Wondering what the point of this is? Seems to just add some bulk to the SP. I'm going with ghost armor for protection as opposed to a bulky cover. That's what i like about the Surface it is fully functional without the need for a bulk keyboard\cover
The purpose of it is:
1) Good luck with the Ghost Armor first time your drop your SP.
2) Unless you are under 5'10" you will enjoy the additional kickstand angles it provides.
3) It has a pen holder that actually works.
As far as "bounciness", it depends on how shallow of an angle you like to have your SP. If you want to have it super shallow, yeah it will bounce a little. If you want it at a more normal angle the bounce is minimal. You can do like I did and place an
adhesive felt pad on the back of your keyboard and it doesn't bounce at all no matter what. These pads can be bought at Lowes for $4 for a two pack. They hold nicely but come off easily and leave no damage. Of course if you are looking to go naked this wouldn't be the optimal solution, but if you are casing it, doesn't matter and it works very well.
(This also serves to protect the back of your keyboard from whatever funk might be on the table you are typing on.)
Bottom line everyone likes something different. If you are like me and don't want to play drop roulette with your $1000 device and you want extra viewing angles, it's the best case you can get.
