So what's the difference from the user's perspective if coin base is the exchange them self?

I'm still just buying Bitcoin on their site same way as before, right?

As I've read, the difference is basically having your fiat insured.

There's also no fee trading for some time...

And yes, you can keep buying as before

Coinbase has previously found success as one of the more consumer friendly bitcoin wallets and payment platforms. Consumers could buy and sell bitcoins from Coinbase, which would in turn purchase the coins from other exchanges and store them on the customer’s behalf. The company has also partnered with companies like Dell (and MONEY’s parent company, Time Inc.) to facilitate bitcoin purchases by acting as a middleman and converting bitcoins to cash.
