SUPCASE for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Case with Stand (Unicorn Beetle Pro), [Built-in Screen Protector & S Pen Holder] Full-Body Heavy Duty Tablet Cover for Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 2022, Ruddy

This case as with all of the other Unicorn Beetle Pro options for other devices is excellent. There are a couple of changes that I personally make to every one of Supcase's offerings to better suite my needs though. First off, I remove the integrated screen protector. As these cases aren't dustproof, it's only a matter of time before some debris becomes lodged in between the screen and the protector. That will enhance the likelihood of scratches on the screen. The other change that I make is that I use a precision razor to cut off the charging port flap. In all prior iterations of this case that I have used, it was with various iPad Pro models. When combined with a tempered glass screen protector, it causes issues due to the thickness of the screen protector and the face of this case. The result is that it puts too much pressure on the face of the device/protector and then lifts sections of the glass, or forces the screen further into the chassis of the tablet itself. As such, I've found that when using this family of cases, it's better to use a film bases protector. This is specifically my personal experience and exclusive to iPad Pros. The upside is that film bases matte screen protectors are better for the Apple Pencil experience anyway. So, here we are with this on the Tab S8 Ultra, but I have a glass screen protector installed at this time. Will it last way? I don't know. What I do know is that I like this case enough that if it doesn't work out with the combination of tempered glass and this case, I'll keep the case, and switch to a clear film protector. You won't want to use a matte protector with the S-Pens. The soft nib will wear very quickly. I didn't mean for this to turn into a screen protector review, but it is a SIGNIFICANT consideration regarding this case in all of my prior experiences with other (Apple specifically) devices in the past. That consideration aside, this is an EXCELLENT product that makes this tablet usable as a tablet. No more of accidental screen presses and hurting hands due to the thinness of the device when bare. I HIGHLY suggest not getting this case if you intend to regularly use the Samsung Keyboard Cover. Removal of this case and then reinstalling after each time using the keyboard cover is tedious at best. There are tons of portable bluetooth keyboards that offer a better typing experience anyway...So all isn't without hope.

There are essentially two types of mobile device (phone, tablet) cases - folio or open, with variations between both. A folio case is enclosed, like a book, and covers the front and back of the device; this type of case is more commonly found on tablets and notebooks. An open case has the front (display screen) exposed and is more commonly found on smaller devices like phones for easier access to the screen. Both can provide adequate extra protection, depending on device and case, and your use. This case is in the latter category of an open case. And as a review preface, this tablet is huge - laptop or notebook territory. With this case on, it measures over 15" corner to corner, and weighs almost 3 pounds (2lb 12+ oz). You need a case. And this is a good one - probably the most protective (with caveats) of any case out there, hence the weight and bulk. It will protect from most drops, bumps and scrapes from normal use, though obviously won't protect it from a drop from a high building or running over with your car, but otherwise your expensive tablet should fare well from the usual tablet accidents. It completely encloses the tablet front to back, and the back is well protected with a combination of ballistic plastic and cushioning rubber. The (minor) downside of this case is the minus common to all open cases - the display screen is exposed. And what a screen - just slightly smaller than the tablet itself, with a tiny bezel. This will be the contact point with daily use - hands, stylus, a tabletop or a face-down drop. You get the picture. The screen glass itself is pretty tough, but it needs some sort of cover to prevent scratches at a minimum, and that's what this case provides - the minimum protection. On the plus side, it's a built-in screen cover - nothing else needed except installing the tablet in the case - a tradeoff of convenience over protection. On the minus side, it's a built-in screen cover, meaning you can't replace it without replacing the case (with one exception below). And as a screen cover, it's minimal - thin hard plastic, subject to hard-to-remove smears, relatively easily scratched from debris, and no shock protection - any hard impact will translate directly to the tablet screen. The raised bezel on the case is fairly substantial and will protect from a flat drop, but not from an irregular impact on the screen, and here the screen cover provides almost no protection. As an alternative - and one I recommend - you can remove the built-in cover (easy to do with a hair dryer and peeling it off) and install a tempered glass protector, which will protect both from impact and scratches, and be much easier to clean. Then you get the best of both worlds - top notch protection for tablet and screen. But you need to modify the case to do that, so not perfect as-is, but fixable. As an open case, this is one of the best, with suggestions as noted.

Good case overall. You will have trouble using finger print to unlock most times. I will have to do it over again and add a second finger to confirm. So far my thumb has issues to unlock the tablet when the case is on. Also, there is no handle to allow you to easily carry it. But the case itself offers great protection.

I was a SUPCASE user with my Samsung Note 5. It saved my phone 10s of destructive falls. The only issue was, plastic started to get brittle and lost chunks of it all around after 7 years of heavy use (after 7 years, it still looks like brand new). With that good protection experience I immediately got this case for my new S8 Ultra tablet. It has a great build quality, and perfect fit. It makes it a bit chunky to hold, but I kind of like that, it gives my confidence with the sturdiness of the tablet. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for the most protective case. The only drawback I have is with the front screen protector that is part of the case. It makes the screen pretty reflective, and less usable in bright daylight outside. Besides that, it is just perfect!!!

This case isn't playing around. I've only ever used tablet cases that function more like a book cover. This one is a lot like the old Otterbox cases I used to get for my phones and iTouch music player. The rubber/silicone binding between the front screen protector and the back hard plastic was so strong that it made the initial separation to get the tablet installed pretty difficult despite the instructions to use a coin to help with the process. After I finally finished reassembling the case with the tablet, I thought to myself, "I hope I never need to take this thing off again," only to realize I hadn't inserted the micro sd card into my tablet. This case feels as rugged as it advertises though I don't plan on intentionally testing its claims; it provides me greater peace of mind with my six year old and four year old kids hovering around my expensive tablet, waiting to pounce. The case is worth the money, but don't make the same silly mistake I did. Make sure the micro SD card you want for expandable storage is already in there before placing your tablet in this case. This case is made to protect your tablet for the longhaul.

Best protection

Great case, heavy duty and well made. I know that it will protect my expensive tablet!

I have been using this case for two weeks now. I feel confident that this case can protect my tablet from falls. This case brings its own screen protector. I didn't want to install it on my tablet with it because I thought the screen would lose sensitiveness but actually, it works the same. The only thing that I noticed is that the fingerprint feature to unblock the tablet doesn't respond very well now. Sometimes it does, some times it doesn't. Before it worked 100% of the times, now it works 50/50. Not major issue. The only complaint I have about this product is that now my tablet is very heavy. I get tired quickly when I hold it with one hand. I highly recommend the product and the seller.
