What are your thoughts on the official Tab S9 Ultra cases? Get a FREE Slim Keyboard Cover when you buy a Tab S9 Ultra here ➡howl.me/ckf5Tt7dJGw Thanks for watching!
Beyond overpriced, sadly. I want a smart case that has a back like the book keyboard case , that kickstand really is perfect for holding a tabled in landscape mode. As for the keyboard, it can somewhat be replaced with wireless keyboard with a trackpad
Hi Shane, I think the security on your TH-cam account might have been compromised. Someone is responding, using your details, to a reply I made on this thread.
I just received my S9 Ultra with the the Book Cover Keyboard. Will it make scratches on screen over time? Is it worth to buy the Smart Book Cover for that reason, and use the one with keyboard only when necessary?
@luisbaratamarques2859 no. I have a tab S6 with such case, carry it with me daily and there are no scratches. The plastic is much softer than tempered glass
This is exactly the video I was looking for! I’d be completely sold on the origami cover if it had a “typing” mode to make it easier to use the on-screen keyboard. Great video Shane!
ordinaryalan That origami cover was made to be used as a typical tablet case/cover that’s why no keyboard was involved. That empty spot isn’t for keyboard use. Thought that was obvious. If you got both u can easily switch between the two. For a tablet need or a PC like need with the Book Cover Keyboard.
Look around online for origami covers. I remember I wanted a typing and drawing angle on my iPad and literally no cover supported that except for one origami one made by ESR. Literally every angle and very sturdy
Not really that's market price for a 14 inch tablet keyboard case extension. If you can afford a tablet that costly, you shouldn't have a problem paying for the keyboard
Blame Apple I guess, they got away with their $350 keyboard so Samsung following suit. Maybe grab another case for the short term and wait for a sale on it since I'm sure it will drop to $200 soon enough
Yeah it's funny, there's often some story/explanation at the start of other's videos to tell people why they are reviewing a Samsung product when in reality like you said they're just cashing in on the views. Not saying I'm not cashing in on the views because I am too, but I'd rather use the products and just share what's going on with the devices/products rather than follow some storyline/narrative to keep viewers hooked. This video and all of my video's goals are to help people learn about the products and help make the best buying decision rather than tuning into 50 other channels with vlogs, reading of spec sheets, and minimal actual real life usage. There's a few real reviewers like Flossy and Lisa from Mobiletechreviews but I'm just glad some people can benefit from the vids
I'd love to see you cover the PaperNote screen cover, especially if it'll wear down the S-pen nibs or not! (considering all 3rd party matte screen protector does)
Wait until you use it for a couple of days. It sucks. You can't remove the keyboard from the case, and when trying to use it, it falls off the back since the magnets are only on halfway to accommodate the fold.
Great video the removal of the pen cover I totally missed that I was struggling to use the pen with the cover but now its much better with it removed!!!! 👍👍 Thank you!
There is a pre-order bonus/gift which includes a mouse and the bookcover slim here in Singapore plus a one year of Microsoft 365. BUT, you can only purchase the 256 Gb version, with higher capacity storage not even available for purchase. Thank you for reviewing the rest of the Samsung official cases!
Nice video! Can you do a little more comparison between the book cover (with trackpad) in terms of the experince of using the keyboard and trackpad? I heard that especially the trackpad wasnt that good on the s8 book cover, did they do any improvements on those area? Also it seems that the privacy screen cannot go with keyboard covers?
great content. I wish I saw your vids early. ❤just bought mine Tab S9 Ultra this week and loving it. I meant to buy the two piece cover but instead I got one piece one 😂. overall good cover with functionality to it.
Great video. Liked it already. Just a thought: can we use the back piece of Smart Book Cover with the keyboard in Book Cover Keyboard? I was looking for something that I can put both horizontally and vertically but still can use with keyboard.
I'm so glad I found this video. I won a box of random tech stuff at an auction and couldn't figure out what this case was for. Five bucks to win the box of mostly cell phone cases and a few 32 gig sd cards for anyone wondering.
Great video as always Shane. I got both the Book Cover Keyboard and Smart Book Cover as freebies, alongside a storage bump to 512GB and free charger for my S9 UItra 5G. ;-)
The smart bookcover with the samsung Bluetooth keyboard called the smart keyboard trio 500 can be had for $130 total for the s9 plus. That's what I am going to go with. That little keyboard is pretty slick. It is fully compatible with Samsung tablets and phones and has its own battery, so you can put it anywhere on your workspace and use it. Even on your lap.
For $350, i can get a smart book cover, the note paper screen, the privacy screen, the outdoor cover case, another S-Pen and still have enough money for food, fuel and etc. Im getting all this for My Tab S9 BTW.
