SAMSUNGGalaxy Tab (S7/S7 5G) Book Cover Keyboard, EF-DT870UBEGUJ, Black

a bit of background, I am a technician where I need to have customers sign off on work orders, refer to diagrams or sheets for reference while doing some of the work I am assigned.it's great for my emailing, chatting on teams and holding conversations over bluetooth. I found that, for the screen size and the battery life, I can manage off of the tablet to do all of my major work without a full windows laptop.A few things, right off the bat, I love the magnetic keyboard cover. however, I cannot use the entire kit while sitting in my car without a 'stand' or a place to open the tablet and type comfortably. there are some USB C accessories which are nice. I can display out via USB C to HDMI, USB C to Console or USB C to Ethernet.most of my clients require a windows client to ssh into switches, firewalls or routers.I typically use the samsung notes for most of my dictation, notes and overall writing. I would love for their to be more sync between some apps i use for writing, but that's besides the point.portability, this is pretty high. out of the myriad of tablets i've owned, the 11inch screen is big enough to have comfortable viewing of movies, documents and youtube, but not too big where I cannot fit it in a small backpack, carry on luggage or fatigue holding it in my tool bag.the stylus is responsive and easy enough for me to notate pdf documents, scribble notes and high light in other apps. I found the keyboard is the most responsive over most bluetooth keyboards i've paired with 8inch tablets in the past.I did add additional memory from my note 10+, I typically haven't seen much of a need for the extra storage, the onboard has been enough. with streaming through spotify and netflix, the back up memory isn't necessary. I pair this to my gopro to sync some of my photos for some organization.some other things to consider, is this a reliable, dedicated replacement to a laptop? it depends. Are you using a laptop for browsing, email, streaming and school? Do you print regularly? do you have any applications besides office suite that require a laptop for collaboration in your work? Are you working remotely and often spend time on the road?the S7 might be a good in between device, something that is more robust, dedicated upgrade from a phone but meddles below a laptop. I found that, as a replacement to my laptop, I did not notice any loss of performance. I could collaborate, correspond and perform all of the necessary tasks while working comfortably almost anywhere.a few complaints, the samsung dex is nice, but i have not gotten around to using it to the fullest extent that I would like. the keyboard cover; i'd like to have a moldable or fixed viewing angles that allow me to sit it in my lap and work in my car.the accessories overall compared to the iPad Pro are lacking, a lot of third parties try but miss the mark of good cases that include the function of the keyboard and stylus that I am looking to replicate for a laptop.I'd recommend this over a chromebook or any netbook on a lite OS. it functions better and those familiar with android can pick it up and go rather quickly. if you aren't interested in a surface pro or iPad, i'd definitely recommend this tablet.

I recently got a Galaxy Tab S8 tablet and considered getting a ketyboard cover for it. My older Tab S6 came with a keyboard which was okay but Sansung was using adhesive strips to hold the back cover onto the tablet and whether it always stayed on was hit and miss. When I began to look for a keyboard cover for my new Tab S8, the less expensive one had no trackpad, making it a non-starter and the model with the trackpad was too expensive. I found this model here on Amazon, used, for $55, a tremendous bargain. Even though, techically, it was made for the tab S7, it works perfectly with the S8. Samsung has finally abandoned the adhesive strips on the back cover and now uses pretty strong magnets instead. I have yet to have the back cover come off. The keyboard itself is very good, even with some shortcomings compared to a PC's keyboard but, overall it beats using any of the onscreen keyboards that are available for Android tablets. One thing that I really like is being able to disconnect from the keyboard and use the S8 strictly as a tablet with the back cover on only. The magnets on the back hold so well that I can adjust the bottom flap to suit me without the cover coming off. It's much better than having a full normal cover on the tablet. The bottom line is that the keyboard is more than adequate and the price made it too good to pass up.

I found the Samsung Galaxy Tablet keyboard to be very nice and it does everything it is supposed to do. The keyboard is quiet and easy to type on. The mouse pad works well too. I like the page up and down key and home key. Yes, it's expensive, but it is designed to work with the Samsung Galaxy Tablet S7 5G and it does a good job. It is light weight and the battery life lasts a good long time. I haven't really kept track of how long the charge will last, but it seems like a good long time. When you plug in your tablet to charge, the keyboard is charged at the same time. I've read some reviews that say that the back stand comes off easily. My suggestion is, when opening the tablet, fold the keyboard out and down first. It will not come apart from the tablet, and the back stays where it's supposed to. The stand adjusts to several different positions in a secure way. I would highly recommend this keyboard.

The case is very tight and fits the Samsung Galaxy S7+ Tablet form factor with literally no bevel. The Tablet is smart enough to know there is a compartment for the Samsung Galaxy Stylus Pen and will actually notify you if it detects your stylus is not in place when getting up and moving from a location stationed idle of a certain duration. Cover, Keyboard and Pen unlocks the Samsung Dex Mode automatically but can remain undetected with a setting. It's a great oficial compliment to the Samsung Galaxy specific to its model and size.
