The Holiday shopping season is here and you are most likely the only person from the entire family who cannot decide what to get for the close ones. It has been said many times, that the year 2015 is the year of wearable technology. We got 2nd wave of Android Wear smartwatches, the first round Samsung watch, an enormous number of new fitness tracker, and probably the most important thing, the Apple Watch went on sale. There are important choices to be made.

I have been using the Touch Cover for Microsoft Surface tablet for quite a some time now. In fact, this whole review is written using the Touch Cover. It is basically Smart Cover style accessory, which doubles as a keyboard. Microsoft also offers Type Cover and Power Cover. The idea is the same, but they all have their pros and cons. The Touch Cover is the thinnest and lightest and uses a pressure sensitive surface as a keyboard. The Type Cover is slightly thicker and heavier, but still portable. The main advantage over the pressure sensitive Touch Cover is that it has “normal” mechanical keys. It is much easier to use and to type on. The newest addition to the family is the Power Cover. It is basically a Type Cover with an integrated battery, which can improve the battery life of your Surface Pro. Note that I said Surface Pro. This cover works only with the Surface Pro or Surface Pro 2. The other covers work with the whole family of Surface tablets.
