| rocketpig said: The touch cover doesn't look like it can roll underneath the kickstand, meaning you have to remove the keyboard to use the kickstand if you're working in a confined space and don't need the keyboard. That's hardly an optimal solution. Blending the touch cover and the iPad smart cover would be a perfect solution (if it's possible to do). We'll have to disagree on the kickstand. I'd rather have one that is smaller and is able to work with the touch cover without having to remove it. |
Look at this side image. The kickstand closes completely flat into the back, it creates zero interference with the rest of the device. See the bendable areas of the touch cover just after it connects to the bottom of the tablet. I'm betting that is for it to fold backwards around the back of the device. Additionally, it is connected by magnetic hold with fully centered pogo style pins. It can probably be turned around without any issue.
I am fairly confident that MS designed this with the iPad cover in mind and therefore it has the same features plus more; i.e. the full keyboard and touchpad.
