I LOVE this case. Great design and feature set! It was the only case I could find for the S9 that hit all my requirements since I didn't want to spend $200 on the Samsung case that didn't do what I wanted anyway. - Detachable keyboard. (Would have loved to have it use the hard wired connector, but apparently only Samsung makes one. The BT connection has been fast and solid - and I'm happy with the feel and layout of the keys.) - Storage for the SPen - Solid corner protection - Rechargable (that it is USB C like almost everything else I own is a plus) - Works with a screen protector (You have to be a little careful. The first one I ordered didn't work. Get one labeled for use with a case.). [This one worked for me - https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B0CBLV7X7F?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details] 2. No way to keep the case closed and the screen protected if dropped. True, and I knew that when I bought it, but I used extra strong fabric glue and a scrap of nylon webbing to attach a Velcro strip to the case (see photo - the Velcro loops side; the case edge is sandwiched between the webbing and the Velcro and has been stable for daily use), and put a self stick matching Velcro dot with the hooks on the back of the case in the small space between the pen slot and the kickstand. It works well for me. I just tuck the end of the strip under the keyboard edge to get it out of the way if I want to use the trackpad. (A plus to this fix is that the Velcro holds my SPen in place in the back if I'm trying to leave it in the charging slot while having the case closed in my bag.) 3. Misc: It is slightly finicky to get the corners seated smoothly, but once you do, it is fine. I haven't seen any issues with the snaps breaking unlike other users, but I would be fine with replacing them with a strip of self stick Velcro if I needed to. I have had the camera cover pop out a few times, but it isn't a big deal for me. It just snaps back, and that was a bonus feature anyway. I've now had the case for about 8 months of daily use. I would say I'm reasonably careful with the keyboard, but I don't baby it since it goes everywhere with me. I meant to write a review a long time ago, but I can now comment a little on its longevity. It still works perfectly, and I still love it. (I haven't dropped my tablet seriously, though.) Thank you for a great product! This is one of a very few reviews I have ever written on desertcart, and it makes me happy to sing a product's praises. This case adds to the joy I have in my S9. Right now, my only regret is that Samsung appears to be abandoning this lovely, small form factor. We'll see what the future brings. Returning to an iPad or iPad mini wouldn't be my first choice. I love having flagship specs on a small tablet. If they made an 8 inch variation, I'd probably buy that. Review: Keyboard was replaced - Excellent Customer Service!! - I bought this in January and the tablet keyboard is defective. It consistently disconnects during use and curser moves to earlier text. I am writing this using my keyboard and it keeps moving the curser to earlier text and often does not recongize when I am using the keyboard. The case is nice but they keyboard is defective. Update: I am going to update my post from 1 star to 5 start because I contacted the company and they were so fast to respond to me, kindly issued me a replacement at no cost to me and I am typing from my new keyboard which is working great. Very happy with the company's customer service which is just as important as great products. Well done Nillkin!! I did not expect the service you provided. The case is strong and there is a few keyboard clicks for the device to recognize the strokes but this replacement is working great and much better than the first keyboard I received. ## Features - RUGGED DROP PROTECTION — BUILT TOUGH FOR THE JOB SITE — A thickened TPU frame, hard PC back, and shock-absorbing corners give your Galaxy Tab S8+ / S7+ / S7 FE full-body protection that holds up to real life. Set it on a workbench, slide it into a backpack, or hand it to a kid. The military-grade rugged build takes bumps and drops in stride, so the tablet inside stays safe. A faux leather exterior resists dirt and wipes clean after the job. - FITS GALAXY TAB S8+/S7+/S7 FE — CHECK YOUR MODEL IN SECONDS — Made for the 12.4-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ (SM-X800/X806), Galaxy Tab S7+ (SM-T970/T975), and Galaxy Tab S7 FE (SM-T730/T735). Not for Tab S9, S9+, S9 FE, or Ultra models. To confirm, open Settings > About tablet and tap Model Number. If it shows SM-X800, SM-X806, SM-T970, SM-T975, SM-T730, or SM-T735, this case fits. - 7-COLOR BACKLIT KEYS — COMFORTABLE TYPING IN ANY LIGHT — Keys with crisp feedback and a full row of shortcuts make long emails and reports feel quick, not tedious. Pick from 7 backlight colors and 3 brightness levels, so late-night shifts and dim lecture halls are no problem. Pair it with Samsung DeX and your tablet turns into