Waiting for SP3...
- Thread starter Moonsurface
- Start date
OP
I posted what I got in this thread as a link. It's not the prettiest case, but what I liked about it was it has a specific pocket you can store the pen in. I guess I'll find out how it actually is soon.....

Do you want a case (with a handle or shoulder strap) or a sleeve? I personally wanted a small case so I could carry more stuff, and even with a sleeve, I'd want at least a handle (again, a personal preference). There's already a thread here with a lot of links for both solutions. I'll paste a link below. It's about 6 pages.

I personally ordered this one (there are other color choices), which I am expecting to be delivered within the next hour actually.

I'm looking for a sleeve. I only take it out of the house to go to University, where I currently use my SP2 all the time.. except term ended about 6 weeks ago. When I take it out, I already have a bag for it, so it just goes with the other stuff I take to my lectures.
So just a sleeve to keep it safe in the bag.

It's not enough, I know, but I have a 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC I casrd lying around the house gathering dust... will that work in the SP3 until I get a 128gb card???
EDIT - Scratch that... I just realised what I have is an SDHC card, NOT a micro SDHC card

32GB might be enough, depends on what you will use it for. I have a 50GB dropbox, 40GB of which is being used, synced to my microsd so I opted for the 128. the extrreme pros and other types might be a waste of money as well. Microsd slots in the sp3 and most other tablets run on usb 2.0, with effective max throughput around 35MB/s; the 90MB/s extreme cards are fairly useless in that regard.It's not enough, I know, but I have a 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pro SDHC I casrd lying around the house gathering dust... will that work in the SP3 until I get a 128gb card???

Thanks Daveyp... I was just thing to use it as it is a spare one here. When I buy one don't think I will get an extreme pro. I think I'm just going to use it for music and movies
I have a 64GB Samsung UHS-I card in my SP2 and I get 60+MB/s reads and writes top out at about 18MB/s.
That's awesome. I was only quoting wikipedia which states the effective throughput is 35. The theoretical maximum is exactly 60.
I'm just sat watching a surfacegeek video and playing the waiting game. I'm not buying any accessies for it until i find they are needed. It'll be nothing but the device and keyboard for me. Although i do need to find a shoulder bag or backpack, and a sleeve, those are rather mandatory. An sd card, not so much. I don't realistically envision keeping anything on this but text files and the occasional rom or game, and can't really envision ever using the usb port.

Still drumming fingers here... hoping to get an email from MS early next week with a tracking number.
In the mean time I'm still watching and reading anything I can..
Just came across this which is similar work to what I want to do on my SP3....

Moon, I think we need to have a celebration when you get your Surface. Your agony is killing me
