Inateck’s 12.3-inch sleeve fits all Pro models, including the X, bringing a soft flannel lining to prevent scratches and a durable polyester exterior that protects against the elements. The main pocket is zippered to keep everything inside, and a handle on top makes it easy to carry on its own, sort of like a briefcase. Grab it in Dark Gray or Black colors.
MoKo’s sleeve is a great option for deal hunters and vegans alike. It’s made from PU leather for a sharp, professional look, complete with a magnetized folding flap to keep everything in place. The inside is lined with felt to prevent scratches, and a dedicated Surface Pen holder on the side is ideal if you’re still using the original model instead of the Surface Slim Pen.
This premium slim sleeve is handmade in San Francisco from a single piece of full-grain leather, with the corners along the top cut to allow a charging cable in.

If we’re making some suggestions
Any of the sleeves included in the roundup above will offer on-the-go protection for your Surface Pro X. However, if you’re wondering which one to ultimately go with, we recommend checking out the Waterfield Designs Dash sleeve. Each Dash is handmade specifically for the Pro X, meaning you’re going to get a perfect fit that comes with a lifetime warranty.
It’s available in either black ballistic nylon or a Luna textile in four other colors, including blue, green, red, and grey. You can also choose between horizontal or vertical orientation, which changes the side into which you can slip your Pro X. To keep it all contained, an elastic band slips over the opening. For your smaller accessories, including charger, there’s a zippered mesh pocket on the back of the sleeve.
The Dash is relatively pricey, so if it’s not quite in your budget we also recommend checking out the tomtoc 360. Many sleeves provide padding along the sides but neglect the corners where accidental drops will do the most damage. The tomtoc 360, however, offers thick protection around all corners, along with plush lining to cut down on any scratching. The main pocket is zippered, and there’s a secondary zippered pocket on the outside for your smaller accessories.
