OtterBoxDEFENDER SERIES for 8.4-Inch Samsung Galaxy Tab S Black

I can't praise these OtterBoxes enough! This is my second Defender series OtterBox. One for my 3rd generation ipod touch and now my Samsung Galaxy Tabs 8.4 inch. I absolutely love them both. I have dropped my ipod on cement from waist height and not had a single problem. I'm more careful with my tablet, though. I have dropped it, but not as drastically. Still no problems with it.I LOVE that the whole thing can be closed up to protect my screen! I, somehow, didn't catch that at first and my tablet flew out of my purse at a sudden stop. The screen did get a small gouge on the bottom left, but it hasn't bothered me enough to call OtterBox for a replacement. That, by the way, is an awesome company to do that. My husband has a 4th generation ipod touch and he had an OtterBox for it which broke. He called and said it had broken and they sent him a brand new one for free. What an awesome company!I kept my tablet safe at home in its original packaging when not in use until my OtterBox came. I trust their products to keep my device safer than I could.ProsIt has two parts to protect my tabletIt is very durableHas its own screen protectorHas a kickstand in the "lid" or base (it does only hold the tablet in landscape view, not portrait)ConsThe case does make the tablet noticeably heavierThe spot where the headphone/aux jack goes is too small to fit. I had to do as another reviewer mentioned and take my ceramic knife to the plastic part on the jack and pare it down on two sides so it will go in easily. Or maybe you can find a slimmer cord end.There is no opening to get to the SD card slot. You have to take the whole case off. Not the end of the world, just an inconvenience.Overall, I LOVE it!

I like the shell/base that snaps on and off. It fits tightly and can be placed on the front to protect the screen during transportation or snapped onto the back and out of the way during use. The fact that it doubles as a stand is a bonus. As others have mentioned, this base is useless holding the tablet in the portrait orientation but works well in the landscape orientation. The built in screen cover works as a temporary solution but scratches easily. Since there is no adhesive binding the cover to the screen an inevitable air gap reduces touch sensitivity and eventually allows dust and debris between it and the actual screen. I bought this hoping I could remove the built in screen protector and install a glass one on the tablet. The built-in plastic one came out easily and the glass one I bought fits nicely. I haven't dropped my tablet but I would rather do it with this thing on than without it.

I am a student who spends a lot of time using the Tab, especially for reading assignments. Unless you absolutely refuse to do anything to compromise the Tab's slimness, this case is the best one for almost everyone (with one major alteration). It fits snugly, the stand doubles as a screen protector (why didn't they post a picture of this?), and the clear plastic screen protector is passable. However, after a day or so, the clear plastic starts to form rainbow distortions between it and the screen. Other posts have more info on this. If you're obsessive like me about protecting the original screen, the way to get the best overall package is to combine it with a tempered glass screen protector. Here's what I recommend:I purchased the Skinomi tempered glass protector, which goes on great, is a perfect fit, and feels better to the touch than the original screen. However, taking the case's screen protector out makes the edges of the case flex when you place your thumb on it. The answer is to use the adhesive from the Otterbox screen protector. After installing it the tempered glass, I CAREFULLY pulled the plastic screen protector out of the case, then CAREFULLY pulled the adhesive from each side of the plastic screen and re-inserted it where it originally held the plastic screen cover. You don't have to do the top and bottom - just the sides. Put the Otterbox case in and...Viola! The screen looks and feels fantastic, and the case edges do not flex. THIS is the perfect setup, in my opinion. Takes some time, but it's worth it. Enjoy!

Otter Boxes are simply the highest level of protection.

Très bonne coque de protection, avec un verre de protection en plus pour la vitre et la tablette est bien entourée :)La coque est légère, à voir dans le temps.

An excellent, functional, aesthetic and tough case system. Have used it for S1 Tablet protection and hands-free viewing via integrated stand for years. Only one rubber corner is loosening slightly after years of daily use. Well done.

Fantástico. Protege la tableta

La cover calza come un guanto, è ben realizzata e offre ottima protezione, assieme vi è anche una sorta di coperchio ulteriore, che si può posizionare sulla parte frontale della cover in modo da formare una "enclosure" totale per il tablet oppure attraverso un leveraggio funge da stand per tenere il tablet in posizione semi verticale (dal lato lungo ovviamente, per vedere video principalmente). Davvero consigliata!
