Is the Tab S4 waterproof? - Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers

Has anyone seen anything that suggests whether the tab has a waterproof rating?
Thanks

Nope, the tablet doesn't have any sort of IP certification, so be careful!

Detachable Sliding Backlight Keyboard Case for Samsung i9300

Anyone seen this ele-bloat Detachable Sliding and Standing Bluetooth 3.0 Backlight Keyboard Case for Samsung i9300 Galaxy S3
before? (google it, i cant post links
Anyone knows where to buy it? Im like "shut up and take my money" but apparently no one WANTS my money.
And i need to know if it has an integrated foll-cover case or if the Screen is unprotected, because if the screen is unprotected, that would be kinda bad.

[Q] Galaxy Tab S 10.5" Keyboard + Cover/Protector/Pouch compatibility?

Hi everyone, this is my first post, so thanks for reading!
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5", and along with it I got the Samsung Bluetooth Keyboard. It's great and sleek; they work really well together. However, I am still wary of scratching up the tablet since the keyboard doesn't come with a cover and only serves as a stand.
I was wondering whether there are any covers for the tablet available that would be compatible with the keyboard; AUA: the tablet will still fit in the keyboard while it has the cover/protector attached. If not, I was wondering if there are any great pouches big and snug enough to keep the tablet folded with the keyboard inside? A pouch might be nice actually since the keyboard itself was rather expensive as well, so keeping it in good condition is preferable.
I hope the answers here help others, too, because I couldn't really find any threads addressing this issue.
Here is the keyboard in question: samsung . com /us/ mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EJ-CT800UAEGUJ
Many thanks!
PS. It would be nice to have a cover/protector to complement this titanium bronze color. Not necessary though :fingers-crossed:
PPS. I know this sorta belongs in the Galaxy Tab S Accessories forum, but I was warned that posting questions there is against the rules.
There should be plenty of netbook cases fitting it.
Aw alright thanks

Hmm well if that's the only option then I guess that's alright with me. I was just hoping that there was a more eloquent solution.
I'll definitely look into it though. Thank you very much for your advice.
I hope Samsung does eventually produce a matching case or pouch for the tab + keyboard.
I have this and it protects the screen while closed (there are 4 plastic holders at the edges) or do you want the backside to be protected as well?

oh yeah it protects my screen well when it is closed. I just wanted something for the back for when I close it and carry it around. I don't want to scratch the tablet anywhere; as little as possible at least
I got the Logitech keyboard instead because it was $50 cheaper and protects both the screen and the back of the tablet. I'd suggest you return the Samsung keyboard and get the Logitech one

Thanks but I tried the logitech one and I didn't like the feel. It felt cheaper. Also they let me buy the Samsung one for 50% off cuz I asked
Haha well to each his own!
I got this one and have only had it a couple days. Keyboard is included and seems to work well.

I have the Samsung book cover that I love but if I wanted a keyboard it would be this one. Very nice at a good price. Good find.
I have this one for a quick running out the door cover, no keyboard. One not so good feature, it's really hard to use it for a stand. Doesn't work well for that but otherwise it's super. I've got one for my Note 3 also.

keyboard cover - can it be flipped over?

The new S4 is marketed as to use with a keyboard, preferably the original samsung keyboard cover. In multiple reviews I've read you can use this cover in only one position. What I would like to know is if you can flip the keyboard completely over (360 degrees) as I would do intuitively when using it as a drawing block using the S Pen.
Wondering that too, I've pre-ordered so will get the keyboard cover free a few weeks after I get the device, so potentially it'll be unprotected during that time. I'll probably buy a case from Amazon (seen one for around £6) to see me through.
From what I saw in store, yes the keyboard can flip over behind the device.
Though I did find this interesting on the Tab S3 the little 1/3 flap behind the tablet secured to the back side of the device automatically, pretty well to hold it in place if you flipped the keyboard over behind the screen. The S4 did not, and there was a little extra slop in the case because of this. Course it might be the security device holding it down but its just something I noticed.
Well, yes and no. It can but backwards. It would have been nice if it was able to fold back with the tablet's back against the keyboard but it actually flips over so that the keys are at the bottom and the tablet is at the top. I'm unsure if this does damage to the keys but its not optimal.
Silly question but...
why not just use the otg cable, plug in your logitech module, and use your logitech keyboard and mouse? For the rare times I need a keyboard, that's what I do. Then the tablet is still easily used as you always would, flip, landscape, etc.
just a thought.

