To answer your question , yes it does come with an adhesive loop that you can attack to the side. I if your thinking that the folio case doesn't provide an option for holding the S pen your not quite correct. I thought this too originally but it turns out the two ridges on the front of the case are magnetic and do a very nice job of holding the S pen for most tasks. If your throwing it in a bag I would recommend putting it somewhere in a sleeve so it doesn't get smashed. The way it hold is much like the surface pro 5 and surface book. I prefer the magnets to the loop option provided with the keyboard case.
