Hi all,

New framework 13 owner here. I want to take care of my new laptop and was wondering if a microfiber cloth over the keyboard was recommended when traveling. I know on the macbook a cloth can damage the screen because of tight tolerances. Is it safe to use a cloth like this on the framework 13?

A microfiber cloth can be used to help prevent the screen from being damaged when something heavy is placed upon. The microfiber cloth prevents the keyboard keys from hitting the screen.

Gotcha, just wanted to make sure it wouldn’t put too much stress on the screen/hinges.

Thanks!

I’m worried about scratches on the screen or oils from my fingers wearing the screen down.

I also use sunscreen daily and if that somehow transfers from the keyboard to the screen I’d imagine that might dissolve the screen a bit.

I use a hard shell canvas case for it that I keep inside my backpack when moving. My backpack actually has a built in sleeve but it’s very large, so I slide the whole case into the sleeve.
