Will this enable the surface to act like a laptop - without the kickstand? If not is there a cover or keyboard replacement that can be used this way?

If you use this keyboard and an Epic Gadget case, then you can have the tablet upright with the keyboard attached. But please remember the Surface is a great tablet, but not the same as a laptop. For example, to run Microsoft office, you have to go to the new Surface Pro. (I think it's a 3). And they are pricy and still not as full featured as a laptop. For the same money as a Surface Pro, you can buy a laptop.

In part, yes. It doesn't fully become a laptop for two reasons. The first one is the size. The keys aren't very big and a little to near together for those with larger fingers, and the touchpad is ridiculously small. The touchpad isn't much of a problem, because you will probably prefer to use the touch screen. Even on desktop Windows mode (more laptop-like than tablet-like) I usually prefer to use the pen to touch small buttons. The second problem is the kickstand. There is nothing to hold the screen and the keyboard in a fixed angle (it is securely attached, but it can easily be folded to the back of the tablet), which means you have to use the tablet's kickstand to keep it in a fixed angle. This is actually better than a touch enabled laptop when you're on a table (the kickstand prevents the screen from wobbling like in other laptops), but it is uncomfortable in your lap.

By Surface - are you referring to the screen, the cover or the key board? You would have to check the documentation associated with a Pro 3. I do not know if the protection plan is a Boiler Plate - or customized for each type of computer. I am sorry I can not help you.

the kick stand with keyboard that i reviewed comes with a standard usb connection...the tablet came with an accessory that took the kickstand connection with the standard usb port to a smaller usb port on the tablet..was a hassle because extra attachment did not fit in the kickstand..mine eventually broke. hope that helps.?

Not at all. I have this cover on my Surface Pro 2 and all functions work perfectly. I have the keyboard attached all the time and the Velcro allows for infinite positioning of the screen. A great product that I highly recommend.

Yes, most likely. It's not really a "keyboard" but a touch key pad without "keys" protruding from the surface.

Yes of course. There is a cover for the front used as stand to and the keyboard detached from the tablet and cover.

There isn't actually a stand. There's a flap that covers the keyboard, and it folds into a sort of wedge shape that supports the tablet. You could fold that cover flat behind the keyboard, but there isn't really a way to detach it.

The Surface will fit fine in this case, with or without the keyboard. It will not handle the AC adapter and charger. I have a Surface Pro 2 128GB and it fits "snug" inside with the keyboard.

It's sold separately. The Microsoft website has some keyboards for the Surface for about $80.. or they did last time I checked.

I had to adjust the opening for the charger, it isn't long enough to allow the connector to lie flat on the tablet. My husband just removed the material at that end. Beyond that, I can access everything and the tablet is very secure in the case. I really like the cover. The keyboard could be a little better quality, but I'm not displeased in any way. It works well and is easily removed when I don't need it. I bought my Surface for grad school and the cover and keyboard are super for that.

True! The cover interferes with the internal magnets of the surface and the type cover. This means that when it is attached the surface cannot be used for inclined typing. WHY ARE NO REVIEWERS SEEING THIS?

I'm afraid that I can't help you with that answer. I, myself have been trying to get an answer. When the new tablets were first being introduced there was a keyboard/cover being marketed, but try as I may, I have not been able to run it down, not even from Toshiba Direct.

Robin -- With the keyboard attached there is a snap closure; without it, nothing keeps it closed other than the cover's weight. I have not found this to be a problem using my Asus tablet only. --- John

The Standing Fit doesn't include a keyboard - you put your own keyboard (or in my case laptop) on it. Its very stable as long as the object you put on it fits on it. sometimes I have my laptop going adn a note pad next to it to write notes on other times I may have my phone on it. stability hasn't been an issue.

The tablet stands up in a slot on the keyboard, making it look like a netbook. Also acts as a protective cover for the tablet by way of magnets that hold the two together. Wouldn't have the tablet without one.

I don't think it will hold up well. I am not happy with how it stays on my Surface at all. I blame the design and the kickstand because it doesn't make it easy for a case to stay on. It seems to be flimsy because of what little area it has to hold onto the Surface. I took mine off after a few days and hoped to return it to Amazon.

Yes, Micosoft Touch Cover 2 is a keyboard and cover for the surface 2. It also has a stand that can be pulled out to hold up the screen.
