ProCase Galaxy Tab A 9.7 Case, Standing Cover Folio Case for 2015 Galaxy Tab A Tablet (9.7 Inch, SM-T550), with Multiple Viewing Angles, Document Card Pocket (Black)

My mom and I have been through a few tablet cases, and just from ware and tear this one has really been one of the best weve used. The slot on the outside is super useful for when we need to put paperwork or notes in it. The levels of where you can mount the screen is nice and I actually feel like our tablet is going to last a while. It doesnt feel like its going to disintegrate like the previous one weve had. Its also super secure inside too. I love how easy it is to take the tablet out and clean it compared to the three holders we had before this one. Im tempted to get another one just as a backup.

It looks great, and fits perfectly, but my case doesn’t seem to have magnets. It doesn’t stay closed, and unlike the case this one replaced, it doesn’t turn the screen off when closed. It’s okay for the money, but the worn out 10 year old case it replaced, still stayed closed and would shut the screen off too.

This is a sturdy case and love the color.

I recently upgraded from the old Nexus tablet to the Galaxy Tab A, so I needed a new case. I spent quite a lot of time searching Amazon for just the right one. Finally, I settled on this one, and crossed my fingers that it would be as nice as it appears in the listing. I wasn’t disappointed. First of all, it’s specially designed for my 2015 Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7 inch. I hadn’t realized until I was searching for cases that this tablet was designed differently than the others. The leather appears very classy and it looks like it’s going to hold up well. The interior is soft enough that it won’t scratch my tablet. It holds my tablet securely (there’s no way it’s going to fall out), and it gives me access to all of my buttons, camera and charging port. It has a magnetic close feature that puts my tablet to sleep when I close the cover, and wakes it up when I open it. The case comes with a stylus/ink pen and holder. This is not something that I would have ever thought I needed – I always used my fingers on my old tablet - but I quickly realized how clean it keeps my screen. No more smudgy fingerprints all over the place. This case has a pocket on the front for tucking papers or a small notepad. It has a built in stand feature – just fold back the case and you have three different angle options (this is only for landscape viewing). I’ve been using it for about 3 weeks and I’m still really happy with it. If you’re searching for just the right case like I was, I feel confident in recommending this one.

What I like is that it has a pocket for slips of paper I need.

Construction, look, feel, functionality, tablet fit, ease of insertion and removal... All 10s, across the board. I cant tell you how many cases (over $300 worth) Ive bought for my tablet looking for something that would optimize my tabletss functionality and protect it fully. Its home now. My requirements are listed below. Previous shopping always required that I figure out which ones I could live without - by trial and error. NOTE: The very last requirement below is a new one that I didnt know was an option until I got this and started using it as a book. My requirements (given - high quality leather-look, tailored) 1) Rugged because I have stone floors in my house. My last leather case was getting scuffed and didnt protect my last tablet when it landed flat on the floor) Ended up buying the otter box defender, but access was an issue. This has stiff, solid cover that fits like a glove with no elastic / stretching material to allow it to shift on impact. The leather box takes all the impact. Its like putting it in a box, and the closure for the case is solid leather secured by Velcro under the sleeve box, and protected by the binding. It has already taken a few hits against my stone floors. The first 3 times I held my breath when I picked it up. I had to replace my pre-otterbox case because the mini-shards got all through the case and wouldnt release (it was like touching fiberglass). 2) Slim so I can drop in my purse, briefcase, hold in a meeting / read without being bigger than a tablet. This is beautifully bound with hand-sewn 1/8 seams. The camera is protected from finger prints and scratches because the cover ends up being 1/4 deep at that point (ingenious, folks) and exactly the right size. Seriously fits like a glove as far as the footprint and hand-holding perspective. 3) Able to take advantage of all tablet features very easily (Im a type-A personality). Everything is instantly accessible. The sleeve fits the tablet face exactly like the defender, except the proximity sensor is not obscured. I can close this and the proximity sensor automatically locks and turns of the screen. This had not been consistent with my cases. I have a border around the back and app buttons and can hit them dead on by touch (beloved otterbox feature). My camera can be a accessed discreetly, just open the case enough so my finger tip can reach the home button, hold and done. Trying to swap the SD card in the otterbox required disassembling the case. Not here. I bent two microcables because of the rubber flap to insert the charger. And, I didnt need dust rugged protecting, just drop protecting. 4) Able to switch cases easily. Every once in awhile, you want a naked tablet to fit in tablet pockets in your daytimer, or in bed. Otterbox, it was a fight to get it out of the case. This thing fits so well I dont want to take it out to curl up with a book on bed, because itll slip out of my hand. To slip it out, just undo the hidden Velcro strip (between the tablet and the sleeve so the tablet helps secure it) and slide (less than 2 secs but 2 hands) 5) Slim pocket to hold papers. You know the ones you occasionally pick up at an impromptu meeting, doctors, store. I wanted a pocket, but they are only available as part of bulky daytimers. If I wanted to tuck then in the case, they had a built-in stand, and folded at the halfway point. Envelopes tucked in there stuck out just enough to get curled when you carried it around. Your only option was to fold them and set them on the tablet face inside the case (watching out for staples), and wait for them to fall out when you picked it up from the wrong side. There is a very slim daytimer desk size pocket on the outside. 6 sheets slide in easily one, handed (3 folded pages), you can double that if you raise the pocket and slide them in. 6) Able to stand it up. I was worried that the brackets to hold the angle werent going to hold it except on a flat surface. Again, they are ingenious (see #7)... The leather ribs hold it at an angle when the surface its sitting on is at an 80° angle! Perpendicular to the desk, and it comes out. 7) Snap shut case. To me this is completely ingenious... The side binding doesnt just fold (flop) over. All the ones Ive tried you know - its like a curved gap you could almost store a slim stylus in. It fits tight. There is hard board in the side binding to square it to the tablet case... And the three ribs for the stand fit perfectly into the space for the tablet. They help stabilize the cover so that it doesnt bend into the sleeve (would wear / scuff over time) and so that the cover goes exactly as farover as it needs to snap shut. The only downside is that because it fits so perfectly, just picking it up to go with me, and closing the cover the kitchen (by habit) locks the screen. It wakes up automatically, but then I have to take the time to enter my pin!! Really? (Yes, Im laughing... Thats a good feature.)

