Best 2017 Surface Pro Screen Protectors & Why You Need One

After you’ve finished setting up your new 2017 Surface Pro, be sure to buy one of the best Surface Pro screen protectors. You absolutely need one.

You need to buy one of the best Surface Pro screen protectors from this list because your Surface Pro is the most disaster-prone device you probably own. Like your smartphone, a glass touchscreen dominates the front. However, unlike your smartphone, the 2017 Surface Pro has a 12.3-inch display. Because of its size and heft, the odds of it surviving a direct hit from a hard object is small and you’re more likely to scratch it too.

A shattered or scratched display on any device is bad. On Surface Pro, it’s even worse. You can get your iPhone or Android smartphone screen repaired at your local mall. Microsoft bonds the glass front of the Surface Pro with the display that sits behind it. There’s no service to run to if you break your Surface Pro display. You must return it to Microsoft for servicing or file an insurance claim with Microsoft Complete if you have a Surface Plus subscription. A new device can take days to arrive on your doorstep and you will need a second PC to use while yours is out for servicing.
