Oh, and for you folks that miss it, the case brings back a dedicated UHS-II SD 4.0 Micro SD card reader. There’s been an HDMI port on the right side of the case, too.
Naturally, there are other features that you’ve come to expect from a Kensington case. That includes a self-adjusting hand strap, a holder that supports both standard Surface Round and Classroom Pens, a TypeCover keyboard strap, and a kickstand opening.
