Full disclosure, I just got this in the mail today so reviewing durability and protection is difficult on a first impression. Pros: Case is snug and seems to protect my Galaxy tab s6 just fine. Hand strap on the back is pretty useful. Materials seem good quality so I'm not expecting them to wear out fast. Cons: nothing that I could find mentioned a built in screen protector. I was trying to find a good solid case without one. Stupid idea to have one built in and I dealt with it for years on my last case (OtterBox Defender). Yes it protects the glass from scratching, but any solid user knows that if the screen protection isn't attached to the glass you get a blurred screen from the distortion! If I wanted to put a glass protector on my screen I would've bought the best one on the market for it, now if I'm going to use this I have to take it off, and probably void any warranty that came with it. Not to mention that with my experience with my last case, if you remove the screen protector the tablet will get scuffed around the edges where the case meets the screen because it wasn't meant to be pulled off (it takes some time for this to happen but I didn't buy this tablet to use for only a year). Also, the kickstand only really works in two positions as the third one is nearly identical to the second and the forth position is hysterical cause the device just tips over from weight (one of the pictures shows how it tips over if you don't hold it up). My last concern is the charging port cover, it doesn't have an easy to pull design so unless you have nails it's a little difficult to open, plus it's really hard to put the cable into the device because the port cover isn't designed to have the cable naturally pass next to it, I found it either catches the cable making you have to hold it open with your other hand or if the main part of the connector is already past the cover and you accidentally release it, it will seriously hinder you finding the usb port by feel because it's pushing it aside. I've owned a half dozen cases over the years that have charging port covers and this is by far the hardest to use. I tried to include a picture with the blurring that happens when you press down on the screen, and yes I've cleaned the screen several times along with using scratch and lint free screen wipes.

I was reluctant to purchase due to the built-in screen protector but after trying it out, I notice very little difference between it and the actual screen. The only thing I don't like is how it feels to use the S-Pen against the screen as it feels and sounds like I'm scratching it but it doesn't appear so. On the bright side, the screen protector looks like it can be removed without visually damaging the case but don't expect a return or warranty if you do that.
It gives the tablet and it's holder a professional look,
I love that and I imagine it'd be great for presentations, especially with the 360° handle, which was the main selling point for me. One con to the case is that you lose the ability to place your S-Pen on the side of the tablet but the slot for the pen that finally keeps it in place while charging makes up for that in my opinion. The case does a great job at hiding the borders of the screen which I don't like to see personally. The kickstand feels a little flimsy when setting up but it's good once it's locked in place. There's no interference with the S6's awesome speakers. Most importantly, the case feels secure and I wouldn't worry if I dropped it from standing height.

Great Design but screen protector makes it useless

It has a great drop-proof design, and the best SPen protection I have found - however - anytime you use the SPen, even very lightly, it deeply scratches the built-in screen protector - it's not even subtle & makes it very difficult to see the screen in a lighted room. It is impossible to use in any kind of daylight. I've attempted to contact best buy customer service several times since I noticed the issue (which was immediately upon receiving it) and can not seem to finish a conversation via chat before it cuts out and I can not reach anyone on the phone. Hopefully it's just a dud, going to keep trying customer service, will update if possible.

Amazing case. Screen protector = thumbs down!

I got this for my husband's tablet and we both absolutely love the case itself. Although, there is a small imperfection that stuck out at the bottom edge of the screen. It was easy to use a razor to cut it off, though. The hand strap on the back is handy for holding and is very secure, but it also makes it impossible to lay the tablet flat on a surface. The built-in stand is also nice to have.
Sadly, the screen protector is pretty bad. My husband can no longer use the fingerprint reader because it won't work with it on the tablet. Plus, it makes the screen look weird in some spots. I don't know how to describe it. It's not air bubbles but more like air swirls. My husband plans to use a razor to cut out the entire protector because it makes the tablet very hard to use.
Overall, this is a nice case -- well-made, stylish, and convenient. It just needs a little tweaking to make it perfect.

This is basically like the Otterbox Defender series case for the Galaxy Tab S6.
It has a plastic screen protector, which can be somewhat detrimental for the fingerprint scanner so your results will vary with regards to it.
Ideally, this is good for users who will need the ability to hold the tablet with a strap for security.
Kick stand wise, I think it could be a little better, as it is a small 'foot' and any hard tapping on the tablet while using the kickstand may be unbalanced, mostly on the upper left or right hand side of the tablet while it has the kickstand.
My only other problem with it is the USB-C port cover, while it is there to help protect that port from dust, my normal usage is hooking up power most of the time to the tablet that it is a slight hinderance.

I bought a cheaper cover for my new Tab S6, and started having issues within a week. Decided to try this, even though it was more expensive, because I liked the design (no cover).
Pros: Heavy duty protection, no issues in over a month, handle that rotates, kick stand for tabletop use.
Cons: Slightly heavy due to two piece design, kickstand only works in landscape orientation.
Note:
It came with an odd blue tinted clear plastic screen protector (for industrial use?) that was a little difficult to remove. I did not want one due to the in screen fingerprint scanner on the S6. Once removed, it has been perfect.

The built-in screen protector: FIXED
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
It took me about 5 minutes but I was able to use a scalpel to remove the screen protector and the glue from the case without damaging it at all. If you're careful and don't bend the protector, it can easily be added back on using your choice of adhesive (I suggest clear glue that works primarily on glass/plastic like "5 Second Fix")
The protector is a very thin sheet of plastic so there's no noticeable difference when it's removed from the case other than seeing your Tab S6's beautiful display unhindered and you have enough room in there to add your own screen protector.
I must stress that doing this voids your warranty so do so at your own risk, this tip is for those who don't plan on returning the case but are displeased with the screen protector like I was.

This case is much more than I expected. The clear glass shield for the screen is so much better than the stick on types and the rotating hand strap is super convenient. On the negative side the pop-out stand needs to be at least 1/2 to 3/4 inch longer so the tablet screen will stand more erect. There were no instructions on how to open the case (it's a bear) but the actual positioning of the tablet inside the case was obvious.

This is a very rugged cover and provides excellent protection. It was a little difficult to disassemble to get it on the tablet and will be just as difficult to get off, so you won't want to do that. Be sure to install your micro SD card and screen protector before putting this cover on. It also has a dust cover which has a blue tint. i had to adjust my display properties due to this and reapply my fingerprints. It is sometimes hard to see outside because of this.

Scratched screen cover

Pro--I love the fact that this case has the built in loop on the back so I can easily hold my tablet in my left hand while using the stylus to write with my right hand (or do other things). I originally bought the book cover type of case, and it was basically worthless as there was no way to secure the tablet into the case. This case is offers sturdy protection.
Con--the screen covering came with a huge scratch from top to bottom, so while it protects my tablet's screen, the scratch disrupts the display. If we were not in a pandemic, I would return it to my local store. As is, I am just trying to ignore the scratch.

Makes it so easy to carry my tablet with me. The S-pen stays attached instead of popping off the back. I have nearly dropped it twice but the case prevented impact. It was the best idea to get this case.

The blue screen sucks when it comes to watching TV or playing games. The kickstand is the best part. MY OPINION DO NOT BUY THIS!!! It does not protect your tablet im am currently on my THIRD replacement. If it gets dropped by a small child the tablet will be damaged. If theu sit on it the screen will break. So IMO stay away from this. to bad they wont refund me for my 2 replacement tablets. Smh

Love love love this case, keeps the stylus safe and the tablet even safer. The plastic cover that comes with it is garbage, but I cut that out and put a glass cover on and it makes the whole experience perfect. Really like the hand strap for stability while writing and other activities.
