Where are you attaching your pen tab to your Surface Pro 3?

Have you had any issue with it falling off?  I thought about doing the exact same thing, because this seems the natural place for the pen to go.

Thanks!

I trimmed mine a bit to fit. The stand helps keep it in place when closed.  It also still fits in the dock without the pen attached.   So far so good...

I think it is flimsy when attached to the keyboard and I also go only with the tablet at times, so I attach mine behind and just lower than the volume up/down.

Hi - I thought about that - but there seems to be such a large blob of glue on there that it wouldn't sit flat. Tried to pick the glue off, but the colored backing started to come away as well.

It looks like someone has peeled off the waxy strip and stuck it to a glue blob on the paper packing.

I could spend some more time fiddling about with it - but part of me thinks why should I - theres a problem in production that needs sorting out (or don't send pre-used ones out) and charging GBP 4.49 for such a small accessory - it ought to be fit for purpose out of the box.

As it is - its not fit for purpose.

Since I got no-where this morning - maybe Ill just fill in the send surface pro3 return form and just send just the loop back in a box and someone in MS can sort it out.

Just to say I spoke to a very helpful person at the Surface helpdesk and they organised sending me a new pen loop (that I will attach to the right side of the flip stand as suggested above.)

Really pleased with my sp3. Its just such a powerful package in such a compact form and the ability to use the pen - particularly with OneNote - is just fantastic.

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'm on the fence for purchasing the Surface Pro 3 and dealing with this lack of integrated Pen Holster or waiting for the Surface Pro 5. I've heard the Four due out Feb/March 2015 will use the same chassis. For everything MS got right on this it's almost perfect. I love the rubber tipped pen, kickstand, SD Slot and forward facing speakers mounted in the bezel. If only the pen had a home in the unit itself....

I like the premium Windows Hardware they're making. I'd love to see a Microsoft designed laptop from this hardware team.
