Review on πŸ“± Rugged UAG Case for Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Plus/7/6/5/4 - Military Grade Protection, Aluminum Stand, Black by Keith Maynard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good rubber, bad stand, not worth 70€

I wanted to like this protector, considering that it costs 70€, but I had my doubts from day one. The aluminum stand feels very cheap and has fewer degrees of freedom than the SP4's built-in stand; even the slightest pressure (e.g. touching the display of the SP4) gives way, which is very annoying. It will also scratch any finished wood it comes in contact with so keep an eye on it. The case looks good overall, but the design includes non-functional parts like rubber torx bushings on all 4 corners, indicating that USG was aiming for a premium appearance rather than investing in architecture and materials that reduce drop damage and protect Service could extend life. Months (purchased 28th September) I accidentally hit my SP4 which caused the kickstand to fully extend (this happens a lot). The weight of my SP4 just went down, but this time the plastic adjuster broke where it connected to the stand, leaving the stand completely unusable. Considering the quality of the parts, the design and the fact that it broke after 3 years of normal use. Months ago I would advise you to look elsewhere for a reliable business.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are new competitors
