Microsoft Surface Tablet: 8 Things to Know

5. The Touchy Touch Cover Keyboard

The two add-on’s with the Surface are the two types of cover and keyboard attachments known as Touch cover and Type Cover. These covers get attached to the tablet with the magnet at the edge of the tablet. The cover and the keyboard double up as protection screens as well. When the keyboard is flipped back it automatically shuts off.

Typing on a tablet screen can get annoying after some time, that’s when the keyboard takes over. One more cool and wacky feature is that depending on the color of Touch Cover connected to the tablet, the color of the background screen in the Metro UI changes.
