Good keyboard/case combo

I recently did a review on the Samsung S2, which I bought this case for. While I was looking at the S2, a salesperson showed me this case/keyboard combo. The price did shock me, so to be frank, if you are only looking for a basic keyboard and case, then this product probably isn't for you. It costs more than some entry level tablets!
But, it does have some features that, when combined with the S2, make for a great product. First off, there is the track pad. When using a tablet for productivity reasons, such as word processing or an excel sheet, I have always hated having to touch the screen which takes my hands off of the keyboard. The track pad basically adds mouse capability to the android platform. I don't use it all the time, but when I want it, it's nice to have.
It is also very easy to connect and then re-connect. You can connect this up to two devices, and then reconnect with the push of a button. There are two Bluetooth buttons on the keyboard, and depending on which one you pushed to initially sync the device, you can then simply push that same button later on to re-connect. Quick and easy. Battery life has so far been great. I charged it up 2 weeks ago, and haven't had to charge it since with basic normal use.
The keyboard can be quickly detached from the cover as it is held magnetically. When I want to start using the tablet as more entertainment (reading, watching movies, etc), I like being able to remove the keyboard and thus reducing the weight of the cover. This cover/keyboard combo weighs quite a bit more than the S2 tablet does, so I like being able to reduce the weight.
The one downside, other than price, is attaching the S2 tablet to the cover/keyboard case. There are two set points on the case that fit into two corresponding holes on the back of the S2 tablet. They fit VERY snug, requiring you to push quite hard on the tablet to get them to go in. Make sure that they are aligned or you will scratch the tablet or cause other damage. It was definitely more pressure than I was comfortable with initially. But, I have removed the tablet from the case a couple of times and so far, no breaking. But, it still isn't something that I plan on doing a lot.
So, overall, if you are willing to pay a bit more for a case/keyboard combo that provides real functionability, then this is the case for you.

This is a very good cover/keyboard for those who use their tablets as a laptop replacement. The keyboard is a good size and is easy to connect to the tablet. I ended up exchanging it for a different case because I didn't need a laptop alternative. This case was also too heavy for my needs, and I didn't like taking the keyboard out and risking it getting messed out somehow. Would still recommend it for people wanting a combo case.

Love the keyboard. The keys have a decent amount of travel and it is easy to get a feel for them when I am typing.. It's a fairly tight keyboard, but you get used to the differences in typing pretty quickly. I like the controls across the top, including the ability to toggle the trackpad on and off via the F10 key. I also like the fact that the keyboard has it's own battery - which seems to last a long time - and the fact that it snaps securely on to the back of the case of the tablet. Easy to use and makes my tablet into the perfect portable laptop.

I bought this case the same day as my tablet. It was nice a little confusing with no pictures on how to attach, I like the compact fit and ease of use. Don't like keyboard as much as would have thought. gets in the way during book reading position. On of button poor placement and hard to tell if it has a full charge. . .until it is dead. I would recommend getting the case without the keyboard. . . Just Saying!

Great match for the Galaxy Tab S2. Magnetic catches seals the top and turns off the tab, saving battery power. Key board is precise and comfortable. Only con- if reading in portrait mode and the cover is folded behind the tab, the tab turns off as it was covered. One need to hold the cover slightly away from the unit if reading in portrait mode.

I like having the keyboard with a mouse pad. But it doesn't come with a charger. No instructions so I had to go to YouTube to find out how to install it. It stopped connecting to my tablet so I had to return it to Samsung to get it repaired. Hopefully it'll work properly when it comes back.

I wanted a cover for my new Samsung Galaxy Tab s2 9.7. This works well. You can easily remove the keyboard from the cover to reduce bulk and use the tab just in touch mode. Getting the tab attached to the cover takes some effort.

The stand cover works as advertised. The keyboard is large enough, with out adding to much weight. The cover protects the tablet.

Purchased this keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy S2 after I spilled water on my last keyboard of a different brand. Keyboard works great and is very responsive. The battery life is excellent! I've had this keyboard for months and have yet to recharge it from its initial charge.

This keyboard is OK and has ideal features, but is expensive compared to off brands. Still a good addition to the tablet.

I bought the keyboard and keyboard cover as a package. The combination works great. I did have a little difficulty connecting the case to the back of the Samsung tablet. There are two snaps that connect to two receptacles on the back of the Samsung tablet. I had to press very hard in order to get the snaps to snap into place I was a little concerned that I might even break the screen as I was pushing but eventually I was able to get the case to snap in place. So be careful when you snap the case in place that you don't crack the screen.

This is the best protector for the s2 tablet since it keeps the combination of case and tablet very slim even with the addition of the keyboard. The keyboard works great and has a mouse pad included for when writing documents. The only draw back is that a flat surface is necessary to use and will be hard to use on lap.

The Tab S2 has a decent keyboard so this is really unnecessary unless you are using the tablet as you primary computer and you need to type lengthy documents.
The cover is great and can be folded into various positions.
I would have been perfectly happy with just a plain cover without the keyboard.

Much easier to type on this than the screen! I now use my tablet for almost anything! The only challenge is when it quit working for a bit. The Geek Squad helped me figure out a foolproof way to reconnect it though, and I'm back in business. Next step could be a mouse.....

The cover itself is fine and the keyboard is okay. I would not consider it to be incredibly responsive and at times it takes a slow effort to work as it is supposed to. I like that it detaches from the cover but overall I would say it is overpriced for what you get.

The keyboard itself is excellent. Blu-tooth connection pairs easily and reconnects without any effort when needed. The touch pad mouse provides mouse pointer support and the control keys provides convenient access for all functions. It is however thicker and heavier than the tablet itself. The cover snaps on to the tablet and also serves as a stand which is useful in many situations and convenient. However, the cover's magnetic connection for the keyboard and closure interferes with the tablet's compass making any apps which need an accurate compass useless when using the cover. As this cover snaps on to the tablet, it is not feasible to readily remove the cover when such apps need to be used.

This folio provides all the protection for my tablet I need. I read other reviews for a number of different protection folios and determined this to be the best for my budget and needs. I did not have any trouble or concerns attaching the tablet to the folio as mentioned in several of the reviews for this product. I guess that after having read them, I knew it would take a little "extra" force to snap the folio cover to the tablet. I did so without concern for breaking anything and had already applied the glass screen protector.

I spent a lot of time researching this product after purchasing the new S2 Tablet. I have to say it truly does it for me. The mousepad is an added feature I did not realize was a part of the keyboard. It does not add that much weight to the tablet, protects it, and it clips in pretty easily. Typing on the keyboard is pleasurable. It is a hefty price, but worth it.

Not only is this the thinnest folio I've seen but it's attractive and has a removable keyboard. The cover is also magnetic so in addition to the 3 viewing angles you can put it on any metal surface and still use it!
