mCover for 13.5-inch Microsoft Surface Book 1 / 2 / 3 Computer

I had read some conflicting reviews on whether or not the case fit well - some people said the top didn't fit completely or that they couldn't charge with the cord above the laptop with the bottom part on - I found both of these to be incorrect, but I can see why people made these comments. I was hesitant on buying it because of these reviews (but there aren't many other options, honestly!) so I wanted to clear up any confusion. The bottom is very straight forward to install - you just slide it on - but the top takes some more finesse and effort. I tried sliding it on at first, but that didn't work well for me, so I resorted to popping it on. If you pop it on, as most people probably do, it will appear that one side fits perfectly and the other side does not, leaving a gap so that the case is not 'flush' with the laptop. This is not true, however. It is just that the case fits very snugly, so if you do not push the laptop into the case on the 'fitting' side as far up against the case as it will go, then the other side will not be able to fit in, if that makes sense. There are these little latches that are meant to latch onto the side by the screen - if they are getting stuck in the middle of the laptop and not going all the way down so they can latch onto the side by the screen, then you need push the other side of the case more until the other side is fit in as snugly as it goes. I gather some people took to sawing off the extra plastic bits after concluding they would not fit... this is not necessary! Also, you CAN charge from the top with the case - again, you just need to make sure the bottom of the case is pushed snugly in as far as it can go. If there is extra 'room' so to say, at the bottom by the touch pad (as in, space in between the laptop and the case), then you will not be able to charge from the top because the case is not on correctly and will get in the way of the charger. I took pictures to try to demonstrate the small latches on the side of the case that need to latch on by the front of the screen - if they are getting stuck in that black groove in the middle of the top of the laptop, then you need to make the other side of the case fit more snugly. Also, the pen attaches with the case on without issue. Altogether, good case for the price, and I expect it to protect well from scratches as well as making it easier to handle in tablet mode! I hope this is helpful for people who were uncertain about the case like me.

I have no reason not to give this item 5 stars. The mCover fits on my Microsoft Surface Book exactly as it should and I had no (none at all) trouble getting the cover installed. I read several reviews where the person said they had a very difficult time installing, so I was expecting the worst. The cover arrived as expected and it simply clicked onto the Surface Book. At the same time I ordered the the mCover, I ordered a dock for the Surface Book Microsoft Surface Dock (Compatible with Surface Book, Surface Pro 4, and Surface Pro 3) . I only mention this because for my current setup I use the display port on the Surface for an external monitor. The power connector on the dock needed to be routed towards the back of the surface so the cord does not cover the display port. The mCover has a clip to hold the bottom portion of the case onto the surface that was about 2 millimeters too long and kept the power connector from sitting flat. If you don't use the display port, this is not a problem. In my case, I simply used a file to "shave" down about 2mm off that clip so the power cord could face backwards and sit flush against the edge of the Surface. I don't see this as a design flaw as the normal Power Adapter that ships with the Surface fit just fine. If anything, Microsoft should not have put the display port so close to the power connector on the Surface. I am enclosing a picture of the modification for reference and how the power cord now fits flush.

I've owned my Surface Book for 3 years, and just discovered this product. I use it for real estate for daily work, and obtaining client signatures. This often means handing it to clients who may or may not handle it the way I do for signatures. I also use it for notes and measurements. This case prevents scratches, though I doubt it would do much if dropped. It's extremely useful when carrying the tablet portion. The case seems durable enough to prevent scratching while carrying. It doesn't cover the hinge, so you'll still need to mind that. The case clips into place well, and is a nice snug fit. I use multiple monitors with the surface dock at my office, and one display port at home. The back right clip just barely blocks the power cord from fitting perfectly when the cable faces to the back of the base. It must be used thus way to run the display port simultaneously. The dock plug sticks out a bit straighter, with more space from the body and does not have this problem. The factory charger is made to fit very close, and has to be played with a bit to ensure its actually charging as it's just a hair from inserting all the way into the port. It's close and can still work, but it's not perfect. The case has flip out feet to raise the back of the base to an angle - which I love. It's enough to be a nice addition. Unfortunately they feel like small thin plastic feet (which they are) so at times it feel like it's a hard push from breaking. With more than 2 months of daily use they are still working like day 1, so maybe it's in my head more than need be. In a nutshell, it's a nice fit and protects against scratches. It also adds nice rubber feet that hold better than factory while not making it much heavier or thicker. For the price it's a great buy and adds peace of mind.

not as expected

Though a bit expensive, looks are amazing with a hardness. Perfectly fits the surface book 2. I think this is the only & best option available currently. I would recommend this for sure.

Just got this today and it fits perfectly for my Surface Book 2. Seems to provide good shock protection, but I didn't want to test it out... :)

Very adjustive for the product surface book 3 13.5 inch, may be my selected color (blue) is not much good as Ads color

O produto é excelente. Atendeu a todas as minhas expectativas. Obrigado!
