GreenLaw Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Plus Keyboard case, 7 Color Backlit, Magnetic Detachable, Smart Touchpad, S Pen Holder, SM-X810/X816B/X818U for Samsung Tab S9+ 12.4 inch 2023, Black

5 Stars on this product, but with an asterisk. While I think it’s a great buy and maybe even a must-buy as a full-on keyboard accompaniment plus cover to the S7+ (which is what I have), I think that this review would have been more complete if I could’ve also tinkered with the official Samsung-sold keyboard (which I didn’t) and then have written this review comparing one to the other. That said, this is an incredible value at $60 and worth purchasing if only to try it out. You’ll have a month (per Amazon’s return policy) to decide whether or not to return it if not satisfied. But, I’m sure that you’ll be happy with this purchase. Not only does it perform the way you would expect, but the official Samsung-sold keyboard is running about $150+ (as of this writing) at places like Amazon and Best Buy and Samsung’s own website. What I do like: o It does everything that a keyboard should do. o Love the backlit keyboard. And this is an extra feature that the official Samsung-sold keyboard does not have. BTW, thank goodness, though, for the video review on how to turn on the backlit keyboard. That had me stumped because I was just pressing Fn + A/S/D per the enclosed instructions. BUT, you need to press the light bulb key (to the left of the HOME key near the bottom right) first to turn on the lights. *facepalm* There are three illumination levels and the colors do pop. o I like how the keyboard is secured by magnets to the cover. In fact, if you hold up the tablet cover with the keyboard magnetically attached and have the keyboard dangle perpendicular to the ground, the keyboard does not fall to the ground. o Keyboard feels sturdy enough. It doesn’t flex nor does it seem like you can just break it in half. o Bluetooth connection is very strong. I could still operate the keyboard when standing 10’ away from the S7+ (although I’m not sure why you would do that). o I like that this comes with a USB-C charging cord, although I’m not sure how much juice it churns out. I posed this question on the Q&A forum but did not get a response. In any case, one can never have too many of these charging cords nowadays. o My S7+ does indeed fit snuggly into the cover case, so no issues with fitment. o When you close up the cover by closing the flap over the S-Pen, there are magnets to keep the flap in its closed position. Some things to note (and this is where the asterisk comes to play): o Keyboard came out of the box warped ever-so-slightly. It doesn’t affect my ability to type and to be productive. But, to my naked eye, you can oh-so-subtly make out a teensy-tiny curvature along the plane of the keyboard. It’s not a deal-breaker for me, and I just chalk this up to this being a $60, made-in-China device. o I wished that there was some kind of shortcut (like a Fn+F12) that allows you to enter/exit DeX mode (or maybe there is and I just hadn’t found it when writing this review…). There is a shortcut key on the official Samsung-sold keyboard. But, I don’t think this has that. So, I have to enter DeX the slow way – by swiping down the notifications bar in the upper right of the tablet and then pressing DeX. I did also pose this question on the Q&A forum, but there weren’t any responses received. o I wished that, as with so many other Bluetooth devices, there was some kind of meter that could provide a sense of how much internal battery life was left before the keyboard “dies”. I did see in the Q&A section someone asking about battery life and that a respondent said that it provided 60 hours of typing time. But, it would be nice to have a meter of some kind show up somewhere. There is a small light that comes on when you plug in the USB-C charging cord though. But that just shows green when fully charged and red when it’s less than 100%. Maybe it would’ve been nice if there were four colors to help the user gauge how much battery power was left (red/orange/yellow/green) or if remaining battery life info could be included within the Bluetooth info page (when entering the notifications bar by swiping the top of the tablet down) like how the Jabra products do it. o Regarding the magnetized flap, I do wish that the magnets were a little bit stronger. Now, admittedly, I’ve only had the keyboard for a few days and have only used it for a short period of time. Also, my S7+ is not my primary productivity tool. I do have a laptop, but I purchased the S7+ so that I could take it with me when on overnight trips (it’s smaller and lighter than the laptop). So, I am not a heavy user of the keyboard – I primarily return emails or draft some basic correspondence. But in my short time with it, I can say: If you have an S7+, if this is not a must-have item, this is then a must-try item … For me, I find it to be as critical as having a protective phone cover for your smartphone in addition to being an indispensable productivity tool. Time will tell whether this will continue to perform as well as it has out of the box. But there’s no reason not to purchase this $60 product and to give it a go for the duration of the warranty period.

