Help the Surface Community out by posting a quick review of your Microsoft Surface Case!

Welcome aboard!

Wow, I'm really surprised! I think this will be a great pricing structure and at least allow them to competitive with Apple and Android tablets.

$399 would be a good entry price. Anything much over $500-$600 I think Microsoft will have a hard time selling it.
