Can you use the "kickstand" with this case?

No, this is a great case but you cannot use the kickstand or keyboard with it. The ports are all use-able with it however.

Nope, or the keyboard. I like the idea of the case, and it works well, but the surface is really too heavy to hold up with one hand for long periods. I had an iPad with the same case and it was great, but not for the surface. I'll also add that it's a chore to get in and out of the case so being able to switch back and forth is not a realistic option either. Hope this helps.

nope, the cover makes the kickstand non functional... the case is nice though

You can but it will make your screen less sensitive and not sure if it's worth that added frustration. The case is actually not big if you take off the removable stand/front cover. Why do you need/plan to take it out of the case?

You could in theory use it without the kickstand, but the TPU isn't completely stand-alone and there are areas on the back that are only covered by the kickstand part. I don't think its really designed to separate easily either, so I doubt you'd be taking it on and off as it is a bit of a hassle to do so. I have always used it as a single unit, and it would feel odd to take it apart except to clean it or something.

Hi Mike, There is no kickstand with this case. You can pop-put the back to attach a belt clip, but that's it.

Yes you can. That's one of the great things about this case. I highly recommend it

Yes, occasionally when my kickstand would loosen due to vibration and slide forward. However, replacing it with longer bolts with nuts to secure the kickstand and by positioning the kickstand the furtherest back on the frame has resolved the problem.

Yes. Fits great. However...I open the kickstand like 50 times a day because I put my finger through it to hold it and text faster with one hand. Because of that the kickstand breaks like after a month or two. So since they are only $4, I order like 6 of them to last a year. But definitely order a few...they're inexpensive.

The one we have makes the kickstand inaccessible. ..and the case doesn't come with a kickstand

Had mine for awhile and so far no issues but to be honest I don't use the kickstand all the time.

Yes, only thing on the Surface I can not access is the kickstand but the case provides a substitute kickstand.

yes you can, this case is great. Sturdy, very functional. I have the black and it looks decent too.

I hold mine from the top corner or when typing hold it with both hands on the bottom corners and type with my thumbs but you could snap it in the cover and hold onto the kickstand .

No, it's got a really good feel to it.The only complaint that I have is that the kickstand is a bit flimsy and after a while doesn't lock into place very well when it is closed.Besides that, it's a very good and nice looking case.

You are correct. In the photo shown, the stand appears to be closer to the center of the phone which I would think might allow it to stand horizontally. My kickstand is much lower and only allows the phone to stand vertically

its a great case, yes it has port covers on the headphone jack and the charging area, but sadly no the holster wont double up as a kickstand... sorry dude, but its a wonderful case i fully recommend this case anyday!!!

Sure. I just use it as a protective cover when I drop the phone. I have never used the kickstand.

Yes. And its a pretty decent case. Though i have to say, the kickstand is almost impossible to open. You'll need something like a key. Other than that. It does the job and fits perfectly.
