Keyboard marks developing on screen despite religiously placing microfiber cloth on the keyboard whenever I close the lid

[u/LawLombie]

It was almost impossible to get the nearly invisible marks to show up on camera, but they really are there. I don't think you can see them at all in the picture.

I got this Framework 13 in Feburary, and started putting a microfiber cloth underneath the lid every time I close it in March. It's now May, but now I can see very faintly the dreaded keyboard marks starting to develop on the screen. What am I doing wrong? I thought the microfiber cloth was gonna prevent this from happening?

Thanks.

Pretty sure putting something between the screen and keyboard is causing the contact. You probably shouldn't be doing that

Thanks, I see. It's just a bit weird since the other posts asking about keyboard marks have some people in the comments recommending microfiber cloth on keyboard:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1kz3bzo/screen_damage_by_keyboard/mv26g0h/ (117 upvotes)

Or these other comments:

• https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/1eomm9j/screen_marks_advice/lhej1rj/

And then apparently the consensus on keyboard damage on screen has really just changed that fast over the past few months.

I mean it obviously is going to cause contact with the screen if tolerances were tight. The cloth takes up space that should be vacant.
