Hi guys,
I got my Tab S4 recently and I can't seem to find a decent case/cover for it.
I love the original Simple Cover Samsung case for the OG Tab S (this one: http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/...ooth-Keyboard-for-the-Galaxy-Tab-S-10.5.jpg).
Is there a case for the Tab S4 that looks and works like this one above?
Thanks for your help!
Many people who have installed cases which attach via magnets have reported adverse S-Pen effects which could be why Samsung has elected to use a corner clip method for attaching their covers.
I chose to use the OEM Samsung Book Cover Case which is minimalistic and in my opinion adds little bulk.

I just got a Tab for Christmas and was wondering, what is/are your favorite case(s)? I'm looking for a case with a built in stand and good protection. Material and cost really don't matter.
I have had the official samsung galaxy tab 10.1 case for several months now and it's holding up nicely. Contrary to 3rd party cases, it fits the tab perfectly, not adding excessive bulk to the tab. You can stand the tab up or just have it rest at an incline. When completly opened it gives much better grip to hold the tab with one hand. You'll find several reviews on youtube if you search for "galaxy tab 10.1 case review"

Are you referring to the Official Book Cover? The only problem is the cost, is the case worth the ~$60 price?
360 case by pyro skins. Great case

Yeah... That's the one I was referring to. It is in fact a little steep at ~60$, but I find it's worth it because of the fit. The leather ones wrap around the corners and cover the sides, which actually may protect the tab better, but I just don't like the extra bulk... The galaxy tab 10.1 is a very thin tablet, I want a case that keeps it that way as much as possible.
On youtube one of the reviews compares the official case to the Belkin one, which gives a good idea of diffences in fit.

I really like it.
Clip case by Pyro Skins. I sent an email to him applauding the case and mentioned what MAY have been a problem with the case, and 30 minutes later I had a tracking # for a second case, no questions asked. You cant beat that kind of customer service.
Indeed the Official Samsung Book Case takes this one. Very functional and keeps the thin profile of the device. Only gripe is when taking pictures, since you'd have to hole up the front cover. But who takes a lot of snaps from their tabs anyway?
I do. Not a problem with Pyro Skins. Also thin and cheaper to buy.
I chose 360 case because of
A. Price
B. Don't have to leave case open in order to charge the tab. I want my tablet covered when left out on desk/table when charging. The official book case has to be left open to charge (I believe).

I agree
this case is very thin and I love it
After looking at all the suggestions, I purchased the VIPERTEK Premium Slim Leather Case Folio with Built-In Standbest from Amazon for $25. I really wanted a clip case and I chose the ViperTek over the PyroSkins clip case for the ability to charge while the case is closed. Thank you all for your input.
I am using the Belkin - Ultrathin Folio & very happy with the case so far.

I got the official samsung case and it's pretty awsome. A little expensive tough. A friend of mine was looking for a case for his tab and he found a similar case at dealextream. It does look a lot like mine, at least from the pictures.
What's up everyone.
Has anyone purchased the Moko Slim Case?
If yes, have you tried using it with the Samsung desktop station or Samsung keyboard found posted in this thread?

Currently using the Belkin case but never liked the bulkiness and definitely does not fit either device. I'd like to have a case that I don't have to take on and off the Tab to use either device. The OEM Samsung Book Cover supposedly does fit but it a lot more expensive.
Thanks in advance

I searched this forum and didn't find anything particular to a 360° rotating case. Tab 2 10.1"
I own a rotating case and love it, but what I don't love is that the channels that hold the tablet at various angles aren't deep enough - it slips out quite easily.
Anyone got a good recommendation for a 360° rotating case? I prefer that type of case because I can use the tablet while it's charging without having to worry about the cord being in the way.
Thanks

that one seems interesting. i have a similar one for my tab2 7.0 but with out the hand strap. very similar to this one case2
Unless I'm mistaken, these aren't 360° rotating?
I've been quite happy with this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Rotatin...xy-Tab-2-10-1-P5100-P5110-P5113-/251149741152
I purchased it in December for my P5113 Tab 2 10.1.

I just got one like the first one (the one you have) after using a generic sleeve for a while.
Thanks for all your recommendations!
Check out the RooCase, for a good price and good capability. Most people have complained with the 10.1" screen, most dual-axis or 360 not being worth it because in portrait mode, the screen would fall back, easily..
Here's my review on the RooCase for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275871
Hope it helps.

Thanks, that roocase actually looks really cool. Thinking about getting ons.
Hello, I've just bought an Urban Factory case with 360 ° rotation and bluetooth keyboard .

I recently purchased an "S-pen Holder" off of eBay for use with my Note 10.1 (n8000), and while the pen holder is very very nice, the actual
S-pen is absolute crap compared to the one that comes with the note 10.1. The tip is very hard, and does not have the "gumminess" that allows the pen to lay down that nice real pressure sensitive pen look.
So my question is, did they ever make a less crummy pen for the n7000? Is there one available with has more of that modern Galaxy note feel to it? Or, is there a decent aftermarket pen with the same form factor.
I want to keep this fantastic case, but I will not be able to use this s-pen. The problem is that the case only fits the pen in the shape made for the n7000 and i1717.
Here is the link to the S-pen holder:

I'm a new Tab S4 owner, and don't have a case yet. I had the screen shatter on my first tablet, a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014, and I've been crazy scared of drops ever since. It had one of the leather / cardboard book sleeve covers. Bumped off a bed stand onto a hardwood floor, and bang! On phones and smaller tablets I've gone to Roocase and on my Galaxy Tab S2, I have a Beetle Defense cover.
It seems like book sleeve covers are much more common than heavy duty cases for the Tab S4. Especially in tandem with keyboards. Are there any that are rugged enough to protect a dropped tablet? If not, is there any concensus on the best rugged case for the S4?
Thanks,
Joe
You are probably better off searching Amazon for " shockproof rugged samsung tab s4 case " and reading the reviews. There are a number of them out there. I personally don't use one myself. At home my Tab S4 sits in the pogo charging dock in my home office on my desk. And when I'm on the road I use this case https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GXDCGLQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 If you look closely that case has a strap that goes around the back to hold the case shut and pretty well protected. Though I have yet to drop it to test it out. FWIW I had the similar case by the same company for my Tab S3 and it is still running like a champ 1.5 years later.
But when I need to take notes by hand I take the tablet out of the case as it is easier for me to write on it with no case. I don't know how much interference a rugged case would have trying to write on it in terms of ergonomics. So I'd be sure to check reviews on how hard people found to write on the tablet while in the case.

Thanks, aspexil, I'm seeing a lot more cases on Amazon with "shockproof rugged" than I did looking for just case. Search terms are everything. Thanks also for comments on folio case - it is one I was looking at yesterday.
Take care,
Joe
Not cheap but Otterbox does make a Defender for it.

Thanks for the link. I was surprised not to find the Otterbox on Amazon. Glad to see they make one for the Tab S4.
