So, I'm wondering if anyone else is having the problems I am with touch covers.
My understanding is that the following should be true:
Attach touch cover, put stand out, put on desk, give it a couple of seconds and keyboard will work.
Close touch cover, screen will go off
Open touch cover, keyboard will work
Flip touch cover round the back, keyboard will be disabled
Flip touch cover back round, keyboard will work
None of the above works reliably on mine. Sometimes I'll have to flip the cover around several times, turn the screen on and off with the power button or remove/reattach the cover a few times. It will then work for a while. It does however very rarely turn the screen off when i close it.
I've had the touch cover replaced by MS to no avail.
Is this a wide spread issue (ie the software is ****e), I haven't read anyone else saying this... or is something wrong with my Surface :-(
