Question S8/S8+ accessories - Samsung Galaxy Tab S8

I got my S8+ yesterday and it's one of the thinnest tablets I've held, which makes it feel very fragile. My old iPad Pro 11" M1 felt much tougher but this is a much nicer device.
I read that S7/S7+ is basically the same dimensions/design and I haven't found any good accessories for S8+, curious can I use Spigen Tough Armor Pro for S7+?

S8 for me, as I want to keep it light & portable. (do still owns a S7+ though, which I used Poetic for its case)
I'm in the case market for my soon to arrive S8 also. Brands that I'm currently considering are Poetic / Spigen / UAG.
Hope you find the one that suites your need best there.

I had case for S7. After receiving S8 I found that old case was perfectly fitted S8, so I assume S8+ will do the same, but cannot guarantee it

Ordered a tab s7 case on off chance cheap and can confirm it fits on tab s8 perfect. Will do nicely till I get the pre-order bonus keyboard case.

On Spigen's website, they lump the S7/S8 and S7+/S8+ cases together - https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-tab-s-series. The frame / size didn't change, so I'd imagine any S7+ case would fit an S8+

I can confirm 7+ case from spigen works with 8+

Spigen Resilient Case Review

**Galaxy S6 Edge Case Review - Spigen Resilient**
Long before i pre-oreded my galaxy s6 edge phone i searched amazon for a case. And with the GS6 edge being ergonomically different from the traditional slab making a decision for a case was hard!. So like any average person would, i choose a case with high 5 star review ratings on amazon. Spigen is a popular and well known case brand, and the "Resilient" case is not so highly rated as most say it is on amazon. Here's my thoughts and review!.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo9fls7aNOs
Yes,I'm also a fan of SGP from Galaxy S3 and yet their current case don't have innovation on design and just keep the same appearance,seems they focus more on promotion. And now many other brand from China such as ROCK,baseus etc. is very close to them and we may have more choice on purchase.

Samsung OEM silicone case ?? feat. cheap cases

Hi all
I just bought a Samsung silicone case for note 8 via ebay (knock-off/not made by samsung).
I wonder if theres a real OEM Samsung silicone case for note 8 (maybe in KOREA?), as far as i know samsung didnt release it for note 8 and I know that they only made silicone cases for S8 and S8+.
the case i got feels really good to touch like the Apple iphone silicone cases and the color is really nice also lined with suede but the fitting on the lower right side is pretty bad. lower right side come off the phone really easy, its very loose. also the bottons is hard to press. 6/10
so far i tried 6 cases for my note 8 and this red cheap ebay case is my favorite so far.
(ebay case black and red 9/10 $6 each, white patchworks ITG 8.5/10 $4, ebay Silicone case for note 8 6/10 $13, amazon maxboost hyperpro 8/10 $7 and lumion huey 7/10 $3)
wish they didnt leave the bottom open like suede case ugh smh

Looks like no one has ordered the case I’ve decided to go with, so I’ll post a small review after I use it. I ordered the Case-Mate case in Iridescent Swirl.
My personal phone is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I’m using the official Apple leather case; it’s leagues ahead of every/any case I’ve ever used for any phone. Particularly, the button tactility makes the case near perfect and a joy to use. The S21 Ultra will be a business phone so I’m looking for something that’ll at least compare in terms of quality to the Apple leather case.
Finding a case similar in quality means looking at Samsung and their official leather case, so I’ll order one when the preorder credit kicks in. But the Case-Mate case looks great (love the finish!) and it looks like it has excellent button tactility. Hopefully it’s worth its $40 price tag.
Any recommendations for a clear, thin case? I'm between:

i used my 260$ credit to get the u21 ultra "case with spen", i also order the spen separately.
now i have 2 spen. samsung should be more clear on their description. i thought case with spen means case with spen slot.
anyone know any aftermarket case with spen slot?
samsung black case with spen slot is getting boring.
Noreve.com Tradition C with 2 creditcard slots (Addiction leather), fits also perfekt to S20 Ultra case.
I have the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro and have use their case on my Note 10 Plus & Note 8 (and I think the S7). It doesn't have a built in screen protector with I didn't want anyway. Comes with a belt clip which I like having while I'm working. Solid choice for $20.

Went with official samsung leather case in black, love the camera protection and leather should feel epic in hand compared to all plastic, ruberry cases. Next will be UAG Monarch in carbon fiber, but i need to import it or wait till it be available here, also interested in pitaka magnetic cases, now I use a plate beneath the case and it gets hot when wireless charging dunno if it's bad for the phone, heat is never good.

BORING.
i already have the samsung oem case with spen slot.
i was hoping for a case with different color or clear.
I have the Samsung Case too - and agree that it would be nice to have a clear version - fingers crossed...
Nearly impossible to find asking official cases for sale in the US. Specifically the TPU case.
I've got Samsung Leather Cover
Pros:
- cool look
- the phone is very firmly attached to it
- does not enlarge the dimensions of the phone too much
- protects the island with cameras well
Cons:
- it doesn't stick out too much from the screen side, so it's a bit dangerous to put the screen down
- skin prone to scratching (damage)
- the phone sways a little when you put its back down
- it's hard to take it off the phone, I'm afraid that I will damage it when I will try to remove the phone from it
- it holds in the hand on average, but still a bit better than a bare phone
Tomorrow will try Ringke Onyx.

Thanks for this report. What has concerned me about this case, from reports here and on Amazon and Best Buy reviews is the durability. You say "skin prone to scratching...". You are seeing this already or understand that it will, with time, show wear/damage?

