URBAN ARMOR GEAR Feather-Light Rugged Case For Surface Pro

Absolutely a TOP NOTCH case all around! I have read some of the other reviews and the truth is no matter how hard some try – ya can’t make everyone happy. Bottom line the Urban Armor Gear Case is a rugged, solid case that provides good protection for the Surface Pro 4 Tablet.

The Pros – Fits Great – it isn’t as hard to slide the SP4 into the case as some would have you believe, and when its time to remove it, just use pressure on the correct places and it POPs right out. There is no danger to damaging the Gorilla Glass on the SP4 unless you are using a screwdriver or pocket knife. ***** Pro cont. – The Pen holder is excellent and fits the SP4 Pen snugly into place. Little chance of losing it and it actually holds onto the pen if you place it into a carrying bag etc. Pro cont. – The upper right TypeCover elastic band is OK – its a nice thought and will do it’s job, but as others have said – it will eventually break.

The CONS – Booo! The downside for SP4 i7 users is the ventilation – While mine has yet to overheat – I can see that on a warm day or in elevated temps, the case itself and the poor ventilation will most likely lead to possible overheating. In which case – the case will come right off. The CONS cont. – The kickstand blows! I mean really – for this price I would expect something a little more stable, quite and overall a much more professional job.

Overall – Its a great case and will provide a much needed layer of protection for your device. Its like an slightly downgraded Otterbox for the SP4.

It feels sturdy in the hand The unit seems to offer protection all the way around, even if I place my surface face down. I was worried it might be too thick to allow the keyboard to flip around, but it seems to be a ‘just right’ fit and does’t effect day to day usage. Of note: The pen storage has been moved to the top of the case near the camera. it sits in it’s own rubberized clip.

Of note: If you have a screen protector, you may run into the same issue as I did with mine, where the contour of the case around the sides of the surface lifts up the screen protector slightly. To fix this, take a sharp razor blade and carefully trim the flash/burr on the rubber where the case contacts the computer. I had to go a little further and cut a *very small* bevel. Problem solved

I really like this case. It’s a little heavy, but not uncomfortably so. There’s enough material there to justify the weight.
I would’ve loved to give it a 5 star review, but it has a couple issues.
First is the screen protector issue I mentioned above
Second being that the top of the case near the camera is a tad flimsy. I would’ve liked to see a bit more support there as the case bends and peels out of the way if I pick up my computer from the top.
Third is while there is a very nice cast aluminum(?) stand, there’s a plastic ratcheting mechanism to hold the foot at pre-defined angles. I would’ve liked to see an infinitely adjustable system like what the surface had originally. Or at least a ratchet made from something other than cheap feeling/sounding plastic. it really distracts from the quality of an otherwise very nice case

The surface uses a hybrid cooler. It will dissipate heat both passively through the body of the unit, and actively via a traditional heatsink/fan. I saw some other reviewers voicing concerns about the case acting as an insulator and causing some thermal concerns with the unit, but I haven’t experienced any issues myself. Chipset temperatures are within a normal range and the fan doesn’t seem to be working any harder

Great case to protect my Surface Pro 6, I’ve been using it for a year now and it shows little to no sign of wear. The mechanism still work as new and the fit is spot on. Good price for that kind of quality.

Excelente capa !!!

somit ist der Surface gut geschützt und die Hülle liegt sicher in der Hand
