Review on Fintie Slim Stand Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 - Supports 3 Viewing Angles with Auto Sleep/Wake Feature - Black, for Tab S2 8.0 Inch Tablet by Caleb Eichbauer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Plastic rips for general use.

I bought this suitcase at the beginning of May and was enthusiastic in the first few weeks. I bought it mainly because the front flap is magnetized and wraps around the back of the tablet when closed. It's also more comfortable to hold as the magnets hold the lid in place when the tablet is in use, preventing the tablet from sliding around on it. The case turned out to be of good quality, especially considering the price. However, after a few weeks of use, I noticed that the plastic in the left corners of the case was starting to get tiny cracks. The situation gradually worsened, and now the plastic is mostly crumbling and chipping. For a few weeks, there probably won't be enough plastic left to hold the tablet in its case. This only happened with general wear and tear - I don't handle the tablet/case roughly or throw it in bags or whatever so I'm a little shocked by that. I really wanted to like the case but ended up being a disappointment. Update 7/9/17: I've just received a new case from the seller which was a pleasant surprise. I've upgraded my rating from two stars to three in response to the excellent customer service. 7/25: I noticed microcracks appearing in the left corners of the replacement case within a few days of use. The plastic at the corners is now beginning to splinter, just like my first case. If you're looking for this type of case, you're probably better off going for the official version.
