UAG Surface Pro 7 Rugged Case - Black

I loved the feel of this case. I have a UAG case on my phone and had one my last phone so I thought I would love this. The material is grippy and the stand is really sturdy but the case combined with the metal stand made my Surface Pro 4 really heavy, the stand really dug into my legs when using on my lap due the extra weight. However, it did seem to protect the device really well. The keyboard retention elastic strap broke after using it about 3 times. This combined with the lack of comfort with lap use prompted me to return the case. I had a hard time removing the case, was really afraid I was going to damage my Surface trying to get off.

I've used this case for over a year now with my Surface Pro 3. Recently upgraded to the 4 and didn't think twice about picking up the 4 version of this case. It does in fact meet mil standards, fits the surface somewhat snugly on the first installation but stretches out enough to make installation easier after a few days. It is not effected by screen protectors but due to the overlap on the front (it doesn't interfere with the screen itself), you need to ensure you install the screen protector first. The stand is plenty durable and the multiple positions are quite handy. It also makes for a very handy hand hold when you are laying in bed.

The case is heavy and durable and was the only one that was "shock proof" as stated per manufacturer labels. I have not dropped it yet so I can not attest to it, however I feel much safer with my Microsoft Pro 2017 being encased in it. It gives the laptop about another 2 pounds added to it. I cannot fold my surface pro keyboard back with the case on, however I can just easily take off the keyboard to compensate for the protection. It is a bit bulky and with my Zagg Sreen Protector it kind of makes the protector come off, yet it may be because the edges are bulky OR the screen protector is too large. Overall I am happy, but it does get a bit dirty.
