home inspector
Does anyone know of a case that provides more protection for the pro that is not the leather folio type? I'm thinking more like the rugged rubber cases that people put on their kids ipads. I do home inspections and love my pro but I need better protection.
Thanks!

Hey Curney,
As a home inspector in California, I had the same question about a 'bump case' for the Surface Pro. So I have been looking everywhere on the web and basically found nothing specific to the Surface Pro. As a current Fujitsu (Stylistic Tablet 1031D) user, the bump case is a no brainer and they provide great accessories. The bump case they have for my product is a padded canvas material with a shoulder strap. So whats up with Microsoft? There is a huge professional industry out there that does data entry in the field and needs to step up their tablet protection. I have visited the local Microsoft store - no help, called Microsoft - not only no help, they can not connect you with anyone that cares, very frustrating.
The one option, while not great, is to look into purchasing the new Fujitsu Q572 bump case and use it for the Surface Pro. If you look at the dimensions, you will see that it is within 1/4" in size and looks like it would work well. Of course the cut outs would not line up perfectly and it may require some modifications but its the only answer out there right now that I can come up with.
I would think that Microsoft wants to sell a lot of the Surface Pro 2 these days and the fact that they do not see the next step is selling to professional users is unbelievable. They should look to Fujitsu for an example of how to sell tables and accessories to professionals so they can increase sales of the surface pro 2. It would only take one phone call from someone at Microsoft to a manufacture that makes bump cases to start the ball rolling. NOT SURE HOW I CAN DO MORE.
here is a link to the case

Let me know if you have found anything?
