Where are you attaching your pen tab to your Surface 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

    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!

    No problems yet, I'm kind of surprised at how well it holds.  I think the kickstand helps a lot when its closed.  If I do it again, I will cut less off so it sticks out a bit more.  That way it wouldn't be so tight in the dock with the pen attached.

    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.
