    i remember someone here saying i should keep a cloth between my keyboard and screen when closed so it wont scratch since its so thin of a gap... so i do keep the paper that shipped with it in between there...

    my keyboard is slightly raised by f2 button and around it... i saw another fz and it wasnt raised there..but it was raised near the f5 instead...

    either way... is there a risk of it getting damaged? has anyone noticed any damage to their screens? i carry my laptop around a lot and im scared the keys are gonna damage the screen...

    how can i test this to see if its touching? put tape on a key and if it sticks to the screen its bad? i dont know..

    i have some minor scratches on my screen of my tx (which is basically the same design) from the previous owner carrying the laptop around in a book bag, and the pressure put on the lid. i always carry laptops with a microfiber cloth between the screen and the keyboard.

    you can hold the laptop up to the light, looking between the lcd and body with the lid closed. i can see a gap, but when you press on the top of the screen, there is enough flex in the screen that the lcd touches the keyboard.
