Great looking product with major flaws.

At first glance, a very nice, well-made case. It fits perfectly and offers adequate protection, and the keyboard itself is comfortable to type on. Set up was pretty easy too, although getting the device out of the case was a little harder than I'd like, but that's a minor thing depending on your taste. However, this is not a case I would recommend in its current incarnation. For starters, storing a keyboard in a case makes me a little nervous. There doesn't seem to be anything that really keeps the buttons from touching the screen, and if you don't have protection on the screen then you're probably as worried about screen damage as I am. I've kept the keyboard separate for the most part as I use this device mostly at home, between my office and the sofa where I sometimes draw or take notes. I would have already sent this purchase back if it had been packaged. By the way, it took me a little bit to find out who is to blame and at one point I wanted to contact Samsung, thinking that there was something wrong with the device, but quite by accident I discovered that the problem was in the lid itself. . Simply put, if you use a tab with an S Pen to take notes then skip this product. The magnets on the lid seem to interfere with the Pen S's recognition, and "push" recognition to certain parts of the screen when you twist the lid back. The effect isn't necessarily extreme, but it's bad enough that it gets messy when you're writing notes. For example, if you draw straight lines on a device, you'll see a few "bubbles" where the lines are slightly away from it. It might be a minor issue for some, but for me it's an absolute deal breaker.

Pros
  • Slim design for maximum protection with minimum volume. The adjustable stand securely holds the Tab A 10.1 with S Pen in landscape mode. Hard-wearing imitation leather bag with non-slip, rubberized inner lining. The premium polycarbonate shell keeps your tablet in place and absorbs drops and bumps.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
