Designed for Microsoft Surface

Kensington has worked with Microsoft engineers to develop a range of officially licensed Designed for Surface accessories. This ensures the highest quality, form, fit, and function with a Surface device, and a great user experience.

More Than a Badge

Kensington is proud to be part of the Designed for Surface (DFS) program. DFS products are designed in collaboration with Microsoft and must meet their rigorous standards to carry the DFS badge. Tests performed in Microsoft’s lab include compatibility with current and previous Surface devices, adequate heat dissipation, no interference with wireless communications or the Surface device itself, no impact on Surface charging, and much more.

Built in Partnership

Because we work closely with Microsoft, we're able to gain a deep understanding of how Surface devices are used, and what their users want, like, and don't like. With those insights in mind, we can purpose-build the perfect accessories to Microsoft's — and our own — high standards.

Optimized by Design

At Kensington, we strive to develop products that enable you to connect, protect, secure, and do more with your devices. This drive to exceed our own standards, coupled with Microsoft’s comprehensive Designed for Surface program standards, deliver exceptional DFS products that perfectly complement Surface devices.

Kensington, for All Your Surface Accessories

From locks, to cases, to docks, and more, we’ve got your Designed for Surface needs.

Locking Solutions

Locking solutions with the DFS badge are tested to not only ensure that they are capable of physically securing your device, but that they also will not cause scuffs or damage during normal usage. These DFS solutions also take device size and port layout into consideration to provide a solution that will not impede productivity. The result is an outstanding DFS-certified locking solution that is made by Kensington, inventor and worldwide leader in laptop security locks.

Protective Cases

Protective cases with the DFS badge are of the highest quality. These products must meet Microsoft’s strict testing standards for form, fit, and function, and must not block ports, cameras, or magnets on the Surface device. Additionally, Surface protective cases are built with the TypeCover and Surface Kickstand in mind, so that the device can be used exactly as Microsoft intended. In addition to meeting Microsoft’s and our own rigorous testing, these cases are also built to meet military test standards to ensure drop and/or wipe down protection in the toughest of conditions.
