Doesn't work for me.

First of all, I have to say that the overall quality of this tablet case from UAG did not live up to my expectations; especially given the cost. Mine arrived warped and the fit wasn't impressive. Most importantly, it didn't play well with the screen protector I had installed on my Surface Pro X. It kept squeezing and lifting a corner of my screen protector, making it unsuitable for me. In the end I decided on a different brand case, which I don't think fits either. Especially when it comes to…

Pros
  • Hands-free calling
Cons
  • Update Availability

UPDATE 5/22/2020: I contacted UAG to complain about power button issues and they said 3rd party vendors sell bad cases and assured me it would are products. it was 100% perfect on their website so i ordered the same case through their website and received it today. The alignment of the power button is absolutely perfect, but the pen holder at the top doesn't quite match the new "thin" pen. I love this case and I'm glad UAG has a real case on their website. Old review: I bought this for my…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Nothing here

Case fits MS Surface Pro X perfectly

First of all about the many reviews and why I added photos to this review. The housing is designed for PRO X without conversion. Even the pen slot matches the new keyboard. Many reviews claim that the power button is pushed by the case, it fits mine perfectly and doesn't push unless you push the rubber button that covers the real button. The case has an adjustable back support that works the same as the built-in one on the Surface, albeit shorter so not the best on your lap. The case even has…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Very expensive

Terrible value. Nothing but compromises.

The case is solid, but you lose some functionality. The stand is a joke compared to the built-in and questionable build quality. It only has two vertical positions. The handle is great, but since it can't be removed when not in use, it will always get in the way. The pen holder doesn't hold a thin pen at all, although it appears to be designed to do so. Some people say that it is suitable for a normal surface pen, but since this pen is not suitable for this device, I do not understand. Also, I…

Pros
  • Sequined
Cons
  • Expensive

Still GREAT case

This is the third UAG Surface case I've owned and I love all three. They gave me the fall protection I needed but weren't bulky and were easy to remove when needed. Oddly enough (in a good way) I've never had a problem with them coming loose when I didn't want them to. This is for my new Surface X and the only thing I would change is the pen holder. It works great (like the others I've had) for a regular pen but doesn't match the new fine pen. To me this is in no way a deal breaker and UAG has…

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Zero

Finally something works!

I've ordered so many things for Surface Pro X. This product was the first to be labeled for X, and it was. I didn't have to send it back and get a different version or anything. No, that's exactly what it says. Aside from this being stated it is also of very high quality. Pros: Strong hard plastic where it should be. Soft, flexible plastic where it should be. Well, and has a wide range of hand sizes, it's suitable for Cons: Uncomfortable with screen protectors. I recommend putting on the case…

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Appearance

*WARNING* The power button doesn't fit!

There are a lot of conflicting reviews on this so I took a chance and ordered. Well, the power button is definitely not configured. You can see in pic 1 the power rubber and the gap I cut out to reveal the rest of the power button. I had to do this because the case literally ran and shut down my pc to the point where my pc started running the auto-fix diagnostics. I ended up cutting off the rubber power button and trimming off most of the rubber casing so nothing was touching my power button…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are problems

Great investment - tablet accessories

I won't be throwing this with my Pro X to test. I hope it serves its purpose. This device fits my Surface Pro X perfectly. The hand grip on the back is a great feature! The shoulder strap is a bit bulky. I wish the strap had a quick release buckle to take it off, but there isn't one yet. Overall I am SATISFIED with my purchase. There's also my Pro X character! What a stern look! I also have access to all my ports! Just be careful when adding a keyboard after you've built the screen into the…

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Minor issues
