Urban Armor Gear launches 'Metropolis' and 'Plasma' rugged Microsoft Surface Go cases

Microsoft Surface Go is not an expensive tablet. Starting at just $399, it costs far less than the Surface Pro. Still, if you are spending your hard-earned money on it, you probably want to protect the investment. After all, if it does break, you probably cannot repair it on your own.

A case is a great way to shield the Surface Go from damage, and today, Urban Armor Gear launches two such products. Both cases -- the Metropolis and Plasma -- are MIL-STD 810G 516.6 rated and compatible with the official type cover. They even feature a place to hold the Surface Pen.

"The Metropolis and Plasma Series cases are designed to protect and compliment the features of the all new Microsoft Surface Go. The cases are lightweight, edgy, and MIL-SPEC drop-tested to ensure the tablet can withstand rigorous activity and usage," says Urban Armor Gear.

The company also known as UAG further says,"The Plasma series features impact resistant rubber bumpers along with a 360-degree rotating hand-strap. The case is equipped with a built-in kickstand, surface pen storage, and an optional shoulder strap. Made of feather-light composite construction with an impact resistant soft core, the Metropolis case is prepared for the toughest of drops. The series features oversized tactile buttons, air vents, water resistant grip, and easy access to touchscreen and ports."

Michael McVerry, Senior Marketing Manager for UAG says the following.

Without compromising the Surface Go's sleek design, the two cases were carefully engineered to provide maximum protection and functionality. Both Metropolis and Plasma Series cases will provide Microsoft customers with the peace of mind they need to take their Surface Go further.

The Plasma series costs $99.95 and is only available in a clear/black design. The Metropolis Series is cheaper at just $69.95 and comes in three colors -- Black, Cobalt (Blue), and Magma (Red).
