Original Surface Pro hard shell case

[11B1P]

I'm still using the original Surface Pro. If anything exists, I'm looking for a hard case like an Otterbox.

If you manage to find one, let me know, I want one for my Surface Pro 2.

Would the Surface Pro not get too hot / throttle faster with a case on it?

That is a good question I hadn't considered. My guess is it won't. There are cases for the newer Surfaces, but it's looking like I'm searching for a unicorn.

My reason for wanting something is, I'm adding a tablet stand to my work van so that I can use the Maps app for route planning and location tracking on the go, and I want some type of protection. I may not need it. I may be looking for a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Are the Surface Pro and Pro 2 the same dimensions?

From what I read, I believe they are.

Yes, it turns out that's true:

This can be closed. My Galaxy Book has better offline tracking than the Surface, so I'm using my Galaxy Book.

Thanks

That makes sense. Closing and archiving!
