How to Attach Tablet to Cover? The tablet has 2 little silver disks on the back. They are slightly compressible. When I bought the cover/keyboard I assumed the tablet 'clicked' into the cover to hold it in place but either I'm doing something wrong or it doesn't work. The tablet slides out of the keyboard & the whole point of having a keyboard ATTACHED to the tablet has been missed by Samsung. Am I mistaken? Does anyone have any tips on securing the tablet to the cover?

I thought that I had the same problem when I first got mine. The snaps are very strong and hold the tablet quite securely. It is easier to attach when placing the open cover on a hard surface like a table. Align the tablet snap's divets on the cover. You have to press hard directly on the tablet over each snap until it clicks.

Place the tablet and cover where you can see the silver disks (2) or indentations. Try to align one of them first then swing the cover so the other one lines up and press on it. I put the tablet face down on a wood desk. Then put the cover on top trying to align the disks. You have to press hard and when you have it in the slot you will hear a click. Be careful to not press overly hard, you don't want to crack the tablet glass. Once you get it attached it works fine and stays on. Next time you have to put the cover on the tablet it will be easier.

Yes the 2 silver disk on the back are the connecting points to the keyboard. I had same issue but finally realized that you match it up to the tabs on the cover and have to use some force to snap them together. Once it snaps it will work like a charm.

Take it back to the store and make them do it! I had the same problem.

You have to line up very carefully and then push down hard to get it to click in. Once attached, it works great but was almost scary how hard I had to push. Be very careful.

You have to press really hard. At first I thought the same thing but I put on a flat surface align them then squeeze hard

They snap in, it takes strong fingers.

Place a folded towel on a table, place your s2 screen-down, and with just a wee bit force applied over the entire device (spread out the energy/pressure so you don't crack it) and align the magnets. Press until you hear click x2, and you're golden. Good luck!

i am using mine right now in my lap constantly moving it to accomodate 2 cats that want to occupy the same space....point being if it was gonna separate it would have in my opinion...i dont think it will ever come apart and it dosen't seem like it is made to do so...Samsung got mine right...

Are you trying to attach this keyboard to a Tab S2 9.7?

The required force is considerable to properly attach the pair...so much in fact i got a bath towel and placed my tablet face down on the dinner table (snaps up) to make sure i didn't break the glass...
