Half Too Much - Computers and Accessories

ProsFits Pro 2 Light weight Cons Difficult to put on and take off Transparent color is actually matte Only two pads on the bottom are non-slip Fits Pro 2 which is good. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit into tablet mode with both pieces attached (as others have pointed out). It's great if you only use the bottom half. Too bad it is not possible to buy only the lower part at a reduced price. (The ability to cover the keyboard was the most appealing feature of this case for me.) I plan on traveling with the Pro 2 so I'm still debating whether or not to keep the case. It would be good for scuffs and scratches, but nothing more. Putting on and taking off both covers feels tedious. It can even make you more likely to drop the book. If you primarily use the Pro 2 in laptop mode, removing the lid won't be a problem. I bought the clear one thinking it was actually clear and not translucent. I wanted something that wasn't covered in ice. Also, as others have noted, only two pads are non-slip. It's annoying when you're used to all 4 pads not slipping. I use the book on all kinds of surfaces and sometimes only have 3 points of contact, so it's important that all 4 pads are non-slip for maximum safety.
