Does such a thing exist? If so I can't find it... I want to get an SM-T719 to replace my TabS SM-T705 as my primary device but can't seem to find the keyboard cover. I've been using my TabS with a non-book Samsung keyboard for a couple of years now, and when the Tab S2 originally came out all that seemed to exist was the book keyboard case. I see now that a non-book keyboard exists for the larger 9.7 S2, but can't find one for the 8.0. The 9.7 is a bit big to carry around all the time, and lacks the earpiece so would be speakerphone/headset only for me.
Tab S2 8.0 Keyboard Cover (not book)

I was after one also but it doesn't seem to exist. Went with a foldable bluetooth keyboard instead.
How about this ?:

If i were to get a keyboard, i would probably opt for a folding bluetooth one which i can carry separately if necessary and also use it with other devices. Dedicated keyboards become obsolete when the device is obsolete. This would also keep the S2 thin and light

Agree on separate keyboard for the same reasons. I have a Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard that is ultrathin and works great with my Tab S2 8.0 and my iPad Air 2. I have a keyboard case similar to the Finite case you linked to for my Air 2 but never use it due to the extra size & weight it adds plus that it's not comfortable to use when folded back open for handheld tablet use.

Sparksd, I also found the cover flap on the Fintie to be a bit cumbersome. I am now using a cheap TPU case from eBay (China). I had orginally ordered the case first but it took more than a month to deliver. The Fintie was purchased on Amazon Prime and was delivered within a few days. The Fintie is good if you need to stand it up. I prefer the simplicity and thinness of the TPU case. That is what i have been used to with my old Tabu plus. It gives me some shock/drop/fingerprint (back) protection and better grip without any bulk. This time, I did not even bother with a screen protector. I carry the S2 24/7 in my shoulder bag. So far no scratches.
