I really like this case. I feel that my Surface 3 is adequately protected, and ended up preferring this to my soft tablet sleeve. It does add some noticeable weight to the tablet but that doesn't bother me much. The pen loop is a nice touch; it keeps the stylus somewhat recessed between the folds of the case giving it moderate protection from catching on things. You lose the Surface kickstand ability while using this case but the two positions the case can angle your tablet to are decent. One is liw and ideal for lap use (although I feel it sags a little too much in this mode after breaking the case in) and the other is more upright like a laptop. I don't own a Surface keyboard so I have no input there. Overall I have no regrets on this purchase.
