The Scout series is inspired by those who always seek the less-traveled path. This case is durable and protects your device from everyday accidents. It has been tested in real military drop tests and features a tough armor shell as well as shock-absorbing bumpers that are crucial for drop protection. The non-slip, tactile grip and comfortable hand strap provide excellent handling, making it easier to work on the go. It includes a holder for the Surface Pen to keep your stylus secure and within reach. There are multiple attachment points for an adjustable shoulder strap (shoulder strap not included). The thoughtful open Scout design also allows for full use of the Surface Pro 9's kickstand. This case is compatible with the Microsoft Surface Type Cover keyboard, making it perfect for work or school.
