Introduction

This review delves into the Smart Case designed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 8.7″ (models X110/X115), released in 2023.

From its initial unboxing to daily use and durability testing, I aim to answer the key questions potential buyers might have before purchasing.

Features

The Smart Case is a simple yet effective flip case. The main selling point is its protective nature. The design appears to provide good protection against scratches and minor drops. The case is made from a sturdy, yet somewhat pliable material that feels good in the hand. The interior is lined with a soft microfiber to protect the screen. The case also offers a stand feature for comfortable viewing angles in landscape mode. However, it does not seem to support any other special functionalities.

Performance

The case performs its primary function admirably. My Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 8.7″ fits snugly and securely within the case. The cutouts for ports and buttons are precise, allowing easy access without hindering functionality. The stand feature is surprisingly sturdy, holding the tablet securely at various viewing angles. I tested it’s drop protection by accidentally dropping it from my lap onto a carpeted floor and it protected the tablet perfectly.

Over the course of my testing period, the case has shown no signs of wear or tear. The color has remained consistent. The material shows minimal dust and smudges.
