overall case is somewhat sturdy but hinge breaks easily.

The case cover stand broke after 3 weeks of use. Got it for Christmas and didn’t use it until 3 weeks ago. Ive used it daily for writing notes in my classes. If your buying it for the same, I don’t recommend this.

This case gives great protection to the Surface Pro 8, but the kickstand is all plastic and does not lock in place as well as the metal ones on UAG cases for other Surface Pro models.

One of the only surface pro 8 cases available at launch. Decent case with good protection but ultimately returned it due to a useless feature. Here's my pros and cons: Cons: - Case doesn't fit with a screen protector - Price is super expensive for the same protection that supcase offers - External pen holder feature only works with the older surface pen which makes it useless. - Kickstand in the back is no longer metal Pros: - Fits nicely with the surface keyboard. - Protects the surface nicely with proper ventilation. - Can charge with the included Microsoft charger.

The case is definitely rugged, but the kickstand is relatively flimsy feeling compared to the metal one I had on my old surface. It works fine, I am just not sure how the kickstand will hold up. Only time will tell.
