does the portfolio cover come off from the case or is attatched for good

The portfolio cover is removable and it can be done so quite easily however when you remove the cover you should replace the rubber strip that originally filled the slot, so don't lose the strip.

The reviews were not great on the cover...but I figured what the heck and bought it anyway. My last cover had a stand so I could watch movies without holding the ipad and I didn't want to give that up. I have had mine for 2-months and its only come off once, when I dropped it in a weird way. I wish it was not an extra $40 or whatever, but I would not go without it.

It can come off. It is attached by removing one of the rubber tabs on the underside edge of the case and depressing the cover tab in its place.

It kind of slides in under the leather frame. It wouldn't be difficult to get it out but it wouldn't be super easy either. It's meant to stay in the case, and, since it provides protection, I can't imagine why you would need to remove it.

The black part on the bottom, you have to try really hard to get that off without breaking the case. When I tried, it broke a little. It's really hard, good luck

The case cover slides on using grooves and actually needs quite a bit of force to slide on. I don't think you will have an issue with the case cover sliding off accidentally. I also carry mine as external storage for my camera in my camera bag, no issues.

It is secured with Velcro also. I have had it for over a year and it has never come out or been a problem. Very well make case, and I would definitely recommend it.

You have to take the case off. At the bottom underneath there is Velcro you need to undo it. Honestly I would get a better case I purchased this and dropped my surface now my surface is shattered an Microsoft will not fix or replace it because there was a case on it an that voided the warranty so now I'm out $700.00

It's probably being held in place by the velcro strap to the left middle of the case. Lift up and pull gently on the strap to release the device.

The case sort of "snaps" on, no way it will fall off. It takes considerable thumb pressure at the corners to completely remove the case. The side that folds back, to form the stand, easily pop off, just not the other snaps.

The case is on very secure but I have not had the opportunity to take mine off. However, I have heard from other forums that you can use an old credit card or one of those savings keyring fobs and place it between the case and the computer and gently pry it off.

Sure.. The case comes off pretty easy. I don't know why most complain that it is hard to put on and take off... It's real simple. I have ordered 3 cases and I switch out just fine. Hope this helped on your decision!

I just checked my case and the clip does not come off. I hope this helps you out.

Yes case does have to come off. My wife uses it primarily for special occasions like weddings when she does not have a handbag so not a big deal for her.

My daughter has this case and she actually dropped her phone the other day and the case came off. I have not seen her try to take it off other than that but since it came off that easily I would have to say that maybe your case has some kind of a defect or something. Sorry wish I could help.

No, it hasn't come off. However, I've had to retire the phone as it was broken during some furniture moving. Drat. But I was really very well-pleased with it's appearance. It has a nice heft to it.

I've had no issue with my side button coming off when removing the case but I've only taken it off twice. I'd ask for a new one, doesnt seem normal.
