A Little Poll: Are You A Power Cover Person??

[Nuspieds]

The Type Cover has these too?

Yes, Type Cover 1 had them, but with the TC2, the only volume button is the mute button.

$199 bucks is a little steep especially since I already bought a type cover 2. I can get a 26000mAh for 89 bucks on amazon:

Amazon.com: Intocircuit® Power Castle PC26000 26000mAh External Battery Pack/High Capacity Power Bank charger for Laptops, Notebooks, Netbooks, Tablets and Smart Phones. Compatible with HP, Dell, Toshiba, Acer, Samsung, Sony, Gateway Laptops; Google

You'll need to add the cost of an RT powerpak to cut the cable with the magnetic connector off to splice into the Power Castle power pack

Shows there's still stuff for me to learn! Actually that makes me glad I stuck to the original Type Cover as I use the up/down volume all the time I wonder why they changed it.

So that they could provide backlight control keys.

Which I'd say was a stupid move. Can't think of a time I wanted to turn off the backlight, and it always turns on when my fingers approach the keyboard. adjustment = useless

You all know that there are built-in volume buttons on the left side of the screen, right?

On the fence.

Pros:

More battery life
Better keyboard compared to the touch 2 cover

Cons:

Makes my small device very bulky
Not backlit
Expensive

My touch cover is SOOOO broken. I want to exchange it and they wont let me!