Hi. Lifelong Apple user. I was looking at the S9 ultra. It looks amazing. I wanted to buy the keyboard case in your video. It says both versions are not available for purchase? Do you think this is because the s10 ultra comes out soon? I even contacted samsung support and they could not help me find the keyboard cases. Thanks so much. I was ready to purchase a tablet but can’t find the keyboard so I’m not sure.
I'm ready to refuse shipment and ask for my money back when I realized paying for the slim case was my "reward" for ordering early. Samsung won't allow me credit to apply for the $350 case they gave away last year. They are really squeezing the customers on their pricing.
Hello, thank you for the excellent video!! I had a doubt. Does the Tab S9 back cover work on the Tab S8? Or not because of the slightly different positioning of the cameras. I was thinking of buying one of these covers for my S8+, but I don't know if they are compatible.
Thats the Ultra model. The base model cases are more affordable. I bought them all except for the book cover keyboards and I enjoyed all of the accessories that I got for my Tab S9.
That Smart Book Cover case wasn’t designed to be used for a keyboard. It’s more of a typical case for a tablet. That empty part isn’t for anything it’s just to close it so it sleeps and awakes when you open it back. They made one with a keyboard to use the keyboard because that’s what it’s made for. You just switch out the Book Cover Keyboard for the Smart Book Cover to have a typical tablet case so you can use your tablet like a tablet.
Hey! Nice video. I have a question regarding the smart book cover (without keyboard): can you fold the front cover to the back-side, so that you can use the tablet without having the front cover take up space or needing remove it?
I have both the Samsung standard keyboard cover and the book cover (without the keyboard). Great products and definitely recommend ... awesome and quality! I do experience that it easily leaves finger prints on the covers. I use the cleaning solution / sprays for spectacle / sunglass lenses you buy at optomitrists. I wipe with a microfibre rag ... easily removes all marks or finger prints!! In South Africa you get a Samsung 45w fast charger and the keyboard cover for free should you buy / order from the Samsung online shop until end September. Should you buy somewhere else and you go online with your S9 Ultra onto Samsung members you can claim the charger and keyboard cover as a free gift ... have to provide Imei nr, upload invoice, etc. AWESOME and add to the classy feel and look! Pricey but so worth it! The S9 Ultra Tablet ... Insane quality!! Very happy Samsung user for years!!
Great video! One thing just never get mentioned is whether the S8 Ultra works with the S9 keyboard? For example if we wanted to replace only keyboard. The S8 keyboard isn’t in production it seems.
I don't think you mentioned this, the back part of the kickstand does not fit the S9 Ultra. So the bottom keyboard part will technically fit but the back kickstand part won't. So either way people are going to need to upgrade, or at least buy a different type of kickstand
Great video! I was thinking of getting the smart book cover first before getting the book cover keyboard down the line. Since both of these cases come with two pieces, are you able mix and match them? Like could I use the Keyboard with the origami style kickstand or use the traditional kickstand with the normal front piece?
Great video! Quick question : With Book Cover keyboard attached, Is it stable enough to be on your lap for typing? What about for the keyboard slim? Can you prop it on lap for typing?
I have the same concern. I'm thinking of getting this as my secondary computer, but I'm on the fence. Like it looks so beautiful and the Dex mode could be amazing too, but can it handle rugged usage?? Idk
Great video, thanks. Any cover able to support 30 degrees and 60 degrees horizontal orientation as it was on TAB S6 flipcover with spen covered? Thanks for ideas
On my Tab S6 - I found if I needed a keyboard I was just using my laptop. The keyboard just became annoying and 99% was taken off of the tablet. With the S9 I decided to get the book cover, mainly due to it being free when pre-ordering but I also like that it can be vertical.
Hello there. Was wondering if you can answer a couple questions for me on these cases. I just got my s9 Ultra and I mainly use it to do social media edits but I also use it as my music source. Was wondering if the first cover ($300+ cover) would be able to be placed up against lets say something magnetic without the keyboard. For example let's say I have some neodymium magnets up on a wall somewhere and I want my tablet to hang from it so I can play music while I'm cooking. The other question is the same question but on the one that has a microfiber feel to it. Same scenario (without the soft part latched on), will it hang if I have enough magnets? I know these are a bit odd questions and I can just use the stand but let's just say I'm not going to use the stands to place them on a countertop because there is no countertop for whatever reason. Please and thank you. 🙂 Also, great video explaining use cases, ha.

