Tempered Glass for Surface 3
The Microsoft GW3-00001 is a tempered glass screen protector cut for the Surface 3. It guards the display against scratches, smudges and chips while preserving touch response. The accessory maintains full compatibility with the Surface Pen for inking and navigation. It is intended for owners who want a durable, transparent layer on their device.
Upgrading from film protectors
This protector replaces basic plastic films that can peel, bubble or scratch more easily. The glass construction adds rigidity and a smoother glide for the pen tip. The jump is worth it when you prefer a firmer writing feel and longer-lasting clarity. Buyers who need a privacy filter or anti-glare coating will not find those functions here.
Limits of a passive glass layer
The protector adds roughly 0.02 inches of thickness and 1.6 ounces of weight to the device. It does not alter the screen’s native brightness, colour output or viewing angles. Impact resistance is limited to the tempered glass rating; severe drops can still damage the underlying panel. The adhesive is designed for a single, precise application.

Questions about this item
Will the 10.4" x 7.2" tempered glass protector fit my Surface 3 exactly?
Yes, the protector is cut to 10.4" x 7.2" x .02" and weighs 1.6 ounces, matching the Surface 3 display area precisely.
How do I apply the tempered glass without trapping dust bubbles?
Clean the screen with the included wipe, align the protector using the guide tabs, then lower it slowly from one edge; the step most people rush is the initial alignment before contact.
When should I replace the protector if it gets scratched or chipped?
Replace it once scratches affect pen accuracy or chips reach the display edge; the tempered glass sacrifices itself so the Surface 3 screen stays intact.
