Samsung - Galaxy Tab S8+, Tab S7+ Book Cover Keyboard - EF-DT970UBEGUJ - Black

First, when I initially started using this keyboard I thought I had a bad keyboard. Sometimes when I used it, it failed to register keystrokes. I would have to stop and go back and press the keys again. I was actually about to go back to the store and exchange it for the same keyboard thinking I had a lemon. Luckily, I found someone online that had the same issue, and had a fix. It requires you to disable bounce keys. This feature tries to prevent accidental key presses. Once I toggled this off, the issue I was having with it disappeared. The case aspect is great, the magnetic, kickstand back is great, and I enjoy using the tablet like this most of the time. The keyboard magnetically snaps in place when you need it and easily folds all the way back when you don't need it again. The touchpad also works really well. Another side note to mention is that I really like that when you connect the keyboard you get a popup to see if you want to enable DEX mode. If you have never used Dex you should do yourself a favor and give it a shot. It really makes the tablet into a productivity device. This is what other tablets should aspire to, and this is coming from someone who used another brand of a tablet for many years. Great keyboard, a great trackpad, great kickstand case. The only thing I would say is negative is that this is not a case to protect the tablet from a drop, mainly just to increase productivity and protect the screen when you are not using it.

The Keyboard Bookcover is a must have if you use the Tab S7+. I have found that the S7 and S7+ official keyboard book cover is better than the S6's as it connects via magnet and no longer has that adhesive which was very disappointing. The keyboard easily connects to your Tab and you sets up Dex for you to use. The travel on the S7+ was really good (I have small hands), and I felt that the trackpad, although very plastic feel, was very responsive. The viewing angles can be adjusted as it has the same kickstand design like the Surface Pro 7 line. This does feel awkward if you are trying to type o nyoru lap instead of a raised larger surface (i.e. desk). On the back, above the kickstand, is a slot where you can store teh S-pen so it would charge and not get lost. The one major con about the official keyboard book cover is the cost. Original MSRP is $199 but I was able to purchase it on sale at Best Buy for $119. At that price it was a no brainer. Overall, this is a must have accessory if you have the Tab S7+. This allows better productivity.

I wouldn't buy for full price, but it's a great keyboard attachment system. Fit and finish perfect. Keyboard is nice to type on. I wouldn't want to drop the tablet as this is not for protection really. If I could improve it I would like back lit keys and more protection from potential drops and damage. I found on sale for nearly half off and that's much close to eat you should pay for this, if not less. It's fantastic, but not worth over $200.

A number of months now into owning the Samsung S7 plus, I i be using my tablet as often as I do without the Samsung keyboard and case. As with nearly every review I've read, using the keyboard with Samsung DEX really expands the potential of the tablet. The DEX experience, owes it's look and feel to Windows. Many of the functions from Windows are used to good effect here: opening and resizing Windows, the ability to pin tasks and apps to a Taskbar, etc. The keyboard is lacking rear lit keys which is why only 4 stars but it does have a dedicated row of Function Keys that's extremely helpful. The only true downside isn't Samsung's fault - it's just that Google hasn't been all that interested in developing the Tablet platform and the apps that populate it, So some of your more familiar and favorite apps from your Android phone might appear differently than they do in Android - land. Hopefully, all the great work Samsung put into making this tablet a worthy competitor to Apple will cause Google to re-evaluate their estimation of Android on tablets. As I wrote at the beginning of of this piece, I spend nearly all my time on the tablet using DEX and that's because the keyboard makes it so easy. I thought the keyboard was very high-priced until I discovered Best Buy's price. That price was better but IMO its still high for a keyboard. However, if you get the keyboard case , I think you'll agree its money well spent . And I believe you'll find for the price you've literally doubled the possibilities of your tablet.

The product exceeded my expectations. The innovation I have been wanting to have. It's user-friendly.