I am glad, here in Korea, the keyboard case can be bought at around 100$ during pre-order period.
THAT PEN PROTECTION DETACHMENT OH MY GOD THANK YOU

well u can switch the covers

You can pick a whole laptop with that 350$ lol
@ShaneSymonds I love your vids
@@AIP404 unless someone else offers exactly that package at less Samsung has no incentive to charge less.
Also it's a $1200 tab
Here because Shane actually uses Samsung products. I kinda don't trust other TH-camrs who just post Samsung videos for the views.

Exactly I'm also wondering the same.
Thank you so much for this. I've been looking for videos that covers the accessories. Thank you so much
Does the spen cover really removable or is it just brute force removing it? Update: it's actually in the user's manual. It's removable by design.
I got a Tab S9+ through Verizon. $430 off and the keyboard case was less than $200. Still not cheap, but a decent deal 👍
Same . Got the pad for 450 refurbed , and the keyboard 90 usd second hand.
Very informative. Thank you!😁
Thank you so much for that wideo. Best review I see on youtube ❤👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for the review!
Samsung galaxy Tab S9 with the keyboard is very nice 😮😮😮
Awesome Video. Saves me the trouble of figuring all the models out on my own
Fortunately here in SEA for tab s9 ultra we got the keyboard cover for free plus free storage upgrade
Really needed this video thanks.
About february this year i found a hell of a deal for the tab s8 ultra and secured the tablet and the keyboard case for £740
the slim case being $100 with preorder is a pretty great deal. i wish there was a kickstand, but this works well enough
Wait until you use it for a couple of days. It sucks. You can't remove the keyboard from the case, and when trying to use it, it falls off the back since the magnets are only on halfway to accommodate the fold.
Could you put the s9 ultra smart cover on the s8 ultra by detatching the s pen protection?
Great video the removal of the pen cover I totally missed that I was struggling to use the pen with the cover but now its much better with it removed!!!! 👍👍 Thank you!
Awesome video mate! Thanks for your insights. I had never realised there were 2 keyboards.
Great Video, Thanks !!! 👍🏼
Where I'm from Sg, the keyboard cover comes with the device as a free pre-order gift along with a 45w charger
True. Almost 1 month and still i have yet to receive my free gifts. Samsung is hopeless and useless.
There is a pre-order bonus/gift which includes a mouse and the bookcover slim here in Singapore plus a one year of Microsoft 365. BUT, you can only purchase the 256 Gb version, with higher capacity storage not even available for purchase. Thank you for reviewing the rest of the Samsung official cases!

Let me help answering... NOPE

Great video! Do you prefer the origami smart book cover stand or the book cover with keyboard stand better?
Smart Book Cover: Ordered for 65€ ... Great Review!!!!
Thank you for the review ;)
VERY VERY HELPFUL VIDEO! Thank you so much for this. :)
Great video. Liked it already. Just a thought: can we use the back piece of Smart Book Cover with the keyboard in Book Cover Keyboard? I was looking for something that I can put both horizontally and vertically but still can use with keyboard.

May I ask how you were able to get them for free?

great video with that fancy weight balance
Any risk of the keyboard ones scratching or otherwise being bad for the display?
Compatible with s8 ?
Happy I watched this my new tablet comes Tuesday with a free case . I see what case they gave me now
Does s8 Ultra Keyboard work on s9 ultra?

Yeah I don't understand totally, I love the idea of their products but customer service is a scam.
Hello, thank you for the excellent video!!
I had a doubt. Does the Tab S9 back cover work on the Tab S8? Or not because of the slightly different positioning of the cameras.
I was thinking of buying one of these covers for my S8+, but I don't know if they are compatible.
I read that they are not compatible, and the camera holes don't align quite right.
@@prettyuglywhat if u remove the plastic pen/camera protective case as Shane demonstrated? It might….
Do the S8 Ultra cases fit for S9 Ultra??
No
Why are these cases so expensive? 😢
Durable
Thats the Ultra model. The base model cases are more affordable. I bought them all except for the book cover keyboards and I enjoyed all of the accessories that I got for my Tab S9.
Because we got the most expensive tablet

In Brazil, the keyboard and touchpad cover, in addition to the charger, already come in the box, on the entire Tab S9 line
Hey! Nice video.
I have a question regarding the smart book cover (without keyboard): can you fold the front cover to the back-side, so that you can use the tablet without having the front cover take up space or needing remove it?
I clicked on this video for the same thing. I hope it does...
@@davidmodiga3273 It does, quite easily. I bought the case, it's good. The magnets are strong and the fabric is soft to the touch.

