The Surface Pro 9 is a flagship 2-in-1 from Microsoft. It keeps the same shape and form factor as Surface Pro 8 but comes with fresher 12th-generation Intel CPUs, a new 5G option powered by the Microsoft SQ3 Processor, and a bunch of new color options. That makes it one of our favorite Surface PCs and one of the most portable and powerful Windows tablets ever.
So if you have a Surface Pro 9 and want to take it with you wherever you go, you should seriously consider a case. The best Surface Pro 9 cases help protect the surface (pun intended) of your 2-in-1 and ensure it won’t be damaged. This is especially important if you buy one of the new models in the Sapphire or Forest color, where the finish could get scraped off. There are numerous cases and sleeves you can choose from, and we’ve collected them all together for you below.
The good news is that the Surface Pro 9 and Surface Pro 8 have the same dimensions, so many sleeves or cases designed for the Surface Pro 8 should also fit the Surface Pro 9.
