With Microsoft rumored to be releasing a Surface Pro 4 in the near future, here are some of the best accessories for the Surface Pro 3, the current tablet/laptop hybrid from the company.

Type Cover

The Type Cover for the device helps convert it into a laptop and thankfully, Microsoft has improved the design of the current model. It now consists of a magnetic strip which makes the process of attaching it to the device a lot easier. It also comes with a pen loop, which is useful in holding the Surface Pen. It also comes with a built-in trackpad.

Bluetooth Keyboards

There are a number of Bluetooth keyboards and cases available for the Surface Pro 3 and one of the best is the IVSO Keyboard Portfolio Case, which retails for about $36 on websites. It is a cheaper alternative for the Type Cover and importantly, its battery allows it to be used for 60 hours without recharging.

Cases

As for cases, there is a Corkor Case available for those who want an environmentally safe option, but for those who prefer a studier version, a good option is the Urban Armor Gear Case. It is built to even hold the Type Cover. Another good case is the Dux Case, which provides a good amount of protection thanks to its rubberized edges. It also allows the user easy access to the kickstand and keyboard. Lastly, for those who prefer leather cases, one of the best available is the Snugg leather Wallet case.

Docking Stations

Microsoft also has a docking station on offer for the Surface Pro 3 and with it, users can convert the tablet into a fully fledged laptop. The dock has a number of ports that align with those on the tablet/laptop hybrid and it even supports the connection of multiple monitors in a series.
