Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 Accessories: Cases and Keyboards

[@terrymadeley]

Yep, very helpful, thanks. And a big thumbs up for circular keys, very typewritery-retro!

[@SeasaidhB]

Thank you so much for this evaluative video, in preparation to buy a cover & keyboard for the tablet I've just purchased. I really appreciate the quality of your comparisons and of the production you've used, too. ~Happy holidays.~

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks so much for the kind words. It really does mean a ton! Enjoy the holidays!

[@PattiePenguin]

The store sold it to us and a pen as well. They should have told us. My tablet is useless. I wish I knew this before. Thanks for the information.

[@longsokunliza6290]

Thanks for reviewing all these keyboards, Sir. That's so helpful for me.

[@AndroidDigest]

Sure, glad to help

[@PattiePenguin]

Thanks for all the information. I would like a case to hold the pen. Please find one. Thanks

[@ALADEABRAHAM]

Tab a8 doesn't have pen support😂

[@sabrinamerrick1271]

The last one is a good keyboard case option.

Thanks for leaving timestamps, I'm happy with my case I just wanted to know about keyboards 🙂

I like the viewing angles/bumpers on the marble colored one

[@AndroidDigest]

😂😂 do you even have a Galaxy Tab A8 or are you just watching for the knowledge?! Hey you know I appreciate it like always

Appreciate you sir, looking for a keyboard for my Samsung A8 Tablet, and I think the Logitech K380 is the best choice. Thanks.

[@AndroidDigest]

For sure. Recently they released a new keyboard which is pretty much identical, the pebble 2. That would be good too

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Didn't watch it all because I don't have this one I've still got the 7 and the S5A just quite good.

[@elainetuck936]

Hi. Thank you for such good information, especially the keyboard options. I look forward to watching some of your videos.

[@AndroidDigest]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alexisbrown733]

Thx u4 sharing very informative

[@simoneb4177]

Sorry if I missed it, where do you buy these cases? I can find a link to only one case. Thanks for informative video!

[@AndroidDigest]

I have Amazon links in the description, you just have to scroll below the timestamps. But these are cases from the US. If you are in a different country, you may not see them. But it may re-link you

[@BenitaMcvie]

Just plus more on the video

[@milkamichellevladic7514]

Thank you for the informative video. I am giving my Samsung Tab A8 (with camera in the middle) to my sister and want to get a keyboard. Is it hard to hook up the keyboard? Do I need a mouse with the keyboard? Sorry for the dumb question but I never knew you could get a keyboard for a tablet lol

[@AndroidDigest]

I would recommend getting a bluetooth keyboard like the logitech k380. Basically, you will have to make sure batteries are in, turn the keyboard on. When it turns on it normally goes straight into "pairing mode". So you go to your bluetooth settings, search for devices and normally it will pop up after scanning. Then you will click to connect. At that point, any time you turn on the keyboard it will automatically try to connect to the tablet. Sometimes you have to put it into pairing mode, if for example you are trying to connect to another device, and every keyboard has a different button to put it in pairing mode. But hopefully this helps you! Sorry for the late comment.

[@dextertalento1578]

CAN U MAKE VIDEO ABOUT MOUSE FOR A8 TABLET?

[@AndroidDigest]

Honestly you could get any Bluetooth mouse. Any Bluetooth mouse should work just fine. You can find Bluetooth Microsoft or Logitech mice on Amazon for pretty cheap

[@Justins_vids124]

I have a case like this and two others but its like this one but more thick and hAs a screen protector

[@RomanticFlor]

thanks so much for the video. Could you please tell me if you can take notes on the Tab A8? if so could you please give me a link where to get it?

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks for being subscribed! Sorry for the late response. You can take notes, it just depends on what app you want. Samsung notes, OneNote, these are all apps you can download for note taking, if you are referring to a stylus and drawing on your tablet, this doesn't use an s-pen. The s-pens have special features that this tablet can't use, like palm rejection. That's handy when you want to draw with the pen but you want it to reject any touch from your hands. This tablet can't do any of that, so you have to buy a capacitive stylus, which basically has no extra features. So you can still use it to take notes, but it will work similar to touch from your finger, no extra features, but it still works. Hope this helps. I don't have links. Just search "capacitive stylus".

[@jc2557]

Great review, I'm looking for Bluetooth backlit keyboard in a case for A8 any help ? Cheers

[@AndroidDigest]

I don't personally use any, there are plenty on Amazon if you look it up, a lot of them are going to feel a little cheaper though. That's why I prefer not to get them. It feels a little easier to me to carry around a little bit of a higher quality keyboard and just carry it separately. It gives me more flexibility not to always have to have a keyboard attached. But I can have a keyboard ready when I need it. Because when you don't need the keyboard, you're always going to have it hanging there and you're going to have to carry it everywhere, and if you take the keyboard out of the case, you're going to have a huge extra chunk of your case just sitting there. It seems like a keyboard is more of a secondary use in most cases, which is why I like the idea of having something separate. But not everyone has my thoughts and I get that, so I do wish you the best of luck to find what you need

[@potatochalbro]

What about the two official cases, why aren't they mentioned?

[@AndroidDigest]

I don't always review the official accessories, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. In this case I'll just say that the official Tab A8 cases won't be such a must have thing for an average person. This doesn't have magnets on the bottom to attach to a keyboard, so any keyboard cases will be bluetooth keyboards anyway. And any Samsung cases will be nice, but to be honest they are probably a little overpriced compared to a lot of other cases out there. I was trying to find a bunch of cases you can find on amazon and get for a great price. I do often cover Samsung's official accessories though. I did for the Tab S8, S8 Ultra, S8 Plus, etc. But I just didn't for the A8. But hopefully this video helps some.

Thank you for the review

[@AndroidDigest]

No problem 👍

[@pukkaapukkaa3790]

Do unofficial magnetized cases harm the device?

[@AndroidDigest]

Not in my experience. I've had plenty of cases that have worked just fine long-term without any issues

[@triscillatan9075]

Does the Tab A8 support any stylus pen?

[@AndroidDigest]

It only supports capacitive styluses. Those essentially don't have any extra features and they just work like your finger is touching the screen, and the tablet won't support any type of palm rejection or anything like that. So you just have to look up capacitive styluses. But no spen's will work on this

[@harryberry474]

Just being honest here, I think you spent too much time on how the cases look, I would rather have heard you mention if they had a sleep wake function and if they function properly other than that good review.

[@AndroidDigest]

Good thoughts. It's hard to know what to talk about. So I try my best. Honestly though, the sleep to wake function doesn't really depend on the case too much anymore. A lot of times, anything that covers the screen and the sensors will automatically trigger that function. But either way I do get what you're saying, sometimes it's good to talk about those extra features.
