How bulky is the power cover?

[macmee]

My Touch cover 2 is so broken. Is the power cover very thick and heavy?

Imagine clipping a Surface 2 to your Pro... same weight and almost the same thickness....

Excellent comparison, thank you!

From the reviews I've read, it adds enough heft to negate the whole compact-tablet theory. The general consensus seems to be if you have 1st-gen Surface, especially Pro, it's worth the extra weight to gain acceptable battery life. 2nd-gen, not so much.