AWESOME and add to the classy feel and look! Pricey but so worth it!
The S9 Ultra Tablet ... Insane quality!!
Very happy Samsung user for years!!
Any case that allow to use like a laptop ? Like bridge case does with ipad's for example
do u have to remove the smart book cover front part for when u want to hold the tab in portrait mode?
so which one do u recomend?
if you were to select only 1 case thank you
hello, excellent video but where did you buy your scale?
I noticed that their are very few cases at this time for the s9 on Amazon. When will a wider range of cases be available?
.. how about when it's actually released .. 🥸😅
What's it like using the new keyboard cover on the s8 ultra? Also, does the back cover fit on the s8 ultra?
In Norway, we are getting free slim keyboard case + free double storage ($400 off on 1TB)+ $50 off
Great video! One thing just never get mentioned is whether the S8 Ultra works with the S9 keyboard? For example if we wanted to replace only keyboard. The S8 keyboard isn’t in production it seems.
Book Cover Keyboard last time included inside the box. Now need to buy.
Hi Shane, great video! Had a question - does the Book Keyboard attachment work if you use the Smart Origami back?
same question
I don't think you mentioned this, the back part of the kickstand does not fit the S9 Ultra. So the bottom keyboard part will technically fit but the back kickstand part won't. So either way people are going to need to upgrade, or at least buy a different type of kickstand
samsung👑
What's the name of the scale you using and where did you buy it?
awesome video, very useful
Great video!
I was thinking of getting the smart book cover first before getting the book cover keyboard down the line. Since both of these cases come with two pieces, are you able mix and match them? Like could I use the Keyboard with the origami style kickstand or use the traditional kickstand with the normal front piece?
i think you should be able to since the back is attached to separate magnets
Thanks for your great review. Are you sure the Key Board Cover for the S9 ultra that the keyboard is back lite? I'm hearing many different reviews.
The one with trackpad has 100% back light. I own one and you can change between 3 different modes for the backlight (low to bright)
Do all these exist for the S9 as well?
It seems like they didn't think about making the book cover keyboard kickstand work in portrait mode ?
I bet the origami case doesnt do well laying in bed
Great video!
Quick question :
With Book Cover keyboard attached, Is it stable enough to be on your lap for typing?
What about for the keyboard slim? Can you prop it on lap for typing?
I have the same concern. I'm thinking of getting this as my secondary computer, but I'm on the fence. Like it looks so beautiful and the Dex mode could be amazing too, but can it handle rugged usage?? Idk
Do the keyboards come in other colors?
Is there any kind tablet protective case that , can be used along with the keyboard or no ?
Can the Book Cover Keyboard case be combined with Smart Book Cover? They are both detachable, so are the detachable portions interchangeable?
My question as well
Hey! I have a question
Can you combine the smart book cover along with the keyboard with touchpad?
What the absolute hell is up with these prices? I was expecting less than half of what they actually cost.
Future of laptops
Does the keyboard feel sturdy when typing on your lap?
In Australia the Book case is over $400, with the slim going for $350. But they are throwing the slim in for free with preorders.
could you use the book cover keyboard with the smart book cover?
Can you use the keyboard while the privacy screen is on? And fold it up too?
I ordered the smart cover. Mainly cause it has enough. Has detachable cover for screen and two different ways to have kickstand
I wonder if the privacy screen will also fit the s8 ultra?
I am wondering the same thing here. Good question.
can you tilt the tablet forward when docked or only backwards?
Great video, thanks. Any cover able to support 30 degrees and 60 degrees horizontal orientation as it was on TAB S6 flipcover with spen covered? Thanks for ideas
Im kind of torn between getting the keyboard cover and smart cover. You think maybe the two can be combined into one if you tried?
Did u do it?
Do the magnets interfere with the s pen?
Did the kickstand on the book cover keyboard of the tab s8 ultra get loose over the course of time?
I'm curious if the privacy screen attaches and works properly with the Tab S8 Ultra. I'm interested in getting the Papernote screen for mine.
Applying screen protector on the S9 Ultra, does it get in the way when using the keyboard cover? Does it have a nice shut? Thanks
On my Tab S6 - I found if I needed a keyboard I was just using my laptop. The keyboard just became annoying and 99% was taken off of the tablet. With the S9 I decided to get the book cover, mainly due to it being free when pre-ordering but I also like that it can be vertical.
It's over $500 for the keyboard case where I live and I got the tablet for $450 - think I'll wait for third party cases to be reviewed 🤣
Hello there. Was wondering if you can answer a couple questions for me on these cases.
I just got my s9 Ultra and I mainly use it to do social media edits but I also use it as my music source. Was wondering if the first cover ($300+ cover) would be able to be placed up against lets say something magnetic without the keyboard. For example let's say I have some neodymium magnets up on a wall somewhere and I want my tablet to hang from it so I can play music while I'm cooking. The other question is the same question but on the one that has a microfiber feel to it. Same scenario (without the soft part latched on), will it hang if I have enough magnets?
I know these are a bit odd questions and I can just use the stand but let's just say I'm not going to use the stands to place them on a countertop because there is no countertop for whatever reason. Please and thank you. 🙂 Also, great video explaining use cases, ha.
Can you use the smart cover in combination with just the keyboard part of the book cover keyboard?
Might as well buy a surface pro with real pc applicatoons
S9 tab ultra is a beast. Surface can not compare