a laptop-like workstation. - PRECISE TRACKPAD WITH PALM REJECTION — TYPE WITHOUT STRAY CLICKS — The multi-touch trackpad handles tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe, and palm rejection keeps your palms from sending the cursor flying while you type. Work through documents, browse, and switch apps without reaching for the screen or carrying a separate mouse. - 0-180° KICKSTAND — DETACH THE KEYBOARD IN SECONDS — The stable kickstand holds any angle from flat to fully upright, in landscape or portrait. Angle it flat to take notes in a lecture hall, tilt it upright for laptop-style typing, or prop it up for movie night on the couch. When you just want the tablet, detach the keyboard and set it aside; put it back when you're ready to work. - 180-DAY STANDBY — S PEN STORAGE WITH CHARGING CUTOUT — A full charge runs up to 100 hours of use with 180 days of standby, and USB-C makes top-ups easy. The keyboard sleeps after 10 minutes of idle time; hit any key and it wakes right up. A built-in holder keeps the S Pen handy, while the back cutout lets it charge in place. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0CFF5JZRW | | Additional Features | Adjustable Stand, Backlit, Camera Cover, Heavy Duty Protection, Shockproof | | Antenna Location | Business, Education, Everyday Use, Multimedia, Personal, Student | | Best Sellers Rank | #139 in Tablet Keyboard Cases | | Brand | Nillkin | | Built-In Media | Keyboard Case, USB Cable, User Manual | | Button Quantity | 78 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus | | Compatible Operating System Family | Android | | Compatible Tablet Computer Models | Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE 12.4", Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ 12.4", Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 12.4" | | Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 485 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Metal, Polycarbonate, Thermoplastic Polyurethanes | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Keyboard Backlighting Color Support | RGB | | Keyboard Description | Multi Functional | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Keyboard Plate Material | Polycarbonate, Thermoplastic Polyurethanes | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Nillkin | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Android 12L, Android 13.0 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Keys | 83 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Recommended Uses For Product | Business, Education, Everyday Use, Multimedia, Personal, Student | | Special Feature | Adjustable Stand, Backlit, Camera Cover, Heavy Duty Protection, Shockproof | | Style Name | Contemporary | | Switch Type | Clicky | | Theme | Movie | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nillkin - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 Plus, Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus - **Connectivity Technology:** Bluetooth - **Keyboard Description:** Multi Functional - **Keyboard backlighting color support:** RGB - **Material:** Metal, Polycarbonate, Thermoplastic Polyurethanes - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Business, Education, Everyday Use, Multimedia, Personal, Student - **Special Feature:** Adjustable Stand, Backlit, Camera Cover, Heavy Duty Protection, Shockproof - **Style:** Contemporary ## Images ![Rugged Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ 12.4 Inch - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pEEJL4DLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Keyboard Case with One Issue - You Can DIY a Fix *by L***L on February 2, 2025* 1.

It didn’t feel right holding my galaxy s7 plus naked. Now I feel like I won’t drop it if I detach it from the keyboard. The keyboard is nice. I love the battery life that’s listed. Very long time before recharging the keyboard. Shortcuts help the flexibility of it. Seems I will never touch my screen ever again. The touch pad is a little bit too sensitive and also not too sensitive depending on what you trying to do. Very easy to connect via Bluetooth. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nillkin for Samsung Galaxy S7 FE/ S7+ Plus/ S8+ Plus 12.4 Inch Keyboard Case,7 Backlight Colors, Magic Trackpad,S Pen Holder,Slide Camera Cover Compatible with Galaxy S8 Plus Tablet Case with Keyboard - SPARIN Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Plus/S9 Plus/S9 FE Plus/S7 FE 5G/S8+ 12.4 Inch, HD Tempered Glass for galaxy Tablet S10+, Anti-Scratch, High Response -2 Pack - F-TECH Tab S8 S Pen (WithBluetooth) Replacement for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S8 Plus/S8 Ultra (EJ-PT870) All Versions Touch Stylus S --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/577554150-rugged-keyboard-case-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-12-4](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/577554150-rugged-keyboard-case-for-samsung-galaxy-tab-s8-12-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
