Microsoft Surface RT Accessories

Microsoft's first tablet from Surface series of tablet devices is Surface RT. Designed and priced to compete with some of the leading companieis in the field of tablet technology, such as Apple and Samsung, the Surface RT tablet with 32 GB of storage capacity, expendable via microSD up to 64 GB comes with a 10.6-inch multi-touch screen. It is driven by Windows RT OS, which has the same interface as Windows 8, but without support for some apps. This tablet from Microsoft is powered by a Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A9 and it has a very good battery life-up to eight hours. Being very compact and felxible, this tablet is aimed at users that want to do more than simply consuming media and websites, and since it comes with a full version of Office 2013, it is perfect for home and student use. Along with this practical tablet, the company presented some innovative MicrosoftSurface RT accessories that combine convenient typing and protective case in one. Apart from the official accessories, after the launch of this compact device, many well known manufacurers offered their model specific protective and additional accessories that will enhance the use of the Surface RT tablet.

Official Surface RT Accesories

Even though the magnesium shell and Gorilla Glass 2 display look rather promising and tough, there is no reason you shouldn't get some protective case to keep your new 10-inch tablet safe from damages that may occur due to every day use. This time, Microsoft came with the idea of putting two features together that will, apart from protection, bring a completely new typing experience. They presented two covers, specifically designed for this tablet device: Touch Cover and Type Cover.

Touch Cover: Super-Slim Keyboard Cover

This piece of Surface RT accessories combines slim pressure sensitive keyboard and protective cover. This cover somewhat resembles the Apple Smart Cover, since it it very thin, and has the Sleep/Wake feature. In addition, this cover protects the screen of the Surface RT from scratches and fingerprints, thanks to the synthetic material used for construction. What makes it completely different from iPad Smart Cover is the inside of it- a keyboard. Once connected, the keyboard uses its pressure-sensing technology that is very responsive to the key touch. The manufacturer also made sure that the Touch Cover also has some handy Windows shortcut keys. Thanks to the built-in kickstand on the back of the Surface RT and this 3.5 mm keyboard cover you will experience a whole new way of using your tablet. One of the best things about the Touch Cover is a wide range of colour options, for more authentic look. The colours include cyan, magenta, red, as well as in white and black.

Type Cover: Fast and Comfortable Typing

Unlike the Touch Cover, this piece of Surface RT accessories comes only in black. The Type Cover is bigger and thicker (6 mm) than the Touch Cover and it is meant for those who prefer a feeling of typing on a physical keyboard. It feels more comfortable and allows you to enter data a lot faster comparing to the Touch Cover. This solid and reliable keyboard cover for Surface RT also offers Winddows shortcut keys, as well as all smart cover feature and magnetic attacment used for connecting with the tablet.

Renowned Manufacturers For Surface RT

Soon after this Windows tablet was revealed, many mobile accessories manufacturers started offering their custom-made protective accessories for the Surface RT. One of them is ZAGG that added the Invisible Shield for Microsoft Surface in the calalogue of their high quality screen protectors. Their screen protector will keep the RT screen save from different factors taht may damage the screen, such as scratches, dust or dirt. Besides a perfect coverage and glare reduction, maybe one of the best features that ZAGG Invisible Shield offers is a lifetime guarantee. Incipio is also one of the manufacturers, recognized by the Microsoft themselves, that designed a protective case, specifically for the Surface RT. Their case for Surface RT will provide you with an optimum protection from bumps and scratches that may occur during an accidenatl drop. The close-seamed zipper has a neoprene lining and rubberized pulling tabs for easier and moire comfortable use.

For more convenient use, the manufacturer added a handy external pocket useful for storing extra accesories or personal documents.
