The usb ports and the sd card slot are at the back of the unit. They are built in a little. The one to connect to a computer - usb - is on the side. The time I spent with the unit, I found the wheel did not get in the way. The case doesn't add that much more weight and size to the machine. As I said last night, I was able to put it in my medium sized purse. It reminds me of one of the netbooks. You take it out of the case from the side. It doesn't appear difficult at all.

The sd slot: is it still in the bottom of the device like the mPower, or is it built into the plastic shell like on a laptop or cell phone? How do you get cards out? 2. Can you fold the top of the case under the unit like the mPower or pk cases, or will the pocket and rubber feet get in the way? If you cannot fold it: 3. How easily can it be removed from its case? Most school desks only have room for the unit, not for the unit plus the case's top flap, so hopefully you can take the Apex out easily. 4. Are the USB ports on the back surrounded by metal like those on the mPower, or are they built in like on a laptop? 5. Do you find the scroll wheel gets annoying while typing? 6. Does the case add a lot of size to the Apex? The mPower case makes the mPower seem much larger than it actually is and I wonder if the Apex's case will do the same. 7. Is the magnetic flap secure, or could you see it coming open easily? Thanks for any answers!! ___ Replies to this message will go directly to the sender.
