Hey, just got my SP a couple of days ago (and I love it
).
Heard mostly good things about this case but on
amazon one review mentioned that it was getting hot and the fans ran non stop. So I wondered: Is the "fanslit" covered by the case?
Does anybody experience problems like that?
"I decided to buy this product after reading good reviews. I'll have to say, I have no idea what these people are talking about. Here are some of the reasons why I'm returning the case: 1. The windows touch key on the bottom cannot be accessed. I have to wriggle my finger around the touch key or press real hard between case and windows touch key to make it work. Even doing this it does not work all the time. Very frustrating. 2. When a video is in the full screen mode, you can not get to controls on the bottom of the screen because of the case. You have to use the stylus pen if you want to do anything.. Not Good. 3. I've never seen my surface pro fan going so loud nonstop while it was in the case. It was very loud. I was just browsing the internet. As soon as I took the surface pro out of the case...fan stopped within a minute... it was very hot...almost too hot to touch. I wonder if these are valid reviews left by actual users of the case. Finally I would be very concerned to use this case for many days and many hours at a time knowing how hot it got using it for just 30 minutes or so."
Edit:
Just found more, which makes me even more skeptical:
"This cover will make your surface pro hot like hell since it block the main fan of you device!! Your surface pro will be burned!! For the good of your surface pro, DON'T BUY IT!!!"
"This is actually fits the Pro version very well. The PU leather is very soft and easy to hold. My only complaint is that there is no ventilation at the top where the pen is held.
I cut a small slant and that actually help with cooling the surface. Also maybe the case need more velcro at the bottom to hold the surface in place." <-- This might work..
"...
2. the vents on the Surface Pro are at the top and the cover doesn't allow proper venting. This can cause the device to get pretty hot during intense CPU usage.
..."
"...
Finally the venting at the top of the Surface is almost completely covered and I found it got hot in some circumstances that did not occur with the Moko case.
...
So my recommendations to make the case better:
Strengthen the front flap at least to make a better resting surface in your lap for instance
Add some perforations to the material along the top of the Surface
..."
Thought you guys might be interested.
