Yes, the small rubber feet are loose before in the delivery, but for me anyway is what on the table, so no problem for me. The pad is quite large compared to the 13-inch notebook, but can also be perfectly used for the iPad with cover, since it is thus even better read. Or alternatively, for books or my learning materials to make comments. And what I really like a rubberized strip on the inside of the bottom edge, ie where the notebook initiates. So a good protection without there which can scratch. The "Carbon surface" is only slightly sensitive to scratches, but that does not bother me now really, because I bought the base of practical and not for aesthetic reasons.
