Microsoft has begun offering a free Touch or Type Cover to all new U.S. and Canadian buyers of the Surface RT tablet.
The move is aimed at attracting buyers to the struggling tablet and is a pretty good deal given that the covers cost between $100 and $129 depending on how you purchase them.
Touch Covers will be available in cyan, red, magenta, white, or black. The Type Cover is only available in black.
It is unclear how long the promotion will last but Microsoft says it is a "limited time offer."
Sales to date of the tablet have been lackluster, to say the least. Since launch in October, the company has only sold slightly above 1 million.
