Does this unit come with a cover/case. or will I need to purchase one separately? Also - why the y-cable...does it require 2 USB ports to work?

This monitor doesn't require a case, it comes with a hard plastic cover that seems to work really well (I've had mine for a couple months now, no issues). It doesn't require the Y cable; it works just fine with the single for me, but says to use if you don't have enough power through one USB connection. Hope this helps, very satisfied with my purchase.

Works on a single one USB Port for me. Also, the stand is the cover for the screen. That is it slides over the screen for storage in my laptop bag. Just two pieces in my bag--the screen/cover combo and the USB cable. If in doubt, purchase from someone with great return policy. Also, check the lenovo website. I recall it giving me more detail.

It has a cover, also serves as base stand. No need to buy anything else. Dual USB is not needed on my dell xps, only. Needs one port. but can't say for other laptops.

The package comes with a hard cover. Some laptops would work with one USB, the y-cable is optional for two USB powered machines.

Comes wih a cover case that's legit ad all you need. Depending on what kind of computer you have, I have a MacBook Pro, determines whether or not you'll have to use both USB ports. I only need to use one and I know that's the case for the majority of brands out there. In my opinion, it's the best quality and design for what you're paying for.

yes, it comes with a hard cover that the unit slides into. Very thin, light, and yet durable. The reason it comes with a y-cable is that some USB ports in portable laptops/ultra books are not powerful enough on their own to power this unit. This is the case with my ultra book. however, in reading some of the other reviews, it is clear that some portable computers can power this unit with only one USB port. if you only have one usb port on your computer, you would be taking a risk that it produces enough power to power up the second screen without using a powered usb port.

The monitor I purchased came with a stand/case that the monitor slides into when not in use. The Y Cable is, as I understand it, in the event a single USB port on the computer being used is not powerful enough to power the monitor. I am using the monitor with a Samsung ATIV 700T and am using 1 USB port.

It does not come with a case. I have not tried to use it without its' plug, so I cannot answer. I assume not.

No it does not come with a case. Its up to you if you buy it - BUT I returned two of these units they are not good, one over heated, the other died within hours loss of data - control card failed!

Oh, wait. I'm sorry, I'm thinking about a self-release cable. Duh. Yes, mine came with a USB cable. A VERY short one.

It comes with a power cable, yes. USB. Doesn't have to be plugged in to use. Just warning you mine stopped working after 6 months. Gonna try to mail it in for replacement. Turns on, but the blutooth stopped connecting to any of my devices.

Included is a male and female USB plug that you can plug into the side for whichever you need for your device. The port is not built in, you have to carry along the USB plugs.

So what comes in the box? Is it just the device, or does it come with a cheapo "starter" cover, too? I'm sure "aftermarket" covers would be better, but I was just curious - One of the customer provided images shows the nook color in a case and I was wondering if it comes with it.

This comes with a USB 3 Cable. I've enjoyed it so far (but using it on a USB 2 port, I bought a USB 3 device to futureproof.)

You can buy from Apricorn, $10 plus tax & shipping. You can also use a Y splitter USB cable. I had an older one for their EZ GigII that I had forgotten I had bought, so ordered the Y cable--which can also be used for other devices. So I have both, and ended up using the power supply. My problem is that I have a Dell laptop, and Apricorn software did not do an exact clone, leaving out the Dell partition, thus the resultant drive would not boot, missing the boot sector. Ended up using EaseUS, after trying WD Acronis and Partition Wizard, without success. So the Apricorn ended up just being an expensive enclosure.

There are "Y" cables available through VLEDS and other places. Possibly on Feebay. If you can solder and heatshrink, you can save there too.

Mine came with the Bluetooth keyboard, which made a hard case for storage when you put the two together; and a screen cover. I did buy an external case later. Does this help?

All it has is two protective cases and drive dock only. Be aware this device is only for the laptop drives, not the standard 2.5" drives.

Yes, there are two rubber covers. One cover is shared between the hdmi and usb port. The other cover is dedicated to the headphone port.

It wasn't with mine, with a protective cover, as advertised with the adapter plate, there was no adapter plate and no USB ports as advertised or shown in the pictures. I returned the one I ordered for a refund.

I have a cover that I bought off amazon. Just make sure it fits a small usb and not big one. I had to buy and additional adaptor to fit both the tablet and cover. The cover was only $10 but since it came from china it took longer than the tablet to get to me. All is good now though.

No it doesn't come with a usb cable. Didn't bother me cause I have several extras.