I was having trouble deciding what keyboard to buy for my Samsung tablet and finally landed on this one. I've now used it enough and decided it works well for my needs. However I do have large hands and it is somewhat difficult to use. Still works great though. Attaches quickly to the table and all the keys works great. Battery is very adequate for my needs. I recommend.

This one had the features I required: Backlit keys, sturdy case that protects s-pen when closed, and multi-touch touchpad. It seems good for the price. However, I wish (as is so often the case with inexpensive electronics) a better manual. I am left with many questions, which I am now trying to resolve via trial and error. The desktop keys (move around desktop and switch between desktops) are intuitive. Many other things are not Example, how do you emulate the "navigate" functions (usually on-screen or near-on-screen touches to screen. Is there a key board means to emulate the three "navigation" buttons of android? The idea behind the touchpad keyboard was to be able to do things without touching the screen. The back or escape function is frequently used, but not intuitive on this keyboard. (e.g. the top left corner button would be intuitive as would a combo key like "FN" or command with the ). What are the "option" keys supposed to do? What are the "command" keys supposed to do? How about a warning about the delete key when you ae on a desktop. {Advice - lock the desktop since delete quickly removes apps and widgets from the desktop without confirmation. Link to instructions on product page: good idea - but you used iPad instead of the appropriate Android instructions. Hey- dealer or product manager - how about hosting a little web presence for users to help each other on these items?

Great keyboard case! Bought it for my son's first tablet, and it works perfectly for a kid. Easy to fold, durable material, and very practical. I was so pleased that I got another one for my daughter. Highly recommend!

I got his case because I wanted a backlit keyboard case for my Tablet. The tablet fits nicely, but I'm not a fan of the detachable keyboard. It's held on by weak magnets, which allows the keyboard to fall off easily. I wish the case had a kickstand instead of having to remove the keyboard to position the tablet. Also, I've noticed recently that the tablet does not turn off when the case is closed. Not sure why, but the screen definitely stays on. It turns off with my other tablet cases. That needs to be fixed. It adds a little bulk to your tablet, but overall it's ok. Just not exactly what I wanted. Luckily, I didn't spend too much money.

I cruise a lot and do IT support and programming and was tired of bringing my laptop. I coupled this case with a Galaxy Tab S8+ and am very happy with it. It is attractive, compact and functional. I use a compact Microsoft Arc Mouse, so I don't use the trackpad often. The case is nice when I want to use the tablet as a laptop (with Teamviewer), but too bulky for when I want to use the tablet as a tablet. When I want to just read or edit photos I slip the tablet into a Zuslab Transparent Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ and up on deck. My only dislike is that the backlight goes off after 10 seconds and doesn't come back on until you actually enter a key stroke.

I'm going to get straight to the point. The hundreds of 5 star reviews are for a different product and are misleading. The case has magnets that are used to latch it in place, however the magnets interfere with the screen itself and create massive dead zones where you are unable to write on the screen. However, if you don't care about using it for writing, the case might actually be worth it, as it feels pretty decent and hasn't had any tears so far. However it is somewhat a pain to get out of the case, and once again THE MAGNETS INTERFERE WITH THE SCREEN. I have no clue how they manufactured this without just testing the tablets with the case on. The keyboard it comes with is very cheap looking, but gets the job done, the trackpad lowkey gets in the way, but it has backlighting and feels pretty alright to type on. The battery life doesn't seem like anything to write home about. The keyboard can connect to multiple different devices via using the hotkeys (if you forget thes key's themself have a symbol that tell you what they do when you press them while holding down the function keys.) The product itself seems to be whitelisted and doesn't have any branding on the box and is shipped from china. TLDR: ABSOLUTELY do not buy if you plan to write using the pen as the magnets create deadzones. Otherwise it could be a good deal. Further Note : This is not a tablet problem; other buyers have said that it does the same thing, and there is no deadzones when you remove the tablet from the case, furthemore using a piece of metal I was able to locate where the magnets are placed and they line up with the deadzones that they create.

It has worked great for me so far.
