The Samsung Galaxy Tab 9+/FE+ Book Cover Keyboard is a great accessory. Good: (1) Light Weight compact profile, (2) protected and removable storage space for the S-Pen enabling a fully charged and ready S-Pen, (3) handsome folio appeal and, (4) fully functional keyboard. Bad: (1) In contrast to S7+ and S8+ keyboard cover slim, the storage slot for the pen no longer follows the keyboard leaving a feel of a less stable keyboard cover when seated on the lap - the back feels like it dips as opposed to remaining a solid component. (2) Material picks up finger prints easily. (3) Only 1 viewing position. (4) Cover does not protect outer edges or corners of the tablet. (5) No backlighting for the keys.
Bottom Line: Recommended. Despite the noted deficiencies, the book cover keyboard slim performs as advertised and serves as the basis to enable productivity. Pair this with an external blue tooth mouse or utilization of the S-Pen and you've converted the tablet into a a fully operational workstation. What would make this tablet great is protection on the corners, back lighted keyboard, and return of the optional storage after the keyboard without removing the protected S-Pen charging storage.
Closing magnets are a bit too strong and overall weight is a higher than I wanted. But then for the memory I wanted, the tablet is a bit heavier than my old Tab S3.
Nice and smooth, And works great Very satisfied, especially when it was for free with my Galaxy S9+ tablet. So I had to purchase Galaxy Buds2 Pro to Make it complete. Very satisfied with them all. Thank you, Samsung.
Very nice keyboard/cover. Arrived in great condition and works as expected. Love that it is a QWERTY style keyboard (as opposed to what came on the tablet).
