Samsung Slim Book Cover Keyboard

Pros
  • High-quality construction
  • One of the best keyboard cases available
  • Designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab
Cons
  • Expensive

The most expensive case on our list is also one of the most reliable options: Samsung's official Slim Book Cover Keyboard. As you'd expect from Samsung, it's made from high-quality materials and fits the Tab S8 perfectly. It's also one of the lightest, slimmest keyboard cases available — excellent for working on the go and traveling. It has built-in S Pen storage and a free angle hinge to adjust your tablet to the perfect typing angle. This case also comes in black, making it an excellent professional choice for those who use their tablet for work.

Fintie Keyboard Case

Pros
  • PU leather cover
  • Variety of colors and designs
  • Backlit keyboard
Cons
  • S Pen holder is obstructed

Fintie's keyboard case is one of the best options if you're after a combination of style, reliability, and value. The backlit keyboard makes working in even the darkest environments a cinch, cycling through seven different colors and two levels of brightness. Unlike some other keyboards, this one's constructed from ABS material, with an excellent tactile response, so typing emails and work reports is a breeze. You can also choose from three different viewing angles.

The sleek PU leather cover comes in black, gray, navy, or rose gold, or you can choose one of the three quirky illustrated designs, including a cool galaxy design, pictured. The case protects your S8's screen from scratches, while a hard PC shell ensures your tablet isn't going anywhere, and anti-slip rubber lining gives an additional layer of protection from impact. The keyboard is easily detachable, too, so you can use the cover separately.

ProCase Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Stylish leather case
  • Keyboard has excellent tactile response
  • Super slim and light
Cons
  • Only comes in black
  • No backlighting

With its sleek leather outer and soft anti-slip interior, ProCase's keyboard case is a must if you're serious about protecting your tablet. There's one thing that this case doesn't have compared to some of the others on our list, though: backlighting.

But if you don't need a backlit keyboard, then this is an excellent case to get. The soft lining protects your screen from scuffs and scratches, while the leather exterior (only available in black) looks professional enough for the office. Ultra-slim and lightweight, it's great for throwing in a bag or backpack, and the detachable keyboard features a spring mechanism under the keys for fast, accurate typing. Speaking of the keyboard, it's made from high-quality ABS materials and is easy to detach if you don't need it.

Infiland Backlit Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Seven-color backlit keyboard
  • Secure case closure
  • Adjustable angle
Cons
  • Complicated pairing

You shouldn't have to scrimp on protection just because you need a keyboard for your tablet, and this case from ProCase ticks all the boxes. The secure hard case has a buckle closure, keeping your S8's screen safe from scratches. The keyboard easily detaches, and you can choose from seven different backlighting colors, while anti-slip grooves hold your tablet firmly at your chosen angle for comfortable typing. Infiland's keyboard case offers excellent value for money, but pairing it with your tablet seems quite complicated — worth bearing in mind if you're not a tech-y type.

Typecase Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Seven backlighting colors
  • Easy and comfortable typing experience
  • Has an S Pen holder
Cons
  • Bulkier than others on the list

Available in a cute pink and a professional black shade, this keyboard case is versatile enough to suit your style and work needs. The keyboard has seven backlighting colors and three adjustable brightness levels, so you can customize it according to your preferences. It's designed in a way to facilitate easy and comfortable typing, so it's ideal for people who spend long hours clicking away at their desks. It also has some handy shortcuts so you can get the job done fast. If you want more, the case also doubles up as a stand for hands-free viewing.

Doohoeek Backlit Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Lockable trackpad
  • Three viewing angles
  • Backlighting with shortcut keys
Cons
  • Compact build

This one comes with a handy trackpad that can be locked away when not in use. You also get seven backlighting colors with three levels of brightness, so you can type anytime, anywhere without worrying about lights. The shortcut keys make your job easier, and the detachable keyboard means you can get rid of it if you just want to read or browse the net. For added convenience, you can tilt the case into three viewing angles for the best view.

Iveoppe Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Auto sleep/wake function
  • Works 200 hours on a single charge
  • Anti-slide design
Cons
  • Tablet goes to sleep when the case is folded

If you're in the market for a budget keyboard case that gets the job done, this one's for you. It works for 200 hours on a single charge if you're not using backlighting and about six hours with backlighting on. The keyboard is detachable, so you can set it aside when it's not needed. The keys are well spaced out so you don't press other keys by accident, and you also have access to various shortcut keys for more efficiency. While you're being productive, the case's anti-slide design ensures there are no accidental slips or bumps. The auto sleep/wake function is a nice add-on as well.

Nulaxy KM12 Backlit Keyboard with Detachable Leather Cover

Pros
  • Multiple backlighting and brightness options
  • Detachable magnetic leather cover
  • Cover doubles as a tablet stand for typing
Cons
  • No tablet screen protection

The final pick on our list is this keyboard cover from Nulaxy. You can choose from five backlight colors to suit your mood, along with three levels of brightness, ensuring your keyboard is visible no matter what lighting conditions you're working in. This keyboard also boasts up to 60 days of battery life on a full charge. It comes with an attached PU leather cover to protect the keyboard, but it isn't technically a tablet case, so there's no protection offered for your Tab S8 — you'll need to grab a separate case. However, it doubles as a folding stand for your tablet when the keyboard is in use.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for $200? It’s possible with this offer
A look at the front and back of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9.

If you've had your sights set on upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for a while, don't miss this chance to buy the tablet at up to $600 off through Samsung's promotional trade-in credit program. The version of the device with 8GB of RAM and 128GB for storage is usually sold for $800, but in exchange for an eligible device, you'll only have to pay as low as $200 for it. The offer isn't going to last forever though, so if you want to take advantage of one of the most interesting Samsung Galaxy deals right now, you should hurry with the transaction!

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is the smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, which in turn is already succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is still a fine purchase right now, with snappy performance provided by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with 8GB of RAM. The tablet is also equipped with an 11.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen with 2560 x 1600 resolution, a memory card slot for up to 1TB of additional storage, the S Pen stylus, and an IP68 rating for water resistance.

Last chance to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with this deal
The screen on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung's latest generation of flagship smartphones are almost here, but you've still got time to take advantage of Samsung Galaxy deals for pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The unlocked 512GB model is available for $1,300 instead of $1,420, for a free storage upgrade from 256GB that's being sold at the same price, and you'll get additional Samsung Credit of $80. You also have the chance of instant trade-in credit of up to $900, so there's a chance of technically just having to pay $320 for this fantastic mobile device. You need to hurry though, as pre-orders are closing in less than two days!

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has already broken records with massive pre-orders, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the model that's drawing the most interest. It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite for Galaxy with 12GB of RAM for extremely smooth performance, and its 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen has QHD+ resolution and an up to 120Hz refresh rate. Also, take a look at this camera setup: a 200MP primary camera with optical image stabilization, a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, a 10mp telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and 100x space zoom.

It's set to be an exciting year for smartphones with the arrival of Samsung's new Galaxy S25 lineup. With all three models featuring a bespoke version of Qualcomm's most powerful silicon to date and a wealth of new Galaxy AI features, and the usual gorgeous AMOLED displays, they're more compelling than ever.

The Galaxy S25 might be the runt of the litter, but it's still a pocket-sized powerhouse — and it doesn't come cheap. At $800, you'll definitely want to shield it from the bumps and scrapes of life. That starts with a robust case, but don't forget the screen. After all, its the most fragile part of any phone, and the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 only goes so far. Adding some extra protection is a good idea, particularly if your phone spends time in a purse or backpack alongside keys and other abrasive items.
