Microsoft's Surface Pro X is a 2-in-1 PC that's made to be mobile thanks to a slim, light build and LTE connectivity. If you're carrying it with you wherever you go, you'll no doubt want to invest in some protection to prevent against drops and scratches while also offering a bit of extra functionality. There aren't a ton of options released yet for the new Pro X, but we've put together a list of the best cases and skins so far.

This slim case, available in four colors, is made of PU leather and is compatible with the keyboard attached. When open, it offers use of the built-in Pro X stand, and all ports, sensors, and cameras remain unblocked. A slim pocket on the back lets you store smaller documents, making it a great choice for traveling. A loop on the side keeps the standard Surface Pen nearby when not in use.

There aren't a lot of cases available yet for Microsoft's Surface Pro X, though the options above should suit quite a few people who need stylish protection. We were able to test UAG's Metropolis Pro X case and noted its durable build, MIL-STD 810G drop protection, and firm fit. The metal stand we've seen from previous versions has been replaced with hard plastic, which makes the case lighter overall.

It's compatible with the Pro X keyboard and has an elastic strap at the top to keep it closed, and you don't lose access to any ports, cameras, or sensors. There's a dedicated holder along the top for the standard Surface Pen to keep it close when not in hand. This is a pricey option at about $70, but it's the right choice if you're hard on your devices and want to keep your Pro X looking pristine.
