This cover is a very nice color and fits my Samsung tablet perfectly. It folds in different positions so I can use my tablet to type or read. The elastic strap holds it closed while not in use. I would definitely buy it again and would recommend it to my friends.

I purchased my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.5" S the day before Black Friday (thank you, Best Buy Price Match), and at that time there was not a huge selection of affordable covers for the device.
I did not want to leave the store without "protection" for the device, so I used my phone to search the web for an option that wouldn't kill my budget. Amazon had many to choose from, but I did find one item on the Best Buy website that was reasonably priced: Belkin's Tri-Fold Cover. I will be the first to tell you that every negative thing they say about tri-fold covers is true: There is little to no edge protection, there are very few extra features, and the cover is not made of premium materials. However; I must also say that if you are limited by funds and would like to buy a cover in a store rather than ordering it online and waiting for it to arrive, the Belkin Tri-Fold is your item.
PROS:
* Offers protection of the front and back of the tablet
* Outer materials seem quite durable and scratch-resistant
* Inner materials are soft and won't scratch your screen
* Secure fastening mechanism for the tablet which also releases quickly
* Cover secures closed with elastic strap
* Moderately stylish
* Attractive and secure stitching of materials
* Perfect fit for Galaxy Tab S (cutouts are properly placed)
* Great Price
CONS:
* Very little edge protection - corners of device are exposed at two drop points when cover is closed
* Faux leather
* Cover easily slips out of tri-fold upright viewing position
* Only two viewing positions available - flat and upright
If you were keeping track of the PROS and CONS, you may have noticed that by my measure, the PROS outweigh the CONS. I cannot say how durable the cover will prove to be, but as I write this review a month and a half later, I am still satisfied with my purchase.
I highly recommend this product for the budget-conscious tablet owner - get it while supplies last.

Overall, this is a nice case and a great value at only $17.99 instead of the usual $49.95 retail price.
Pro: nice feel, well made quality typical of Belkin. It is fairly light and slim and fits my Samsung Tab S 10.5 very well.
Cons: This model of Belkin case doesn't have a magnetic closure that turns the tablet on and off automatically when you open and close the case and I miss that one feature.
But overall, for the money spent I am very happy with my investment.

This cover fits exactly and is able to hold and view my tablet horizontally, vertically, or propped up on a table. The material is rugged and easy to clean and has held up for several months so far with no visible signs of wear. It has protected my tablet perfectly. All of the ports, buttons, camera, and cutouts are all correctly aligned.

Im a minamalist this just works, doesnt have the snaps or the magnet closure like the samsung did however it is still a very protective case and sits up well. Doesnt kill the battery because no magnet closure much better design for my needs.

Product is a nice color, true to the picture and appears to be decent quality, but unfortunately it did not fit the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 My mistake for not reading the description properly. BestBuy happily refunded it and i found another one on their site that fit my Tab Pro 8.4

Has a sleek, comfortable design for carrying and protecting the tablet. Happy to have options other than black or white. Biggest setback with this is the folding for use as a tablet stand is not very stable. The seams are too stiff for it to stay in position well. The fit to the tablet is pretty good, but not perfect. Snug, but slightly offset on one corner. Works well for handling and transporting in my backpack without worry. The seams would probably break in better with more use.

The folder is a good protector for the tablet as it's very sturdy. The Tri-Fold though is where this product flops. It doesn't fold nicely where you can use it as a stand. Whenever you fold it up to use as a stand it kind of just flattens out and never stays in place for more than a few seconds. If you drop the tablet or something lands on it, it will protect you from that

I bought this case for a temporary use until I found something that came with a keyboard. The case was slim fitting and did what I needed it to do. The only problem is that there was a difficult time for it to be propped up kick stand style. However I do not use my table in that way so it was good for a protected cover.

It works as a cover / protector for the tablet, but it has some issues with different stances.
Pro: The cover is tri-fold, so you can use it in different view positions. You are not limited to just one. Simple. Light weight.
Con: There is no way to stand it up if reading in portrait view.

This cover fit well, but the various tilt positions are not as stable as they could be. You can experiment with trying positions that were not shown in the sales info. A 30 degree tilt works fairly well, but a 60 degree tends to flop down. For the price, and if mostly you hand hold then it is a good buy.

What more can I say except it fits well, feels durable, and does the job?
But I ask WHY does everything have to be made in China? Can't we make anything ourselves anymore?

Great tablet protection. Easy to put on. I like the elastic strap that easily flips around to keep the cover closed. The strap also acts like a little holder when the protector is open and props up the device.
