Sorry am I'm correct that I don't see a review, only photo's.

Only photo's as well that I see.

How is it? I know I thought about it but doesn't look like it will give any great protection on the unit's sides if it drops.

I actually had the 8.4 version before, and I can say it's very good quality, and does give good protection, apart from the two edges, during my visit to china I did pickup a few cases, two of them being a clear tpu case which has the opening for the two clip buttons, so the tpu case can be used in conjunction with the official case which does give out full protection.

This is a smoke colour one, I also have a clear one, I also picked up a few other cases, the other two being a wallet type case, all being less than USD 5, I only post these as it's being related to the official book cover.

Too bad the Book Cover is missing a cutout for the earpiece... could come in handy when using the LTE version as a phone.

I'm not sure if they have one for the LTE version, my two wallet case works well when making calls, and I can hear clearly the person at the other end, even without the cutout.

I've got the SM-T715 and the book cover I got with it doesn't have a cutout (I haven't seen any pictures of a book cover case with cutouts so I don't think it exists).

I like the TPU case with the clip button cutouts you showed... I'll try and get one myself, maybe from ebay if I can find it. Hopefully it can also prevent the accidental button presses I've been having when carrying the S2 8.0 with a book cover in my pocket.

My overall impression of the 8.0 Book Cover

+ Stylish
+ Compact
+ Automatically turns on the display when you open it
+ Many viewing angle positions

- Volume and power buttons are too easy to press when the cover is closed, I've had reboots due to the power button being pressed for too long inside my pocket.
- No cutout for the earpiece.
- No protection of the corners/edges if you drop it while opened.

Brgds...

These TPU case being cheap @ approximate 1.50USD, is reasonable, but they don't have a perfect fit, as the back of the tablet is curved, making the case stick out a little, but shouldn't really bother you that much, here are some more photo's with the tablet in.

Thanks for the pics... have you tried it together with the book cover?
I hope the case will fit inside the book cover (which is pretty snug as it is).

No, not yet, haven't got the cover yet, still waiting to see what other colors are available yet.

The LTE version does exist. Here in Australia anyway. Picked one up the other day for my T710 not even realizing it was an LTE version until I read this thread, lol.

Cool... first time I see it. Not sure if I want to purchase a second one just for the cutout though.

I purchased a Griffin Technology Slim for my Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 since I use it outdoors.
Pictures to follow.
It is a rugged case with openings for head phones, USB, etc. It has a stand in the back that allows you to prop it up in Landscape. It has a protective screen that does not inhibit the touch screen so you can easily use fingertip or stylus while protecting the screen from scratches.
More to follow.

Er... What are you talking about? Samsung Book Cover does not even cover the phone connector, which is located at the bottom of the device. No need for a cutout.

 

[kms108]

I think you are misunderstanding the post, there is a cut out on the book cover for the ear piece for the lte version, the ops has the WiFi version.

I appologize for double posting. If necessary please delete my post regarding Book Cover Tab S2 9.7.

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.
