I haven't noticed any scratches yet. I don't use the stylus much, but I tried to press it hard to test the different thickness it then produces.
I hope it is not supposed to cause any scratches without the protector.

But my Note does not go to sleep if the cover is folded back. Never happens.
Something different about my Note or its cover, perhaps the magnets are weaker.
I got it only recently, maybe they improved something.

So I got three screen protectors. I ordered one with the reader, just in case. I got a red message that it was the last one in stock. But somehow they sent me two instead of one, and yet another one was included with the reader itself - I haven't seen mentioned anywhere that the screen protector is included. It was in the box of the reader itself, without the sleeve like the separate ones. That included screen protector - perhaps it is a hint that it should be used? Perhaps they began including it with the reader when they saw that the screen gets frequently scratched without it?

As to how to attach it, there is something written in the product description:

Some installation tips :
- It's very important to install in a dust-free environment to avoid particles between your screen protector and screen.
- Thoroughly clean your screen.
- Use the dust-absorber to adsorb dusts in the screen. - Peel a small piece of the layer labeled "1" and adjust it carefully at the screen.
- in order to avoid air bubbles flatten the attached part of the protector slowly at the screen surface.
