SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S7+ Keyboard, 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.

Bought the keyboard about a month ago.Works really well. No complaints. The keys are perfect and the special keys for the Tablet are a big help.The built in stand is great and folds open.I was concerned that with this only being magnet, that is, being held by magnets, that the case would come off easy. So far it has not. Seems to work great.As far as protection goes. I guess it depends on which way it falls. But it is sure a nicely designed case.Also keeps the Spen in the proper position for charging!!! Just open the S-pen slot and your pen is ready to go. Love that Larger S-pen. The Case was designed to hold it great.Really, if you want to use your tablet like laptop, this is the one. Also I would guess it saves battery life, as it uses no Bluetooth.Samsung products are expensive. I had to wait to purchase mine. But the quality is always there! Samsung is the "Apple" of the Android world. I prefer Android over Apple, but that is a personal choice.The touch-pad is really cool, I was looking for keys for right or left click, it is built into the touch-pad!To get the full use of the touch-pad, I suggest you google Samsung on this one. There are tips.Such as you basically just swipe the touch-pad, like you would the screen.All in all, a very good keyboard and case. If you want to go cheap, I suppose the next best, is to buy a cheap case and buy a cheap bluetooth keyboard and a bluetooth mouse. I had to do that, until I could buy this one.It is worth saving up for though, to get the Samsung Tab S7+ case.Finally, everyone forgets about Samsung "Dex" feature. Make sure you understand what it is. You swipe down from the top and turn on "Samsung Dex". Basically it mimics a Windows 10 experience. You can open multiple apps, like on Windows 10. You can tile them and many of the keyboard shortcuts work.This is the feature that makes your tablet with the Keyboard, like a True Laptop. Looks to me, that the specs of the Samsung are just as powerful or more powerful than many laptops.Samsung Dex, with the right HDMI adapter also lets you hook up the tablet to a full-sized screen .But this is a review about the keyboard. So, try out the Dex mode. For those apps that will not open full screen, there is a setting called "Samsung Labs" experimental. Which works just great.The only thing I had to do on some of them, is some apps do not want to rotate into landscape mode. But you can find apps to force that in the App store. Rotation control type apps.Anyway, I think the keyboard works great. Has a great feel to it. Get used to it, and I think you can leave your heavy laptop at home.With Word and Google Doc apps, I think the keyboard allows one to to do it all.But that is just me personally, I love the way it syncs with my Samsung S21 Ultra phone.This is the keyboard you need if you want the full experience.

I've bought a China-made keyboard case that was meant to copy Apple's Magic Keyboard, but a few keys conked out about less than year. Comparing the two, the Samsung keyboard is much, much lighter and makes the tablet a joy to carry around. The faux leather also feels premium. No need for charging, since it connects directly to the tablet without Bluetooth connectivity.I thought the keyboard keys were good to type with, but the Samsung keyboard feels very premium provides a nicer typing experience. The trackpad doesn't compare to a laptop's trackpad, but it is quite usable.Just another caveat: It's meant to be used on flat surfaces, i.e., it isn't very lap-able and also isn't great to use while lying down face up due to the angled stand at the back.Overall, though, it's excellent!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The keyboard is of great quality. The keys look cheap, but feel and sound premium. The case exterior feels elegant. My only gripes are the loose keyboard, and lack of backlight on the keys. Previously inactive videos would resume if you shake/move the case somewhat aggressively (such as putting it in a backpack). It would have been nice if the case had some kind of magnets or magnetic strap for stability between the keyboard portion and the back plate case. Lack of keyboard backlight is not a huge deal breaker for me since I rarely use the keyboard in dark environments, but it would have been a very nice addition! All in all, no regrets purchasing this. Only time will tell if that sentiment changes!
