The Viper Hardcase 13 is a well-designed, functional storage case that I use with my Surface Pro 3. This case isn’t actually as hard as it appeared to me in the images – it’s quite flexible but seems like it will provide decent protection if dropped.
I like the black colour and weaved design on the outside of the case, and the zippers do appear to be of high quality. The inside of the case is nice, soft and black – aside from a yellow compartment. Personally I’m not a huge fan of this colour change but it won’t deduct from my rating.
As I mentioned previously, I’m using this case not with a MacBook, but with my Surface Pro 3. Although it is a 13 inch case and the SP3 is a 12-inch device, due to the 3:2 aspect ratio, it fits very well. There is also a label inside the case which is a perfect place to store your Surface Pen – I’ll add pictures to this listing to demonstrate.
As well as the compartment for your Mac/Surface, there are two smaller compartments, and a larger yellow compartment behind them. I keep my scientific calculator in one of the smaller compartments, and papers that I receive in the yellow one.
Although not advertised for Surface Pro 3, I feel it is actually the best case for this device out of those which I have seen. It’s nice to use, appears as if it will protect it from drops and also has compartments for other, smaller devices and papers – although it doesn’t really fit a charger, nor did I expect it to. It is on the pricier side, but it has the quality to match.
