$350 for a KB cover....... lol, F-no! For that amount of money they should've included some USB ports and a 3.5mm jack, maybe also a full size SD slot to make it more of a Android PC so you don't have to lug a hub with you. Maybe a extra battery to increase the run time. I'm planning on getting a S9 Ultra but only getting a flip tri fold case for it so I can have standup or more laid down so I can use it as a drawing display. I already have a 3 device Logitech k380 keyboard. They're just trying to be like Apple, instead they should bring back features.
Everything I wanted to know. Great job! Thank you. Only additional thing would be what it is like to use on the couch, on your lap, on a bed. I feel like it won't be great in those instances.
Thanks for the review. Even though it's expensive, I think I'll get this tablet with the keyboard/trackpad, as I think it will last for a few years. It does hurt to pay that much for a case though 😂
@@teohontech7141 I have ordered the damn thing already, but didn’t do my homework on the accessories. Fortunately I have found the same keyboard Europe/uk (qwerty) I just feel like they’re going down the apple route. I found a few of the keyboards around the $200 mark which still stings. This keyboard better be good or I’ll be returning the tablet and keyboard. I have two MacBooks, and two iPad Pro’s at least the keyboards on the iPad Pros are pretty good. I just wanted the freedom of android on a large tablet. Time will tell!
I managed to pick up the keyboard and touchpad for $290. It’s still obscenely expensive for a qwerty kb/tp but I had a hands on experience with the tablet which convinced me to pay the extra gbp/usd
On Samsung shop it says Book Cover Keyboard is compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab S9, S9+, S9 Ultra. There is a huge size difference between S9 and S9 Ultra, how will this cover fit them both? There is only one Book Cover Keyboard on sale too.
No. I have used the previous tablet with case for more than a year and no scratches. Unless there is something else between the screen and keyboard to scratch
How practical is the portability? I am between getting s9 ultra or ipad pro 12.9. By deal breaker would be portability but I prefer android because of versatility
They are both portable, but obviously, the 11-inch and 12.4-inch are more portable. Ultra feels like a 14-inch laptop, iPad Pro 12.9 feels like a 13-inch laptop. These are considered, in my opinion, tablet top devices, especially the Tab S9 Ultra
I'm not sure what you are asking. If you have the Samsung keyboard, then you should have the case. If you want to just use the keyboard but case from other brand, just make sure the case only applies to the back like the original Samsung one.
@@teohontech7141 Great thank you. Thats what I wanted to know 😀 I am planing buying a portfolio style case which has a silicon bumper all around. This then wouldn't work with the keyboard ☺️
Are there any Keyboards that support Str + Backspace or a similar shortcut to delete an entire Word? I was at a Store trying out the S9 Ultra (OneUi 5.x) with the Samsung Book detachable Keyboard and I couldn't manage to find a shortcut to delete an entire word. Do other Bluetooth Keyboards support that or is it just a setting in Android/OneUI? Thx in advance!
Two fingers should pan/scroll webpages. That's the default action. Actually I am not sure if you can actually use settings to even set 2 fingers to move the cursor.
Hmm... how does it bend? Are there hinges in there, or isit made of aluminium or one of those metals that can frequently bend without fatiguing easily? Kind of lame if the latter, because it would break eventually, if so.
Hi Teoh, thanks for the review, I'm looking forward to getting a book cover keyboard for the base model (as I prefer a compact tablet for mobility). But what kind of screen protector is suitable if I get myself this book cover keyboard? I don't think the Note Papper will be suitable as it requires me to detach it first which will make the mobility purpose void. Thanks!

Hi to all in Singapore, FYI HOLD FN for 5 seconds enables FUNCTION Button LOCK, so can use all the keys, Volume, Brightness, DEX without FN+Button.

