The Surface Pro X is one of the most interesting devices Microsoft has made, especially when it was first announced in 2019. It was, and still is, the thinnest Surface device ever, it included a bigger 13-inch display, and perhaps most notably, it was the first Surface device to feature an Arm processor, the Microsoft SQ1. Since then, the Surface Pro X has been refreshed with the Microsoft SQ2 processor and then superseded by the Surface Pro 9 with 5G, but it still has that thin and light design going for it.
Of course, as with most Surface devices, the Surface Pro X is fairly expensive (though you can get some big discounts on it these days). That means it's totally warranted to want to protect the Surface Pro X when you're using it, and thankfully, it's fairly easy to do so. Microsoft makes a limited number of devices, so it gets a lot of support from accessory makers, and if you want a case for the Surface Pro X, it's easy to find one. We've rounded up some great options below to help you out.

Kinmac 360 Protective Sleeve
A personal favorite, the Kinmac laptop sleeve may not be designed for such a thin and light tablet, but it's still such an easy recommendation. It offers lots of cushioning and soft fabric to keep your device safe, plus it comes in a variety of patterns you can choose from to fit your personal preference.
All of these cases cater to different types of users, so you're bound to find something you like here. Some, like the ProCase Keyboard Case, can now stay on the tablet even when you're using it, so it's always protected. But you might also want a sleeve to put the Surface Pro X in, so it's protected when you're travelling, but you can fully enjoy its thinness when you're using it. You can even use a case and a sleeve at the same time (depending on how big the case is, of course).
As we've mentioned, the Surface Pro X has since been superseded by the Surface Pro 9 with 5G, but if you want a cheaper and thinner option, you can still buy the Surface Pro X using the link below.
