As technology and construction are mixing more and more, we have to start thinking of ways to protect our devices. Unlike tools and equipment, the plastic cases our phones and tablets are wrapped in can’t handle much abuse, so the best technology in general may not be the best technology for the job site.
As some companies are developing ultra-rugged technology specifically designed for construction workers, others are developing ways to protect products already on the market. Such is the case (no pun intended) with Urban Armor Gear (UAG), who has released military grade cases for Microsoft Surface Pro Tablets, as well as Apple and Samsung phones and tablets. We’re focusing on the Surface Pro Tablet cases in this post, because we think it’s the best tablet available for construction or any other industry and it’s finally got a case that can adequately protect it. Available for most models in Black, Red, or Blue, the case is constructed with an impact resistant and non-slip grip material on the exterior. Keeping in mind two of the Surface tablet’s main features, the keyboard and the pen, the UAG case is fully compatible with both and includes a magnetic holder for the pen (Pro 4 model). The aluminum stand is adjustable to 5 different positions, as well.
The cases are available on Amazon for $69.95 apiece, which you can find by clicking the link. The Microsoft Surface Tablets themselves can range anywhere from $900-2,000 on Amazon, depending on the specifications.
In the midst of fierce discourse over the bipartisan infrastructure bill lies a unique opportunity for the United States.