Yeah, it is insanely overpriced. I won't buy it if it wasn't included as a bundle

You'll have to get their laptop looking like stand for that.
Tempted to get s9 ultra with this keyboard. Good review .thanks
Thanks for the review. Even though it's expensive, I think I'll get this tablet with the keyboard/trackpad, as I think it will last for a few years. It does hurt to pay that much for a case though 😂
i'm using the cover keyboard for tab s9 ultra and i see no problems, no defects, no issue. perfect as it is the Tablet it self
can you share what are you using ?
Exceptional review
2:19 my classmate actually cut the flap on the older tab s7 cover off as it left a hump and made the tablet wobbly.
I really love this keyboard 😊
Good video! Thanks for sharing it.
Doest it drains charge of tablet or it requires charging?
How i wish they would also included the backlight options for the tab s9 plus keyboard. 😢
I didnt realize there was 2 different samsung keyboards, and I got the wrong one. The one without the trackpad doesnt detach. 😢
Would the S8 Ultra keyboard cover the same? Would the S8 ultra model fit the S9 ultra? Great review thank you so much!
The connecting side will fit but it's not perfect so magnetic strength will not be as strong, and alignment is slightly off
That is cool ,and Samsung DEX makes it better
The availability in EU and UK is a major problem! It’s available for £330 on the UK Samsung store $415 which is outrageous!
If it’s not included as a bundle, it’s not worth the money to buy it separately

There are different sizes for the Book Cover Keyboard. It's not one size fit all tablets.
useful, thanks
Great video! I have one question, do you know if the keyboard can be used without being attached to the tablet or always needs to be connected?
It needs to be connected. Not a wireless keyboard
@@teohontech7141 thank you!
does the keyboard scratch the screen when closed? seems like it would.....
No. I have used the previous tablet with case for more than a year and no scratches. Unless there is something else between the screen and keyboard to scratch
I'm scared the hinge will wear out, i open it and close maybe twice a day. Any experiences?
It's fine after months of usage for me
i have the S7 Slim keyboard. Never wanted the more expensive version with the touchpad. Why would you want a touchpad when you have a touch screen?
for things like termux x11 a touchpad or a mouse is essiental.
And for the back cover that offers way much more angles of inclination. It is still the best option for me in terms of functionality.
The ability to keep the back cover without the keyboard is nice because I switch a lot.
The angles of inclination is why I would get the book cover. The slim sucks and stays in one place like a laptop @@loreleipenn
@@OlumideGideon-ft3pi Yeah, and even laptops have more inclination angles compared to the slim keyboard.
How can I send messages using enter in this keyboard?
Will my keyboard cover for s8 ultra fit this s9?
No because the attachment parts are located at slightly different places on the side of the tablet.

@teohontech7141 thank you for this It would help alot.
The ultra with book cover goes up to ~1.5 kg though
I thought this was about the keyboard without the track pad...
my keyboard has 3 symbols on most keys besides letters
Is the keyboard compatible when using an offbrand case with also protects the display? So can it be clipped on like with the original case?
I'm not sure what you are asking. If you have the Samsung keyboard, then you should have the case. If you want to just use the keyboard but case from other brand, just make sure the case only applies to the back like the original Samsung one.

If you hold control + shift + left arrow key it will highlight the entire word then you can press backspace to delete,
Does this keyboard works well with two fingers gesture when you want to scroll through a page? Because when i use this gesture the cursor moves
Two fingers should pan/scroll webpages. That's the default action. Actually I am not sure if you can actually use settings to even set 2 fingers to move the cursor.
does the book cover keyboard drains the battery?
Yes, shouldn't be too much battery drain since it's just a keyboard
How does the screen lock with keyboard only
Cmd + L
iPad pro or this?
wait for the next pro if you are an Apple user. I got both (2021 pro) - love the s9 screen . Though I have to get used to the android system...
Is compatible with s8 ultra?
No
@@teohontech7141 thanks!!
Hmm... how does it bend? Are there hinges in there, or isit made of aluminium or one of those metals that can frequently bend without fatiguing easily? Kind of lame if the latter, because it would break eventually, if so.
There is hinge
How long did it take to arrive to you after you bought it?
I can't remember
Can't understand speaker

You can get the clear screen protector, the thin type.
