Keyboard "cover" for when you are using your XPS as a tablet...

Try the premier sleeve that Dell sells separately from the laptop.  You can also purchase a generic one for cheaper

Thank you! I have that sleeve -- it's excellent. However, it's more used for transporting/carrying the laptop when you don't want to carry an entire bag. It's very nice. I like it. But I can't use it when I am using the device as a tablet.

Thanks again.

Why not?  You can just put the sleeve underneath the laptop when you're using it on a surface

On a surface, yes! You are absolutely correct! More often, I find myself carrying or "cradling" the tablet, walking, etc.

Thanks.

I'm also looking for protection of the keyboard while in tablet mode .  Are there any products available that serve this purpose.

I'm looking for something to protect the underside of the computer when it's in tablet mode and I'm in clinic resting on my knees (who knows what muck might be on my knees) or stood holding it with my left hand and it resting on my left forearm while I note stuff with my pen held in my right hand. I think I am going to try and make something out of some sort of closed cell flexible non-dusty light packing material that I will have to stick/cut/mould/gaffer tape together to do what I want since despite numerous searches I cannot find what I am after

No, I have not found anything. I've used the equivalent of large mouse pad when in my office, in my conference room, etc. -- but when I am out it doesn't work I have to keep turning the device, sharing it, moving it around, etc. -- and whatever I put it on doesn't slide with it. There should be a protective cover to use when it tablet mode whether you are carrying it, cradling it, or on a desk/table. Thanks!

I had this same question.  It doesn't seem like there has been a solution to this issue. 

So, I never found any type of cover -- or even anything that could solve this issue. However, what I did do, and was not happy with the outcome -- was that I bought a neoprene sleeve. Just a thin, simple, sleeve. Whenever needed I put the sleeve on the table and off I went. Did it work well? No. Was it better than leaving it on the hard table? Yes. Was it better than leaving it on any surface? Yes. But then you have to grab it, hold it up against the laptop -- which you are using as a tablet-type device -- when you are walking, taking notes, etc. No, didn't work well at all.

More to follow...have to run to a meeting. LOL.

So, part two, LOL. First, since I posted this, my XPS 15 has died a very heroic death, LOL. I've replaced that with a brand new, state of the art, top of the line 17" XPS. However, second, I met an accountant who uses a 15" XPS and here's what he did -- he bought a neoprene sleeve, cut it in half so it's only one side. He put in an elastic string on all four corners to ensure a snug fit. When he's using his laptop as a tablet, taking notes, etc. -- he pulls out the cover, puts it on, and he's off to the races. It's really a cool, home-made DIY solution.  It looks good, and allows him to use the device in full tablet mode. Even when it's sitting on the desk and the screen is pointed at someone, the keyboard is protected as it's not touching the desk, nor scratching it. Overall, pretty decent solution. Thanks.