This is a great case. First off, it is very easy to insert and secure the tablet using a velcro strap that is part of the design. Once in the case all of the controls and s-pen are easily accessed. The multiple tilt positions are useful too. I have used this while reclining in bed to watch movies and the case is stable enough to be useful in that environment. The included pen/stylus is also a nice touch. A couple of opportunities to make this even better: 1. When the case is folded open so that the cover rests behind the tablet it covers the camera. It would be nice if there were an opening in the cover to permit camera use when fully open. 2. The elastic loop that holds the pen/stylus is convenient, but feels like it is going to wear out pretty quickly. If this were less elastic and heavier duty I suspect that it would last longer and be more functional in the future. Time will tell on that. Follow Up. Now almost 2 years of heavy use gone bye and the case is still great. The covering on the hinge side is worn so I just got a new one, but could have kept using the original as is or with a strip of duct tape if I was in the mood for that.

We bought our Galaxy Tab A at Best Buy and wanted to get a case like this to not only protect the device but use as a stand to tilt it up. The one at B.B. that was made specifically for the Tab A was $54 ! I thought:Wow! but purchased it, took it home to use it and found it was Not what I expected. There was nothing to hold it in the case except for two little plastic buttons that met up with Two spring loaded holes on the back of tablet that DID NOT lock it in place.I could see where the tablet could just slide out of it while carrying it if given half a chance. We took it back. So then I found this case at a MUCH lower price:less than 20 bucks! So I really wasnt expecting much. Well let me just say,this case was perfect! The tablet fits snug in leather-like frame that allows easy access to all of the buttons and ports. It will never just slip out. The outside is a slightly padded faux black leather with an outside pocket. It folds over the tablet like a book without the use of magnets ( I always thought it counter intuitive to place magnets over wafer thin hard drives). It is stitched nicely and folds so to can tilt the screen to your face in two different angles. Oh yea,It come with a rubber tipped stylus that doubles as an ink pen. Nice little bonus I didnt know I would like so much. lol! So I would have to say this was a great value that I believe will last a long time.

has the case now for nearly 6 years and still very good

Ive had this case for 2 years now. Im just having to replace it. As a caveat, I am a very heavy tablet user. I read for at least 2 hours each day, I travel with it, and play games. I tend to drop it. I do have a invisi-shield screen protector but other than that, this case takes the brunt of the fall. No damage to the actual tablet. I dropped a star off because it does seem to be wearing more than Id hoped. But 2 years use for $20 is worth it. PROS: Auto on/off feature Durability Thick construction Secure fastening. No chance of falling out. Ability to prop up at different levels CONS: Wear at crease of cover (see photo) Heavier than other cases Pen loop insufficient to keep pen in it Needs a strap for your hand to hold tablet upright. Assumption is you will place on hard surface.
