Is the charging port covered like it appears to be in the photos?

No, it is not covered but it isn't a plug in charge, it is magnetic. When you attach it you need to be sure the tiny light is on or it may not be charging.

I'd say yes. Their photo seems to be backwards, but with surface installed, there is an opening on the lover right side allowing for magnetic charge bar, as well as for your flash, and small android plug that some phones and tablets use. A small strip in middle is what secure face frame to cover.The opposite side is actually as photo shows. It's a pretty nice cover and a lot cheaper than the leather one sold at best buy for 60 Ł (kidding) dollars. And hole for camera. The keyboard, if you buy, sits flat on table on pad it comes with, as the front cover folds back to form the support stand as shown. For the money. I think you'll be happy with this. I'd say yes.

Just in case, there are no installation instructions and I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. The bottom frame has Velcro closure that lifts. Away from from cover allowing Surface to slide in. I'm sure you would have figured it out after some aggregating minutes of "this doesn't fit!" The first time I tried, I just got discouraged and packed it away for a few months, until I saw your question and took it out and re-examined. OHHH! Like a vision suddenly appearing.I have the Surface 2, bought on sale when the 3 came out.

yes port hole for turning on/off & charging ports did not line up.modify the cover I had to buy a different cover and it 100% better this was a loss of money

Yes, the charging port on the bottom, the cover for the extra memory, the ear phone port as well as the power button and volume buttons - all are accessable when in the holder, even with the cover closed! This one is better than the $20-25 ones at B&N.; Only negative is it is a little 'tippy' on the vertical rotated mode setting on a desk top or your lap if pressing the screen too hard to turn a page for instance, but that's still much better than not having the feature at all to hold it at an angle for viewing.

Yeah. All of the ports are accessible. I just found I had to pull the case away from the tablet a bit to charge it.

The charging connection to the battery is inside the cover. The battery charges just fine with a broken USB port.

Not from what I encountered cause I lost my charger port cover and this one didn't close it completely

Yes, there is a flap over the charging port that protects it but can be lifted up to connect the charger.

Charger port is exposed, but well protected. All the ports are exposed. Just dropped the phone on a brick patio last night. Not even a scratch.

No, there is a cut-out for the charging plug. Not that you asked, but I think this is an awesome tablet, and the case suits very well. Slim profile and very usable. Hope this helps.

Yes. There are openings for charging and the power button and volume button are covered, but their functions aren't affected by this (actually, they are protected).

Unfortunately, I do not know about the charging cover option. It fits the standard cover perfectly.

Yes, it is accessible. It has a cover on it that you just open to plug it in. Great feature...protects the charging port.
1422434
no, it covers both the side on/off and the quick camera buttons. and it leaves the charge port and camera button open. If you look at the ones with colors, the back triangular "inside" piece is hard, and removable.And is like a photo frame piece,that pulls out to stand up on it's side or lengthwise to view on a table without holding. impresive for what I paid...less than $5 shipped!

Mine actually does have a little hole that lines up with the slot for the charger/power cord. It is off just a bit, but works. Perhaps, they changed the design a bit when folks complained about not power cord access?

yes, the photo is incorrect, just got mine, and i really like it. it will be put to the test this week. i work outside at a local airport, we will see how it takes the punishment! fits nice and snug on the phone, have no problems with connecting charger or earbuds.

Yes there is a flap to cover the charging port. It is also very easy to take off of the phone. I love it. I did remove the screen protector because I prefer the ones not integrated with the covers (sheets)
