This cover is very good, well padded plush without it. My surface 2 comes very well in it, whether alone or with type 2 cover, for against the cover must be forced on the closing .. So I prefer not to close it and since I always carry in my bag this cover it not a problem for me! The small pouch does not serve me because I'd be afraid to force the tablet, but again this is not a problem for my use. So I am very happy with this cover and I recommend it, but maybe to those who slip in the bag to transport ..
