Problem

 

Provide Surface Duo 2 protection and Surface Pen charging and storage capability on-the-go.

 
 

Process

The challenge behind designing the cover is striking the balance between device protection and embedding wireless charging components. The cover has a thick to thin design to maximize surface coverage while ensure no interference with the device when turned 360°. A lot of efforts were put into embedding the wireless charging components in the slightly thicker part of the cover to provide a thoughtless and seamless pen charging experience.

 
 
 
 

Solution

Magnetically store and charge Surface Slim Pen, while helping protect Surface Duo 2. This cover and soft-touch bumper keep your pen close at hand for note-taking and sketching with exceptional accuracy. The case is made of polycarbonate on the outside and has microfiber Alcantara lining on the inside to prevent scratching the device.

 
 
 
 

More

Simple soft-touch bumper is also created with the same logic. It adheres to the edge of Surface Duo 2 and supports full mobility of the 360° hinge.
