> 24 hourI just love Spigen. I use their cases on all of my devices for years. Their products are always masterfully designed and made and I always rest easy when I know my precious device rests inside a Spigen case. This time was no different. The case is very well designed and made. The materials feel very premium in your hands and provides great protection for your gentle tablet. The kickstand is well designed and I use it all the time (I just hope it wont break down eventually). It even has an S Pen grip to compensate for Samsungs weird design choice to mount it magnetically on the back of the tablet. One little thing to note about that though is that its fairly hard to pull the S Pen from that grip and can maybe lead to scratches and such in that area of the tablet. The case is not a book-cover style case, which I love because those break down pretty quickly. instead it has raised bezels to protect the screen. The bezels are firm and sturdy and provide a great buffer between the screen and the world. One problem the bezels create is integration with a screen protector. The bezels overlap with the front of the tablet, as small as it may be, could prevent you from installing a screen protector. I could not find a (formal) case-friendly screen protector for the S7+ on Amazon (or Aliexpress for that matter) and even Spigen dont sell theirs on Amzon for some reason. I was lucky enough to stimble upon apikers screen protector which was both cheap and fit perfectly to the screen WITH the case. I recommend first putting on the case and using it as an installation frame for the screen protector. The case grips the tablet very firmly which is both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand it bacomes one with the tablet, never moving or wiggling, and feels tight and perfect on the tablet. On the other hand, it could be a bit of a chore if you ever want to remove the case. Two more downsides for the case: 1. It blocks the keyboard jack on the side so if you thought on using it with the official Samsung keyboard for some reason it wont be possible. I, for one, opted for a simple bluetooth keyboard (which I never use as it is anyway) from the get go. 2. Its pretty heavy. Look, this is a weighty (and large) tablet as it is and Spigens case adds a notable weight to this heavy boy. My take on it is that this tablet is more of a laptop replacement oriented for heavy duty work than an entertainment hub. With that in mind, I think the extra weight is worth the sturdiness and protection it provides. All in all, I think this is the best all around case for the Galaxy Tab S7+. Best design, best quality, best value for money. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourPut a Spigen (and a hardened glass protector) on my Samsung Note 3, went on a cross country road trip and stopped in the Badlands National Park. Got out the car with phone in hand, stood up and somehow dropped that $530 right on the blacktop. Shockingly, on the corner, AND IT BOUNCED UP like a basketball! And the display landed on pebbles. Not a scratch. Not a glitch. Still use it, as a clock, next to the Westclock.

> 24 hourIt works like advertised. Works well, is a bit heavy though, but thats to be expected.

> 24 hourLove this case! It has a sturdy stand and covers the edges well. It fit with my privacy screen protector as well.

> 24 hourSturdy 2 part case with a bit of added weight that I personally like. The case is slim enough to not be bulky but thick enough to be sturdy and add some weight to feel better while holding it, which I like because the tablet without the case feels flimsy and like I will drop it easily. Pen doesnt slide out, and it doesnt get in the way of my screen protector. Ots a 2 part case so the hard outter shell can be tough to remove if youre planning on switching between cases. I feel confident it can handle a drop and not take damage.

> 24 hourI like the fact that this case is extremely durable but the stand is on such a small rail of plastic that it breaks easily. This is my second time purchasing this case because of that issue and I think Im going somewhere else for a more durable kickstand

> 24 hourI have been buying Spigen cases for my Samsung phones and tablets for almost 10 years now. I love that all these cases over the years, for many devices and variations, are consistent in style, quality, and function. This specific case for the Galaxy Tab S8+ is no different. It looks beautiful, functions very well, and it makes holding the tablet much easier. The color and style matches my phone and they look great together. I also use it as a stand for holding up my tablet as I draw on it and its actually pretty useful for me in that regard. Bonus: If you rarely ever use the USB-C port on your tablet like I do (because I use WiFi to transfer data exclusively) I would recommend getting something like a Magnetic USB-C Charger/Data cable with a full 540 Degree swivel function. See: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07WSM9YP5?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details This magnetic cable makes it so you dont need to plug and unplug a USB-C cable into the port of this particular tablet, which other owners have said breaks easily when they kept plugging it in every night to charge. The aforementioned magnetic cable tips fits in the tablet with this specific case very easily and it makes charging simple. It supports data transfer and fast charging. Its as close as you can get with wireless charging for this device. 100% recommended.
