It seems like it takes up just as much space as phyiscal, but requires covering the screen, like the software KB does.

The wall thickness of the silicone keys is half the thickness of a credit card, and it is flexible so it can fold with the iPad's cover. And you can quickly retract it off the screen when you want to do non-typing tasks. There are magnets in all four corners which snap it into the retracted position. Take a look at the iPad 1 video on the Kickstarter site. That shows retraction in use...
