Many appreciate the long battery life and the tablet's water resistance. However, some customers find the tablet to be somewhat heavy, and a few have noted that the sound quality could be improved. Overall, the positive feedback on key features outweighs the negative comments.

    I think I've had the device for more than year by this point. Convenience is King. I use it everywhere since I'm not afraid it'll get damaged and it's small enough and light enough to not be a burden. It is my main eBook reader. I use it to play mobile android games. It's a great journal with OneNote. The stylus is actually pretty nice for sketching. For me, the combo of tough+kindle made me carry it around all the time. Note taking or just writing became a nice additional thing to do with it. Once I started playing Mobile Legends it became my only gaming device for a while. It has become a staple in my technological life.

    I now use this tablet in place of my computer. Quick, easy to navigate, print from, watch video, light weight. Battery seems to last an adequate time considering I'm running podcast while surfing the web. Haven't had any issues yet. Screen is clear, bright. Just an overall nice unit. Simple to use. I love mine. I think you will too.

    I checked the reviews and specs on the " Samsung Galaxy Tab Active" before purchasing it. The things I liked the most were that the tablet was durable and that the battery was replaceable. When I received the tab active ,I was pleasantly surprised. The tablet felt comfortable in my hands and the screen resolution was better than most of the other tablets I've used. And the fact that I purchased the samsung galaxy active on sale made it even a greater value . Setup was a breeze and the fact that there is a shock resistant case and a c stylus that come with it makes it very useful to me . My children also love using it. I give the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5 stars.

    This tablet is very light and sturdy at the same time. I love the protective case it comes with (heavy duty) yet it still has the stylish look. The c pen is a plus. Very bright and clear screen and great sound for a tablet. Great for watching movies on the go. Recommend it.

    Best feature (water resistant)! I am constantly in the shower or Hot tub to relieve back pain and now can read or watch movies while relaxing in wet environment's. So far works great processing payroll through my Workday app, reviewing Power point presentations, Excel spreadsheets and other apps required for business. It doesn't have the best processor, graphics or memory of some other tablets but still handles all tasks I have thrown at it without any issues. In the last month I have dropped this tablet at least 3 times on concrete, once in the sand on a beach and submersed in water (accidently) twice! Please note that I do not use the cover that came with it (too bulky) and it still holds up to the minor drops I've subjected it to. Yes, I am hard on my tablets and phones. This is my 7th tablet in 2 years, finally found one that takes my abuse! Love my tablet!

    I love this tablet. I have trouble holding things because of problems with my hands . This tablet is much easier to hold because of the tough case. A little heavier than some other tablets. It's very fast and has a great display.

    If you want something that really lasts those dropping and getting wet.. better buy this.. My daughter just poured her water all over this tab, dropped like many times already. Still working just fine. I like how it came with a protective cover and a pen.

    This is is a great tablet for someone who is tough and likes their electronics to be rugged and durable. I work in construction, and I use my tablet everyday. I have dropped it many times, and things have dropped on it several times. The tablet is still in great shape, and still works like the first day I bought it. The tablet is also very fast, and you will be able to get a lot done on it.

    It’s Jan 2018 and I bought this tablet on Oct 2016 and it still is scratchless like new. I have 2kids who use this tablet (they already broke 2 Galaxy tab 4, 3 kindles, 1 galaxy tab lite, 1 Nabi) I prove my point. Amazing product!!!!! The bumper on saved that tablet from multiple falls. The screen is made of a scratchless glass.

    Needed some new tablets for our office and these rugged Samsung tablets were perfect. Got 3 at a great price of 199.99 each and have been very pleased with their performance and love that it came with a case and stylus. Been a fan of Samsung Tablets since my Tab S and still using it. Works Great and love it!

    Have had a Samsung S5 active phone for over 2 years and love that it is water and shock resistance so when I saw there was a tablet version it was no brainer to buy. It is not as light or sleek as some tablets but I know that if I drop it or get it wet it should be fine. Has meet all my expectations so far.

    I could not believe the price of this tablet. It was so good I bought two of them. I started looking for a good tablet for my wife and ended up buying one for myself also. The battery life of this tablet is exceptional. I use mine all day and still have 30% battery life left. I have two other tablets. Both need to be charged after four hours of operation. There is nothing bad to say about this tablet. It is exceptional. I would buy it again.

    My dad bought this tablet and absolutely loves it. He kept buying the Digiland Tablets and realized those aren't great. I told him spend a little more money and he's glad he did. It charges super fast and has all the features he wants. He loves using it to cast his screen to the TV. He also loved that the rugged case came with it as well as the stylus. He swore he'd never use a stylus but I don't think I've seen him use it without it. Perfect for his need of constant emailing, websurfing, and casting.

    How good the device is depends largely on how much you spent on it. It's older technology which is both good and bad. Somewhat outdated specs and terrible camera, but also a memory card and removeable battery. While it may not be the newest thing one should keep in mind that it was originally made as a top of the line tablet so you see much better build quality than the many budget brand tablets. Resolution is not mind blowing, but it's not terrible. Everything is clear and legible and at a resolution that is going to give you good battery life.