I use it only the second day, so it's hard to say, I try to take care and do not expose the case too much in case I want to return it to the seller (EU law, up to 14 days from buying). However, it seems to me that it will wear out quickly when you don't care where you put your phone.

Does the Monarch have a saggy bottom near thr charge port?

Accessories Is this the slimmest case for the s21 ultra or have you seen others..

Hello,
I just want the slimmest case for the Ultra and was about to get this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08THKYZ8K/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?smid=A3TJPO0WY4WIAE&psc=1
I have other cases for other situations and needs, so this time all I want is the slimmest case available.
No, I am NOT looking for SKINS or "just go without a case" comments...so thank you.
I bought this one from Ali:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_vLZg9j
At 6.7g it is the lightest I found. Also it fits perfectly with no fingerprints and it is cheap.
I bought 3 other cases that stayed between 1h to 1 minute before I switched back to this light one. Between protection and lightweight I tend to always chose lightweight.
Caudabe has the sheath for the S21 Ultra.
I need to order one myself.
Lew Later cases are supposed to be extremely thin and light. They're expensive though, but available for S21 Ultra:

Every Latercase is made with Dupont™ Kevlar®. The aramid fibers are hand-laid by seasoned craftsmen, precision-formed to fit your S21 Ultra, then laser-cut to perfection. Latercase is simple to put on, simple to take off, and coated with a premium matte finish that's addictive to touch. Oh - and...

Question Rugged Tab S8 Ultra case with magic cover

For those like me with the Ultra model who want a good case but not a piece of s%^~ kickstand or overpriced low quality keyboard case, I've asked Spigen about their Rugged Armor Pro like this:
Galaxy Tab S8 / S7 Case Rugged Armor Pro
Galaxy Tab S8 / S7 Case - Rugged Armor Pro is built to withstand the chaos of life without losing the convenience when it's time to chill.
www.spigen.com
They are planning to release their Tab S8 Ultra cases in May. So if like me you've been on the fence about settling for a garbage cover, hang on there a few more weeks.
No rugged one yet but they've got a thin one now. Pricey, but thinking about it. Nice: "*Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Book Cover Keyboard*". Also "*Attachable side protection only for tablet mode*".
I wish they would have a dummy plug built-in for the charging port. There is at least one case that does, but the whole thing wouldn't work with a Book Cover Keyboard.
And here is a review of the case for s8u -
Actually not so easy to use considering the "Attachable side protection..."
Not happy... after a complete lack of communication about the S8 Tab covers by mailing list, Twitter, Instagram etc, I asked again what is up and this time got:
"Currently, we do not have definite plans to release a Rugged Armor case compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra at the moment
However, we will definitely consider your interest and pass it along to our developers! Thank you for the suggestion."
The ****ty case options are enough to regret buying this thing. Should have just stuck with the S7+

I think this is just about timing - if Samsung continues releasing 14.6" tablets, Spigen and other companies will release relevant covers. BTW, haven't you considered SUPCASE for S8U? https://www.supcase.com/collections/galaxy-tab-s

Oh wow. If I could still connect the Keyboard with the tablet with that case on it, I'd definitely go for it. I like the port-protector, plus it makes it easier to find the USB-C port without scratching the side of the tablet up.

I would as well. Unfortunately, I haven't ever found such cases for the Tab series.

I've bought one and it also sits gathering dust for three reasons.
1. I want a physical cover that can also protect the paper feel / textured screen films that I use. Even if I was willing to compromise and put the film over the screen protector, the loss in pen sensitivity becomes significant.
2. I prefer the angle options the Spigen folding cover gives to the kick stand approach.
3. The pen holders are too tight to fit the Staedler Norris fat stylus securely. The Spigen cases are designed in a way which is much more accommodating of different stylus sizes.
I also bought a Fintie case which is more like "magic cover" style but it's flimsy crap with magnets so weak they don't even stay secure under the weight of the cover let alone with the tablet in it. The official Samsung kickstand case is what I'm using for now but yeah, I'm selling the tablet either way and going back to a Plus.
In many ways such a nice tablet, but I guess it's a niche market. A high end oversized relatively heavy tablet suited more to staying inside an office or maybe commute between home and work might be part of the reason for lack of good rugged case options, especially when it competes against the keyboard cover functionality.
Ergh. Was considering getting the Spigen for the Ultra - it's even much cheaper on Amazon right now, but there is only one user rating, and it's 1 out of 5:
I was really glad that I found this one that is similar to the Samsung genuine case and lighter weight but compatible with keyboard as well. However, after a day of use, I started to find critical down sides and there are 2.
1. There is magnet that doesn't compatible with Gal' Tab S8 Ultra and that interrupt S-pen recognition. This is really critical if you are trying to write at the spot where the magnet is...
2. This is much more critical... on the second day, the tablet was malfunctioning that the screen doesn't turn on properly. It turns on after several time of clicking the power button or double taping the screen. However, that only last for 1 sec. I can't do anything because it keeps turns off. First I thought something broken. However, as soon as I take off from the case, it works fine. So, I tried put my tablet on the back of the case. As soon as it contacted the case, the screen went out and doing the same thing. It is breaking my tablet.
I love Spigen. I used their brand ever since I had iPhone3GS... However.. this product is very disappointed.

Too bad. I did find some attachable USB-C dust plugs, though, I'm considering trying. A different one on Amazon had at least one negative comment about coming out by accident too easily, but this one looks like it might stay in better if I can judge just by looks.
