Microsoft has revealed the release date for their Power Covers for Surface tablets, with the accessory shipping on March 19th.
The cover will significantly extend the battery life of Surface Pro, Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 tablets. Microsoft claims the accessory will extend life by up to 70 percent, which could make the devices much more productive and portable.
Weighing in at 1.2 pounds, the cover is also over 18mm thick, not necessarily small. It also does not include back-lit keys, which the standard Type covers do.
The Covers were announced back in October when the company unveiled their new tablets.
Microsoft is making the Power Covers available in the U.S., Japan and Canada first. In the U.S. it will retail for $199.
