Just Bought SP3 - Want Accessories - Please Help

[eldreams]

Just bought a SP3 for my wife, holding off for the SP4 myself.
First surface device as I have other various windows tablets, phones, xbox one, and PC's - so have questions regarding accessories for this specific device.
I've read some of the other threads to get an idea, though instead of searching countless posts/threads I'd thought this post would be better:

• Screen protector - Has anyone tried XtremeGuard full body screen protection, ArmorSuit, or something other you can recommend that won't interfere with the pen/touch as well as viewing quality.
• Case/Cover - Anybody have any recommendation of a sleep slip/cover in Purple or Case that supports the full functionality of the kickstand angles?
• Wireless Display - I thought about getting the MSW Display Adapter to extend/mirror the screen at home or in the office - A lot of Amazon reviews say there's lag or it loses connection all the time. Any other adapters (small) to consider? Or are the reviews wrong on the MS one?
• SD Card - can someone recommend one that's reliable, fast, and cheap (price)?

If you could supply links, recommendations, or any other suggestions - I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!

For a decent screen protector I would recommend a tempered glass screen protector as it doesn't hamper touch or pen functionality, I've found that the thin plastic protectors limit touch/pen function

Also I believe that INCIPO do purple cases (which you can get from Microsoft's online store) which utilises the kickstand, but don't support the tilted function on the keyboard :/

As for SD cards I would recommend Samsung, I (currently) use a SanDisk micro SD card in my Nokia smartphone, which I previously used in my old Surface RT and the SD card is throwing a wobbler and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.


Hope this helps!

The Microsoft Wireless adaptor works great - not just web browser like Chromecast. Best Screen protector by far is the Microsoft one - expensive, but easy to put on and good protection. 128gb Sandisk, or Lexar. If you are going to store music, or stuff you access frequently on the card - pay more and get the fastest one.
