Sleeves/case for bare SP3?

[Stockholmstar]

Hi Group,
I'm searching for a sleeve/case that offers a snug fit for a bare SP3. Most sleeves on sale are made to accommodate an SP3 with the type cover on. And I don't want that because I seldom use it on.
Ideas?
Ulf

I have the WaterField Outback Solo, they are other models/styles you may like.

I have this one: Maroo Synthetic Leather Folio for Surface Pro 3

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...-Surface-Pro-3-Dark-Brown/productID.306257800

it does fit it with the type cover as well. however from the design it can be used without one just fine.

Features:

1. Hard side to protect the screen
2. Pen loop to hold your pen
3. Magnetic closure
4. a little heavy compared to plain old envelop style
5. grippy faux leather back

Can you take pictures with the SP3 in it? I love the look of this one, but I'm looking for a case that's just big enough. I don't want a bunch of extra room, tight fit would be ideal. Thanks

I have that one as well, at least with the keyboard on there is no extra room at all it is really tight. I absolutely love it

Thanks. Is the magnetic latch pretty secure?

I can chime in that the Maroo case is great. Got it for free with the Surface promotion this past December.

I took a few hurried pics. maybe these can help you decide. I took some with the type cover attached and without.

I actually don't use the included pen loop (it's not full length) but use the pen loop on my type cover instead.

You can see that it fits with and without. the magnetic closure is good and overall the the feel carrying it around is quite nice with the cover.

I do find in my office I tend to not use it at all and just carry around my SP3 so only use this when I'm transporting it in a non-protective bag - such as a messenger or backpack as opposed to my regular laptop bag.

Thanks for the pics. Ugh. Why does it have to be such a beautiful sleeve? Lol. I think I've almost spent the equivalent amount on accessories as I have on the SP3.

Problem I have with the maroo case is it has no additional pockets for charger/mouse.

I picked up the hex sleeve in silver. Fleece lined , water resistant, glove tight fit with keyboard. And more importantly I can fit the charger and a small BT mouse so everything is in one place. The front pocket is tight with the charger , I recommend not wrapping the cord around the brick.

Actually I have been looking for a small messenger style bag with shoulder strap for when I'm going 'light' and found this one to be the best. great for that charger and mouse package deal. I haven't picked it up yet but I think this is the one.

They do make a sleeve as well.
