The Kickstand
Surface 2 has two built-in kickstand positions (24° and 40°), so you
can easily see the screen when you’re working at a desk or typing on
your lap. You can flip out the kickstand from either side. Gently flip
out once for the first position (upright), and then again for the
second position (less upright).
