I just attached it to the back side of the Surface Pro 3 (See Pics)
Is that the loop that came with the PRO 3?

The pen tab is designed to be attached to the keyboard. But when I detach the Pro3 from the keyboard I no longer have access to the pen. On my Surface Pro 1 I attached a loop to the right side which worked except when I put it in the docking station.
What are you doing to store your pen?
Thanks

I reaaaaaallly wish they had integrated a slot for the pen, it's a huge letdown... The loop they provide with the keypad is terrible, it isn't even elastic so getting the pen in and out is brutal. We still have no idea where to attach the thing since it falls off the felt backing on the keyboard and its awkward sticking it to the actual surface pro's body, I can see us needing to buy dozens of extra pens because I'm sure tons will be lost during daily routines once we deploy them =/
Sigh... back to testing out the new updates and hoping for the best =P
I stick it to the left of my screen where the bottom is at the hinge.
Jeff, Just looked at the instructions that came with the cover and loop. Looks to me that the loop is attached to the cover and not the device itself.
Thanks everyone for responding. I think the Surface Pro 3 maybe too new for anyone to have tried it enough to find pros and cons for the placement of the loop.
Attaching it to the underside of the device, as someone suggests, will not allow the device to sit flat on a desk
As I said earlier, I attached a loop to the right side of my Surface Pro 1. It wasn't in the way of anything except when I placed the device in the docking station. Then I had to remove the pen and chance loosing it. But it was on my desk so the chance was slim. That won't work on the Pro 3 because there are too many connections on all sides to make this feasible.
Just wanted to see if anyone had any success with placing the pen storage (loop) in a convenient place for retrieval when the keyboard was not attached to the device.
