Questions about Surface 3

Hello,

I just bought a Surface 3 128/4 model. Here are some questions that I have:

1. Are there any cases that you all would recommend?

2. When using a case, will there be any overheating issues since there are no fans or vents?

3. Is the Surface 3 just like a "regular" tablet? What I mean is I am coming from a Sony Xperia Z2 tablet and I had a case on it from the beginning and never had any problems with it.

4. Can I use a USB Ethernet hub for internet connection?

5. Can I use the micro-USB port for file transfers, or is it strictly for charging?

6. Can I use any ol' Bluetooth keyboard, if I wanted to use a keyboard?

I am sure I had more questions, but I forgot. I am sure they will come to me after I post this lol.

Thank you in advance for any and all help!
