Microsoft Surface Pro 12” Cases, Covers and Screen Protectors

Microsoft Surface Pro 12" cases and accessories

The Surface Pro 12" is Microsoft's most portable productivity tablet yet - just 686g and barely 7.6mm thin. That slim profile demands accessories that add protection without bulk. We've selected cases and screen protectors specifically designed for the 12-inch PixelSense display and its unique 165-degree kickstand. Everything here fits perfectly and won't interfere with pen input or the adjustable stand.

For business & commuters

If your Surface Pro 12" travels with you daily, a folio case offers all-round protection whilst doubling as a stand for video calls and presentations. Look for options with document pockets and pen holders to keep your Slim Pen 2 secure.

For desk-based productivity

Working primarily from one location? A quality screen protector shields that gorgeous 12-inch PixelSense display from scratches and fingerprints without affecting touch sensitivity or the 90Hz refresh rate. Pair it with a slim sleeve for occasional transport.

For Maximum Protection

Accident-prone or working in demanding environments? Combine a hardshell case with a tempered glass screen protector for comprehensive defence against drops, scratches, and everyday wear.

How to choose the right Surface Pro 12" accessory

• Precise fit for the 12-inch model: The Surface Pro 12" has different dimensions than the larger Surface Pro 11 13-inch. Always confirm compatibility - accessories designed for the 13-inch model won't fit properly.
• Kickstand compatibility: The Surface Pro 12" features a 165-degree adjustable kickstand that's essential for laptop-mode use. Choose cases that leave the kickstand fully accessible or include their own integrated stand.
• Pen & port access: With only two USB-C ports, you need unobstructed access. Quality cases provide precise cutouts for charging, data transfer, and connecting to external displays. If you use a Surface Slim Pen, look for cases with dedicated pen storage or magnetic attachment points.
• Screen protector considerations: The 12-inch PixelSense display supports touch, pen input, and up to 90Hz refresh. Opt for screen protectors rated for stylus use with high transparency (99%+) to preserve display quality and responsiveness.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best case for the Microsoft Surface Pro 12"?

For most users, a folio case offers the best balance of protection and functionality. Folio cases wrap around your entire tablet, protect the screen when closed, and typically include a built-in stand for multiple viewing angles. They're ideal for the Surface Pro 12" because they complement the device's productivity focus without adding excessive weight to an already lightweight tablet.

Do I need a screen protector for my Surface Pro 12"?

Yes, we recommend a screen protector for all Surface Pro 12" owners. The 12-inch PixelSense display uses strengthened glass, but it can still scratch from keys, coins, or other items in your bag. A tempered glass protector adds an extra layer of defence and can be replaced cheaply if damaged—unlike the display itself. Choose a protector specifically designed for stylus use if you own a Surface Slim Pen.

Will Surface Pro 11 accessories fit the Surface Pro 12"?

No, Surface Pro 11 (13-inch) accessories will not fit the Surface Pro 12". The two devices have different screen sizes and dimensions. The Surface Pro 12" measures 10.8 x 7.47 inches, whilst the 13-inch Surface Pro 11 is larger. Always check that accessories specifically state compatibility with the "Surface Pro 12-inch" or "Surface Pro 12" to ensure a proper fit.
