“We are excited to continue our partnership with Kensington in our Designed for Surface program,” says Patrick Mendenall, Director of Designed for Surface. “Their DfS Certified Kensington BlackBelt Rugged Case has long been a popular, high quality choice for Surface fans so it’s great to see it modernized for our new Surface Pro.

Kensington’s Comprehensive DfS Portfolio Enhances Productivity, Protection and Privacy

In addition to the family of BlackBelt Rugged Cases for Surface Pro, Kensington’s comprehensive portfolio of Designed for Surface solutions enhances the capabilities of Surface devices, and provides a deterrence against device and data theft.

Compatible with USB4/Thunderbolt 4-enabled Surface devices, the Engineered for Intel® Evo™ approved Kensington SD5750T Thunderbolt™ 4 Dual 4K Driverless Docking station (K37899NA) greatly enhances the features and usability of the Surface Pro device. The feature-rich SD5750T enables users to establish a future-proof desktop setup for the Surface Pro, providing 11 ports that enable users to connect a wide variety of USB-A and USB-C accessories, achieve up to 40Gbps data transfer speeds, add a single 8K or dual 4K monitors, charge up to 96W via USB-C power delivery, establish a Gigabit Ethernet connection, and charge the device through a single Thunderbolt 4 port.

Kensington also offers an alternative connectivity solution in SD4845P USB-C Triple Video Driverless Docking Station (K34440NA). This DfS-certified dock is a great alternative to the Surface Dock, enabling up to 10 ports of connectivity, supporting triple monitors, and offering up to 85W of power delivery to connected USB-C enabled Surface devices.

Kensington’s Keyed Cable Lock for Surface Pro and Surface Go (K62044WW) and Combination Lock for Surface Pro and Surface Go (K68131WW) provide professional-level security and peace-of-mind when using Surface Pro in public areas. Designed in collaboration with Microsoft, the Kensington keyed and combination locks provide non-invasive locking technology that requires no device modifications, preserving the Surface Pro’s hardware warranty and aesthetics. Strong lock heads meet Kensington’s industry-leading standards for tamper-resistance, reliability and durability, and carbon steel cables resist tampering and offer the same level of cut-resistance and theft-deterrence as thicker cables.

Kensington’s MagPro Elite Magnetic Privacy Screen for Surface Pro 8 & 9 (K51700WW) seamlessly attaches to the Surface Pro’s magnetic frame, narrowing the viewing angle to +/- 30 degrees to reduce the chance of a visual data breach when using the Surface Pro in the office or in a public setting. Blue light reduction filters out harmful blue rays by up to 22 percent, easing eye strain and reducing the chances of interrupting sleep patterns. Low reflective coating reduces glare for improved clarity in various lighting conditions.

Kensington BlackBelt Rugged Case for Surface Pro 9 and the company’s comprehensive portfolio of Designed for Surface (DfS) products and solutions are available now through the Kensington Store.