That is a silly question because many folks will use this as a traditional portable tablet as well as an occassional desktop machine. When you are out and about with your expensive tablet, you need a case to protect it from accidents, but this case also needs to be convenient. Leather wallet / folio cases are ideal for this, but (most) obviously don't feature a keyboard. Given how slippery this tablet is, with its all glass rear, I'm guessing that accidents may be relatively frequent!
So the OPs original question is pefectly valid. What is the likely durability of the keyboard when folded right over and sat on the users lap, for example, playing Pokemon on a bus? Perhaps, maybe, the keyboard case is an expensive gimmick and a standard leather wallet case would be a much better option (if such a thing actually exists yet)? The real leather case on my Galaxy NotePro 12.2 has served me extremely well over the years.

Who said the OP question wasn't valid? Who said not to use a case?
I'm merely suggesting an alternative for those of us who don't play "Pokemon on a bus", for example.

Personally, I never play Pokemon, however, my daughter does on her commute to work... and the Tab S4 is her tablet Cables and peripherals are totally impractical in this particular usage case. Everyone has different requirements. Anyway, her "free" keyboard case has just been delivered today, so I'll check it out tonight.

You are welcome.
However, this is an interesting point for discussion, as to how folk plan to make use of their new investment. From what I can work out from my daughter, at home it will be docked into a Cable Matters USB-C hub and used to stream movies over an Ethernet LAN connection, to her HDMI TV, amongst numerous other things. At work, she will use it as a desktop with the keyboard case and a bluetooth mouse. I've already described her commute.
If it were mine, I'd be using it as a passenger navigation device, along with AlpineQuest and a full set of OSGB maps, which is what I currently do with my aging NotePro.
Now that I've received the keyboard case I can confirm that the case can be flipped in such a way that the keyboard faces up, into the rear of the case when using as a traditional tablet. In this mode, the footprint of the tablet extends along a long edge by 38mm, which is due to the way the "fold" works.
Alternatively, it can be flipped with the keyboard facing down, which only extends the footprint by 10mm along the same edge.
First impressions are that it adds a fair bit of weight to the tablet, mainly due to good build quality. The case is pretty solid, but not padded, so it may not be great at absorbing shocks, say from a drop! The keyboard is compact, but has a reasonable feel. Note, that the pen is essential for using the keyboard with DeX as there is no trackpad.
Is it worth the RRP? Err, no, however, as a pre-order "freebe", I've got no grounds to complain.

magnets on 3rd party cases: does the S4 have the same issue?

the Tab S3 had a issue with magnets on 3rd party cases, where it's alleged that the the strength of the magnets can create "dead spots" on the digitalizer — and in some cases, the damage is permanent. the original thread is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/accessories/beware-auto-sleep-tab-s3-t3625213
anyone experience the same issue with the Tab S4?
This is probably the same with the SGTS4. It won't affect the capacitive touchscreen but it will affect the S-Pen.
I have both the Tab S3 and the Tab S4 on magnetic cases and neither tablet has any issue with the magnets, S Pen, dead spots or touch screen.

It depends on how power the magnets are on your case. If the magnets used in your case are extremely powerful then they will interfere with your device and cause those issues.
i figured since the Tab S4 was so damn expensive, i might as well spend the extra and get the official Book Cover and some peace of mind.
surely Samsung's own case wouldn't be problematic ... would it?

It isn't. I have both the official Samsung covers and various 3rd party magnetic covers which I swap out based on what I need for that day. Have not had any issues in the 18+ months with the S3 and the couple of months with the S4. I don't know why there is a lot of FUD around this issue up on both the S3 and S4 forums up here. More likely than not the folks complaining are actually having issues with their S Pen and a broken nib (which is easily replaced). I know when I broke my S Pen nib it started acting up. But the nib replacements are in the box and easily removed and replaced fixing the issue.

Case for M5 Lite 8"

Recently picked up a Mediapad M5 Lite 8". Having a hard time finding a case for it.
Looking for something like this. I don't want any kickstands or anything like that, just the linked type, specifically for the M5 Lite 8". A regular folio case without folding front would work aswell.
In the link, there's an option for "M5 MediaPad M5 8". I'm assuming thats the 8.4" version, since there's no 8" non-Lite version afaik. There are however alternatives for other 8" models. Does anyone happen to know if any of them would fit the M5 Lite 8" aswell?
Also, I need something available from an EU supplier, since the Swedish postal service has started charging an outrageous fee for handling parcels from non-EU countries.
Universal covers always fits badly, and I can't stand those elastic fasteners in the corners, so that's not an option.
Thanks in advance
