Editor's Rating 

Designed for the Microsoft Surface, the ThinSleeve is a basic but futuristic looking tablet sleeve made of EVA foam rubber, a material often found in various products such as sports shoes and bicycle saddles. Not surprisingly, it is also particularly well suited for this application, as it dampens and absorbs small shocks from bumps really well. Since the material is in fact fully water resistant, the ThinSleeve also provides both an excellent barrier between the tablet and rain/snow showers, as well as gives users the ability to easily wipe or wash off any dirt that might accumulate on the exterior surface. The ThinSleeve has a rubber like look and comfortable spongy grip feel. Its material makeup is not prone to deterioration over time under UV radiation, therefore longevity of the case is ensured even under circumstances where it is subjected to extended exposure to sunlight. The top flap closure is provided by a Velcro fastener running along almost the entire width of the case. The connection strip attached to the front of the sleeve is of an advanced (small profile) variety, which reduces the chance of dirt and lint getting stuck and accumulating in it over time, thereby guaranteeing a long term, hassle-free lock.
