Samsung Galaxy Tab S9/S9 FE Keyboard Review: Slim vs Book Cover

[@AndroidDigest]

All Galaxy Tab S9 accessories work with the S9 FE, including the book cover keyboard and slim keyboard (the FE released after this video was made). You can buy the official Samsung book cover keyboard here: howl.me/ckq3KdmPMkO and check the links in the description too. I really like the Samsung outdoor cover, and I listed the link there (the case with the kickstand)

[@khamis1990]

Hi bro,do the detachable keyboard works on the Samsung galaxy tab S8?

[@AndroidDigest]

@@khamis1990 Gotta watch the video, I literally go over all of that in the video lol. The answer is complicated though.

[@benoitbeaudry4640]

Just to be sure all cover for tab s9 will fit for tab s9 FE not only the keyboard ?

[@geotg8247]

@@AndroidDigest But you did not mention if the regular S9 keyboard will work on S8 or not. I would like to know if the S-Pen cover is removed, will the kickstand work with S8, since the camera bump of S8 is smaller than S9?

[@chamber0fFear354]

Hi, which is keyboard is more space saving on a flight with the tray table down? The slim or the bookcover? Thanks

[@superwebsitehero7261]

Best Review out there since most only talk about the Ultra and not the standard Tab S9! Thanks Brother You're Awesome and ordered my Book Cover Keyboard!

[@AndroidDigest]

Thanks! I'm glad this helped!

[@erynevans5110]

Thanks so much for doing this vid! I have been trying to figure out my best options for a new tablet with detachable keyboard. I had more or less decided on the Tab S9 SE+ but the manufacturers details about the cases were deplorably bereft of specifics on most of what you covered here - which was everything I was wanting to know! WOOT!

[@biagi027]

thanks and congratulations for the video from Italy, you are very strong and competent, at the beginning I wanted to get the slim one, but honestly after having spent all that money on the tablet I don't want to waste on €50 for the cover, then the fact that yes can also detach from the tablet is super convenient, plus the advantage of the different angles. thanks and ciao

[@AndroidDigest]

Thank you so much for the comment. It means a ton

[@topxramn]

for college, the slim keyboard cover is excellent for portability. i’ve had a few classes with small desks and the form/size combo works well for in-class learning. a lot of my classmates are intrigued and interested with the s9 and asking me what tablet is that.

[@AndroidDigest]

I agree with you. Without the trackpad and the extra kickstand taking space it's going to fit a lot better on a college desk and it's going to be more portable

[@baka3262]

As a student myself who's about to buy a tabs9 sometime next week, how is the size of the tab s9 11inch? Because I'm comparing its size to my current iPad mini, and my brother's iPad pro, and I'm wondering how it will do with multiple tabs. Like is the size good enough to fit a Google doc, a KZbin video and maybe an article/instagram on the side? It's just that I feel like the 12.4 inch is too big (for regular use without a keyboard and light gaming) but if it can't fit all the things I need I might have to consider it..

[@topxramn]

@@baka3262 it works well in all those applications that you mentioned. if i ever feel hampered by the UI in multitasking, i’ll switch to DEX mode and im able to configure my apps however i want just like a laptop. 11” is small no doubt, but portability and light school works were my priority and it fit the bill. the microsd card slot is another factor that came into play for me. i store many videos and docs and it’s been nice to not worry about storage.

[@supflake8373]

I've just bought an S8 and relative slim keyboard, and I must say the slim is just the better option for students, my university has such small desks since classes are so big and there's so many students, I don't think I could even write with the big keyboard tbh😂

[@jimmymac2292]

I prefer the slim keyboard. The kickstand is really the only thing I miss. But I dont mind not having a trackpad. The touch screen is fine by itself or I can use a mouse. If Samsung makes a small hinge for more adjustable angles it would be perfect

[@AndroidDigest]

Right. I do think having multiple angles would help. It's not a preference for me but I get why someone would like it. That's why I still recommend it

[@jimmymac2292]

@AndroidDigest laying in bed, its nicer to have a more straight standing view. Outside of that, I'm happy. Either way, I like both keyboards. They are just pricey. I got the slim keyboard for free with trade in though

[@charlespeters1480]

@@jimmymac2292 I prefer the slim keyboard cover as well. My use case is mainly travel. The slim cover works better on an airline tray table. The regular cover keyboard weighs too much (more than the tablet) and the kickstand takes up too much space. I even like the slim keyboard cover better than the new origami smart cover. Again the smart cover is too heavy (0.74 lb.) and you don't even get a keyboard for all that weight. If I just want a cover I just use the book cover left over from my tab S8 (I just used an exacto knife to make the camera hole placement and size match what is needed for an S9, it looks fine to me). It's lighter and offers more adjustment positions in landscape mode.

[@DaPPTKMappers]

Thanks ! This helped me for buying a tab s9 fe+ because i was being a bit, i'm 100 percent buyong it

I'm glad it helped!

