Hey guys, I just bought the Official Book Cover for the Galaxy Tab S2 9.7" version. I'll drop a review video this time next week. Got the black and the gold for my wife. Until then here are some pics. BTW...It's a pretty awesome case!
Official Book Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7"

Hi,
I bought this cover for my tab s2 8.0 but i thought it was terrible. It's hard to attach the tab to the mountingpoints and hard to take off in case you don't want to use the cover. Then i thought that the standingpoint were not very stable. The pad would fall flat lots of times.
I had to take it take to the store.
In my opinion this cover costs too much money not to be 200% perfect.

I think the cover is very good, I agree with you about how hard to put on or remove, to put it on, just lye flat the cover and push the tablet firmly, as to remove you have to put your finger in between the cover and tablet and force it out, with constant removing the contact will get loose over time.
The cover does provide good protection, but with time, the corners do get a little worn out.
Not sure if it's available in your country, but buying it from my country you get a discount upon purchase of the tablet, the discounted price is USD 34 instead of the USD 52 normal price, I'm just waiting to see if other colors are available before I get one, in Hong Kong we have the black, lite beige, gold and I think dark red, I see that other countries have lite blue that I'm after.
Just got the red one last night and I must say, its one good cover. Very sturdy and high quality. Sure there are little nuances to learn but it wasnt an issue propping it up and it protects well.
Very good cover.Using about one month,everything is awesome.Few fixed possitions are very usefull.
Same, bought the black 9.7" cover. I like like it. Just finding it hard to get a screen protector in Australia haha. Been into the Samsung store but they still don't have the keyboard cover.
Got mine (white one) for free with my tab. Very nice and thin product, seems like iPad cover. I'm just waiting for Samsung white keyboard and it will be perfect 
I got my original cover just today,
I had a Rock Leather Case which the plastic edge close to power button broke in a day, and it made the tiny tab S2 so much thicker.
Other than a bit hard to attach the original cover and possibly much harder to detach it, I'm loving it.

I purchased mine via Amazon.com and have had it for about a month now, used without any flaws discovered. At first, I struggled to get the case on but once it was locked into place, it's felt secure every since. Also, the keyboard is pretty awesome.
I like this case a lot except that it's too slippery with the cover folded back. If I try to hold it up in portrait with just one hand it slips... am I doing this wrong...?
I guess it doesn't hut to add another positive review for this book cover. Its nice, slim, smooth refined finish, magnets work great and best of all is low key, not flashy at all. Couldnt be happier
I havent any another problem. I love this case . For me IS best.

sat on
I left my S2 8 on a chair at a meeting and when I returned I found someone sitting on the chair with my tab beneath her.
Looks like no damage.
If this remains true then the Official Book Cover is a great case.

I own one of the original book covers for the Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 and I would highly recommend it for the following reasons:
1) The tablet is protected and still easy to use at the same time, which in my opinion doesn't apply for sleeves and similar solutions.
2) It enables me to put the tablet in a stable landscape orientation, which makes it quite comfortable to write using the internal keyboard.
However, I admit that attaching it was a bit tricky and that so far I did not try to remove it.

Yesterday I dropped my Tab inside it's cover, closed, from about 2 feet. The Tab actually cut through the cover and it dented the Tabs top right corner. The cover even opened and the Tab was resting face down directly on the ground... not so impressed... could have been worse but still... damn I hate that it's not pristine anymore...

If the Tab still works and the screen is not cracked it sounds like it is a great cover.
How did the tab cut through the cover?
Did it come detached from the magnetic holders?

I guess it fell on the front corner and since it's sharp it cut through the cover. It seems the paint chipped off too.
Yeah the screen didn't break but the cover fully opened by itself and the screen ended up on the floor...

I just got this 9.7 case yesterday direct from Samsung with the 50% discount via the tablet registration and it's the best choice. I highly recommend it to anyone. If you are on the fence about it, don't be. It's perfect.
