I run my finger over the letter, I can detect a faint texture, just like on the original. Frame between the keys is glossy.

I'm not sure about that, but I really didn't like the keyboard and I stopped using it. One hopes it will be like a "real" keyboard - but it really isn't. I got a bluetooth keyboard and it feels like the real thing and works great.

It is like a laptop keyboard, not silicone. It doesn't scratch the screen, the border of the case that surrounds the screen makes it so the keys don't rest directly on the screen.

The surface (other than the sides) are matted, so finger prints don't really show up well. Upon inspecting it right now after using it for a few months I can smudges and a bit of dirt but thats really my fault more then the keyboard >.>As to it scratching, I've not noticed anything of the sort and the lighting is pretty awesome.Negatives: Dont get this to write any papers from the get go. It often has issues creating capitol letters, and it takes an unusually long time to break in the keys. Aside from the function of the keyboard, if you buy this particular item then you will need to semi permanently leave your left pinky in the space between the "M" keys and the left shift.

Yes it is, just be sure to get the correct keyboard lay out; tact is fine and does not get that "oily" feeling.

No, this keyboard is not sealed silicone. Crumbs and stuff can fall between the keys.

The angle that is used for the keyboard is perfect. It's just like when I'm using a laptop. It's not too far back or close up.The angle is probably 180° obtuse. I hope I answered your question.

Yes, it's completely clear! I also owned a rubberized one from Speck and that stuff was peeling off. Answering for Tim, he bought it for me :).

Frances,I'm glad you reported this. I watched the demo video on Ergotron's website and noticed the platform on which the keyboard rests does not provide the same level of solid surface area a regular desktop does. I would consider myself someone who types with normal pressure but any movement of the keyboard would take some adjustment.

Keyboard is made of ABS material. I put a screen protector on, but I am sure it could based on usage.

Yes. The one that I got was Matte anyway. The keys have a bit of gloss to them from use over the past year, but the main keyboard body is Matte & has stayed that way.

There is a sensor looking like a camera labeled "Color by Pantone" on the lower end of the keyboard. I have not used it, but I assume that this is it.

It is not a silicone keyboard. The keys are comparable to a regular keyboard. It keeps charge for q long time and easy to connect

Hi Kim, If you can Zoom out the picture, you can see the Esc key where it is expected to be. I cannot look at the keyboard since I had bought it as a gift for someone else. Hope this helps.