I broke my s7+ screen with one stupid fall. I love the keyboard cover but it really isn't safe.

[@zane___k7333]

It's not really that big of a deal when you use it in reality. It's something you have to try to understand.

[@Raamy25]

3:02. Actual is another angle to the slim book cover, and it is quite good for note-taking. So the pack is divided into 3 parts. Going from 1 to 3 ( up to down ), the main position, the 3, is the only part touching the table with the send part detached, and the third part is still attached to cover your s pen. The second position is to lay the 3 and 2 straight at the table (which means both parts should be lying flat on the table) while the first part is still attached

[@brianadelstein7680]

I love the idea of the full book cover but it does not appear to be usable in a tablet only mode while on the go, folding the keyboard side under the back of the device (doesn't look like that would work at all).

[@leofurda]

I received the keyboard cover for free because of preordering the Tab S9+ in Austria. It's only for using it on a table. I had to buy the slim one, because I mostly use my tab on the lap. But it has one problem no-one is talking about. When you open it, the 45 degree angles behind make the edges very stingy (check video at 3:03) and that forces you to give up on your favourite position of the tablet on your lap. I liked to hold the tablet between my thighs, but now i get stung by those edges. The previous model didn't have that, because the s-pen slot was placed right on that angle. It's not a superficial detail. Yes, you get used to it, but I constantly move my tab on my lap to find a confortable position..it's a very weird move from Samsung. The old model s-pen slot was in my opinion more convenient, you don't want to constantly charge your s-pen and most of the time you don't even need it. I only used it without being charged, because the gestures are just gimmicks and can't look around in public like an orchestra conductor.

[@AndroidDigest]

I used the Bluetooth feature for a PowerPoint a few weeks ago. Other than that I get it.

[@deepsynth3495]

Is the slim keyboard ridged enough to use on a lap. The other keyboard for the track pad is unusable to me

[@leofurda]

@@deepsynth3495 i only use it on the lap and I'm satisfied with it.

[@farishanafiah8461]

If I'm going to use the tablet as my only primary device, the Book cover is definitely the right choice. But if I'm going to use it as a secondary screen for my Windows PC (via Second Screen feature) or use DeX with a PC monitor or a lapdock, then the Slim cover is more than enough.

[@AndroidDigest]

Yep. Good thoughts

[@ljacobs357]

My S9 with a trade-in came bundled with the slim keyboard cover. It is actually quite good. I have a small platic stand for when i detach it. For some reason, I didn't like the S7 full keyboard cover, but did like that it was detachable.

[@AndroidDigest]

Getting it bundled makes a difference!

[@brendalifevlog]

hi. does your screen flickers when you connect/attach and remove the tablet to the keyboard? When in laptop/desktop style? Especially if it's in DARK MODE or the Eye Comfort Shield is ON? SAMSUNG TAB S9 FE here

[@frankbussey3242]

Did you find the keys on the keyboard hard to press to create a letter. Is there a setting to increase the sensivity of the keyboard. I returned mine because it required so much effort to make keystrokes it wasnt worth it.

That smaller keyboard just needs a TrackPoint to make it complete.

[@AndroidDigest]

I just wish the keyboard was slightly bigger. I actually prefer using a kickstand case like the outdoor case Samsung made, and I also can use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. It's more to bring around with you. But that allows me the flexibility to just use it as a tablet when I need to and I still get a better keyboard in the end

[@abrahamroberts2040]

I'm loving the full keyboard for the S9 ultra despite the ridiculous price.

[@ar007r]

I just bought this device. I got the slim keyboard because it is half off. I also just bought a regular mechanical keyboard for it and a magnetic desk stand. It is not like its the snap in old ipad kind that would be a legit pain to take off this is just magnets. I plan to just use it as a case when I travel or when I need a keyboard and Im not at a desk. The other one is nicer but its legit triple the price. It was cheaper for me to get all the other accessories than just the one magnetic keyboard. Not worth it.

[@valeriacuri]

thank you sooooooooooo much, dude

[@AndroidDigest]

Glad to help

[@vinnitec]

thanks for this!

[@CocosBoss007]

for the book cover can you keep the keyboard part separate from the table/kickstand part so you keep a certain distance between then when typing or keyboard must be magnetically attached to the tablet for the keyboard to work?

[@AndroidDigest]

It must be magnetically attached.

[@YouGotPropofol]

Tablet angle matters. The fact that these can’t hold the tablet at 90 degrees is a deal breaker. Often laying on couch, having the tablet tilted away even slightly is not good. Apples Magic Keyboard allows 90 degree and even less. That’s the way to do it.

[@AndroidDigest]

The Dexnor keyboard cover does that. It's a great alternative, very similar to the magic keyboard. The trackpad isn't perfect but I just turn it off. And use a Bluetooth mouse.

[@alfaiate9999]

I cant find the one with the trackpad in europe. Does anyone know why?

