Does it cause the Surface Pro to overheat more than it already does?

Well Benji A. Aspherheim it does a little bit more than without the case but that is because all the heat is trapped and can not get out but i do recommend that you give it a space or room to let all the hot heat escape. I hope that answers your question. :)

I don't know about the Surface Pro. In my review, I explained that I was using the Surface RT, not the Pro. My experience with the RT is that I notice some heat but it occurs sporadically, similar to how my Windows laptop might operate. I don't believe it's related to the memory card.

It should not overheat that much. If you are watching ripped videos direct from the SSD, the battery should last you I'm guessing 5-6 hours... maybe a bit less... Apple rates the battery at 8 hours, but I've never run my to being completely depleted nor was I timing it. I've had it last over 4 and I'm pretty sure over 5 hours while suspending and starting (shutting and reopening) for brief periods while running multiple apps, Outlook, Excel, Word, Chrome with 15+ tabs open, and probably at least another 10+ utility type apps (1Password, Forklift, Evernote, Messages, Lync, and some system bar apps). Of course keeping the background apps to a minimum while watching videos would probably help some too, but it should last longer than your Toshiba by far...

nope, it hasn't for me. idk how those things those people complained about are even possible lol i've never had it over heat on me (that would seem like a device issue, not a case issue) and i've been able to take hundreds of pictures.. with out any probems!!

I don't think so. The pro is a little thicker than the RT & Surface 2. Also, some of the ports are different.

Sorry, can't say. Never used Surface Pro. Pen does great on Photoshop and Xara if it helps.

Like most MacBooks, or laptops for that matter, if you are doing multiple tasks (ex: multiple tabs open, memory-intensive programs, programs that use the graphics card heavily, etc.), the device will inevitably heat up. That being said, I don't find it any different from other laptops. As for the battery life, again it depends on what tasks you are doing with your MacBook Pro or Air. Connecting Bluetooth devices such as a wireless mouse or keyboard, connecting to multiple screens, playing a graphically intensive video game...these and more will adversely affect battery life. So far for me, the battery life on my MacBook Pro has been on par with what the manufacturer says, from 6-7 hours unplugged.

When you attach the keyboard to the Surface Pro 2, can you flip it and the cover behind the Pro to use it in tablet mode? Or will the keyboard pop off?

Yep, mine has been overheating also. I thought it was the keyboard cover that came with it, but after throwing that away, my computer has still been seizing up so I just took the cover off today and hope I'll have no more problems.

For me the surface was a little slow, then I went into my app store and marked the apps I used the most as the only ones to update. After that it got back to normal speed. I found out that in some cases if it has too much to update it can cause it to run slow. I hope that helps.

Honestly I have not noticed, my Mac never seems to over heat. No matter how long or how much work I performUsing it. I believe the construction of the case still somehow allows sufficient air flow. However if it is a concern for you, perhaps search for another case, but from my experience I have had no problem or complaints with it!

It might be your device doing it, extreme temps will sometimes cause issues with capacitive touch.

I looked up the dimensions and yes it should fit the Surface 2 pro (without the keyboard of course). However, I can't confirm that beyond just looking up specs because because I unfortunately don't own a Surface 2 (my wife regretfully gifted us towards Apple). According to my experiences with my iPad, iPad 3, and iPad Air, we have experienced no overheating issues at all. In fact it's been quite the opposite. With that, keep in mind that when we use it we are in a hot tub (gave submerged and floated it many times) but the weather here in Washington is cold and counteracts the heat of the hot tub a bit. Back on the sizing issue for a second- the case comes with these bumpers, that are too easily removed (read my review of the case), but allow you to use the case with different sizes. Although the bumpers didn't help me fit the new iPad Air, I was able to use some foam from my wife's jewelry boxes and use it to fit my iPad Air in the case perfectly (just don't tell her where the foam came from). My little foam fix took me all of two minutes and works perfectly. I couldn't be happier with this case. I wish you the best of luck and God Bless DrPhdd -Jeremy

No it does not I used my surface in a training class that lasted 6 hours and I did not have a heating issue

We have not had any issues with the tablet overheating. There are quite a few openings so I guess this helps with ventilation.

Have not had a problem with the heat, but I will say that surface is not the best to the laptop because it is not sticky, wood like surface is a bit slippery.

No overheating problems with Samsung Tab 2 7". I use it outside on very snowy, wet days for hours at a time.

I have had no problems whatsoever. I have had it for over a year now (I think). The battery does get warm so I try to put it in a well ventilated place to let the air cool it as much as possible. This happens whether my computer is on for 1 hour or 10 hours - I do not leave my computer in sleep mode.
