Best case you can get

I've been buying these Spigen Tough Armor cases in the same style since the Galaxy Note 4. I love how they look and feel and are very consistent. over the years. If there's one thing I hope Spigen will continue to do, it's NOT changing the look of this case. Keep up the good work and I will always buy them. Wireless charging receiver A thin external Qi wireless charging receiver can be added to this case, but the special receiver I received for the Tab A 8.4" (2020) is too thick (https://smile.amazon. com/gp /product/B087P3T5BF /ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00 ), and although it fits into the case, its circuitry sticks out far enough to press against the back of the tablet and you can see the pressure building the screen (as if you long press the screen) To solve this problem and get a millimeter of extra internal space, I had to modify the case by disassembling it, pulling out the inner soft section and cutting a giant square for the wireless charging receiver off - which I don't recommend unless you know what you're doing and only if you really have to do it absolutely flat, doesn't protrude from behind, doesn't protrude from under the tablet right And since only the soft inner lid is cut, the hard backplate completely covers it - no trace of modification. if you prefer direct magnetic connections. This makes the fixation significantly stronger, but with exposed metal plates on the back. I have metal plates inside the case that sit between the hard plastic cover and the softer inner case. That's enough for my installation needs in my car. I find the Tab A too heavy to fully and securely mount inside the case with metal plates, but since I place the bottom of my tablet on an old CD holder, the magnets on my wireless charger hold it in place. The tablet is very stable so it doesn't move when I stop and walk or hit bumps in the road (tested and confirmed to work great). /product/B08L3D3C48/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00 ) really holds the tablet tight in this case by using only internal metal plates. Not sure if it will hold up if I hit any bumps so I added the support as above. However, the case has a very grippy back and my wireless charger has a very grippy front, so together they're pretty grippy. I have to use some force to make the tablet slide off. Overall this is a GREAT case that works with wireless charging and a magnetic mount; it looks good, it's quite thin compared to others, and I think you'll like it once you pick it up. The quality is the best.