[@AndroidDigest]

Not sure on my end. Maybe try some third party marketplaces

[@victorhugorozco]

Thank you for your review and recommendation. I want to inquire if you know of any issues related to the book cover keyboard for the Tab S9, precisely its inability to connect to the tablet. I have attempted various troubleshooting steps, including resetting the keyboard, wiping the cache partition, and adjusting language settings. However, I am hesitant to perform a factory reset.

[@AndroidDigest]

Not really. That's an odd issue. Could be a keyboard defect. Probably that most thing. Or a tablet defect

[@navigatorebrahim7815]

I have an issue with the cover, I have using my tablet for 3month, suddenly the angle of the case can't close properly. Please help how to solve

[@AndroidDigest]

Maybe the magnet wore out? You should have a one year warranty, I'd contact Samsung and try to get a replacement.

[@carloscardenas9660]

I ended picking up a base Tab S9 and had the slim keyboard included for free at Best Buy. I also picked up the regular Book Cover (no keyboard) expensive at $90 but I might return it and get the Outdoor Cover. I'm super happy with the Tab S9 though!

[@AndroidDigest]

So I absolutely love the outdoor cover. Pair that with a good Bluetooth keyboard and it's amazing. Plan to review that soon. Along with my full s9 review

[@bamafaninar9292]

Does anyone know if the angle on the Slim Keyboard Cover about the same as the angle on the smart book cover?

[@AndroidDigest]

I'd love other people's opinions, I think it's about the same, but it's hard to remember.

[@tranminhkhoi6498]

Is it safe to fold the slim keyboard to put on desk while taking notes, considering the pressure applied by your palm and the back pen holder, as they rest on the keyboard underneath?

[@AndroidDigest]

I just don't see why you would fold the slim keyboard back at all. It's meant to be on or off. I wouldn't ever recommend trying to bend it back personally

[@tranminhkhoi6498]

​@@AndroidDigest You do need to fold it back actually or else it took a lot of desk space when writing. I have the book cover (not keyboard) and can't write well unless I detach the front case. The slim really get me with its simplistic but I'm really concern that the keyboard might break.

[@MikeStevens]

I've got the book cover with the trackpad. I mostly love it, but yeah it's a real shame it's basically unusable in the lap - the depth of keyboard means the kickstand is usually too far out past my knees. Not great for typing away at the airport gate... so I guess a laptop still wins in that regard!

[@AndroidDigest]

For sure! It isn't great at everything

[@techbasics6142]

@androidDigest can the keyboard book cover stand in the vertical (portrait) mode.

[@AndroidDigest]

No. Only landscape

[@wavenskie]

Anyone tell me what keyboard will work for A9 plus? Even those folks working at Samsung Store doesn't know

[@AndroidDigest]

If any keyboard would work, it would be the keyboard for the tab S9. I'll have to try it myself though. I plan to test it soon. Otherwise there may be one they are making

[@michal3360]

Is there any issu with scratching the screen by the the keybord button while it is closed for transport? I intend to buy the one with a touch pad but the above issue has not been mentioned in the review.

[@AndroidDigest]

I haven't had that issue, but a tempered glass screen protector can be bought for like $10 to $20. That would alleviate any issues

[@anventia]

Can the Slim Keyboard cover fold forwards with the screen outwards like the Surface Studio?

[@AndroidDigest]

No. Because there's no where to magnetize to when it folds forward. The Surface Studio has a place to attach to when folding forward

I bought the S7 a few years ago and have barely used it. I noticed that the whole tablet experience has become more of a gimmick. It's essentially a phone with a bigger screen. Save your money and invest in a laptop instead.

[@AndroidDigest]

I get why you would say that. Some people don't like to use a laptop and they just want something portable to bring around for light tasks. Or to watch movies on. But for those people that need more productivity, I agree, laptops are typically better at that. I personally use both, and in the end, I use my laptop way more.

how is the trackpad? is it very responsive ?

[@AndroidDigest]

Yes and no. It's good for a trackpad on a thin keyboard case. It's not too bad. But I do find that its so thin and pretty small so if you want to get extra precise I'd recommend just getting a Bluetooth mouse on the side just in case. And if you're worried about the keyboard case being a little crammed, you could always buy something like the Samsung outdoor cover, and you could buy a nice Bluetooth keyboard like the MX keys mini. Which has backlit keys. Then you can get more travel and a better experience. Just a little more to carry

The slim is better, why: - you don’t need trackpad because pen + touch display is way faster and more natural - screen closer to the the hand, so easier to touch, and feel more immerse with content - taking up less space on table, look more sleek and just right for tablet, and easier to work on the lap. - fastest switch from typing position, to drawing positon, just detatch it from the base then lay it flat on top the keyboard, like the logitech slim folio pro - cheaper, like a lot cheaper The same reason i switch from magic keyboard, to logitech slim folio pro in my case, an ipad user. Too bad samsung don’t built backlit to it.
