The Surface Pro 4 tablet from Microsoft won't start shipping until later in October, but Urban Armor Gear is already taking pre-orders for rugged cases made for the 12.3-inch tablet.

Urban Armor Gear has already made similar rugged cases for many of the previous Surface tablets, and the ones for the Surface Pro 4 looks like they will continue that tradition.

  • Compatible with Microsoft Type Cover Keyboard and multiple keyboard positions
  • Built-in Surface Pen storage and magnetic holder compatibility
  • Aluminum stand with 5 angular positions plus portrait viewing option
  • Non-slip, Frogskin exterior grip material
  • Un-compromised audio and access to touchscreen, buttons, and ports
  • Meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6) when used with Microsoft Type Cover keyboard

The cases come in three colors (Black, Red and Cobalt) and will start shipping in late October for $69.99.

  • Def worth it for that profile and durability.
  • I wonder if there is any way this could fit the SP3 since it is only marginally thicker. I have the original version of this but would love to have Stylus storage.
  • They make one for the sp3 Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Do they make phone cases?
  • Yeah I use to buy their phone cases all the time their really durable and slim
  • It's the only phone case I buy. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Tell them I want the Cobalt for my 950/950 XL. Phone accessories for Lumias has long sucked.
  • When I get my 950XL I'll be begging for a case from them
  • Finally, you can use the dock with the case still on the device.
  • Hah, didn't even think of that, that's one of the major reasons I never bought a case for my Surface Pro 2...so many improvements in that 1 little docking station, almost thought it was a downgrade to the Surface Pro 3 docking station until I analyzed all it's use cases, it sure does justify it's price tag. Docking station now frees the use of the Surface Pro at any angle when docked, can now be used with a case on the Surface Pro, is now a lot more portable and thus can double as a replacement charger with not just a meh 1 USB port but 4 + multiple other ports, adds another DisplayPort while keeping the uses it's known for (although it now has 4 USB ports instead of 5), and is backwards compatible with the Surface Pro 3.
