I definitely agree that with the SP3 a case like the Freedom Case is less of a need, but I still like the wrap-around folio-type cover that it is, even if it didn't have the different angles of support. I'm imagining something that attaches at the stand, like the current Freedom Case, wraps around the top from back to front when the PC is not being used, and secures at the bottom, with a magnet securing it in place - perhaps a magnet that interacts with both the place where the new keyboard magnets work, and the keyboard magnets themselves, so that the case works with or without the keyboard. When in use, it flips back, hinging at the top of the PC, leaving the vent holes uncovered. Maybe there's a place where magnets can attach to the PC at the top, so that they hold the case in place, no need for any other attachments. The loose flap then has a hinge in the middle, where the PC's hinge is, so that you can adjust the PC's hinge at any angle, just like without the case.
I hereby claim patent on this idea. (wouldn't it be great if it were that easy?)
This is a bare bones soft case (sleeve) that holds the Surface Pro 3 with the keyboard very nicely. It has an external zippered pocked that I use for the pen but can be used for much more. It is just the right size, not like some others advertised for the Surface Pro 3 that are 3 inches to wide.
