I think you've got the 360 and Surface cases mixed up.
The 360 case is a full frontal cover - screen protector, keyboard - with a little hole for the trackball. The ports on the side are cutout as are the charge terminals noted earlier.
I'm not loving the 360 case totally yet...
1. Cradle - I didn't understand that the BB cradle wouldn't work. Crap, I have 2 more coming from when they were $11 on Amazon. Need to cancel that backorder now!
2. The trackball is just enough lower than before that I'm having a lot of "misses" when scrolling or moving ... I'll give it a few more days, but it's definitely aggravating.
3. Keyboard - it's surprisingly NOT mushy. I'm surprised at how much I'm NOT double-pressing. I think that will get worse as the keyboard stiffness goes away, but right now it's not bad for typing. Very much like my old 8830 keyboard now.
4. Back light - I have always considered theTour's key backlighting pretty intense. The 360 cover definitely mutes it. Probably too much - I really have to strain to see it in the dark.
5. Speaker (handsfree) - the cutout for the speaker on the left side is too small by about 4-5mm. This causes the sound to muffle a bit when using the speakerphone or playing podcasts.
6. Fit/finish - I've got a noticeable ridge at the seam - on the right lower part it's actually a little sharp.
I haven't written Seidio yet... I want to wait a few more days to see if I want to stick with it or go back to a skin. I've been a long-time customer and fan of their holsters and cases -- 8830, HTC Mogul, HTC Touch, now Touch.
Unfortunately, as of right now, I'm disappointed with the 360 for the Tour.
