Samsung Slim Book Cover Keyboard

Pros
  • High-quality construction
  • One of the best keyboard cases available
  • Designed specifically for the Samsung Galaxy Tab
Cons
  • Expensive

The most expensive case on our list is also one of the most reliable options: Samsung's official Slim Book Cover Keyboard. As you'd expect from Samsung, it's made from high-quality materials and fits the Tab S8 perfectly. It's also one of the lightest, slimmest keyboard cases available — excellent for working on the go and traveling. It has built-in S Pen storage and a free angle hinge to adjust your tablet to the perfect typing angle. This case also comes in black, making it an excellent professional choice for those who use their tablet for work.

Fintie Keyboard Case

Pros
  • PU leather cover
  • Variety of colors and designs
  • Backlit keyboard
Cons
  • S Pen holder is obstructed

Fintie's keyboard case is one of the best options if you're after a combination of style, reliability, and value. The backlit keyboard makes working in even the darkest environments a cinch, cycling through seven different colors and two levels of brightness. Unlike some other keyboards, this one's constructed from ABS material, with an excellent tactile response, so typing emails and work reports is a breeze. You can also choose from three different viewing angles.

The sleek PU leather cover comes in black, gray, navy, or rose gold, or you can choose one of the three quirky illustrated designs, including a cool galaxy design, pictured. The case protects your S8's screen from scratches, while a hard PC shell ensures your tablet isn't going anywhere, and anti-slip rubber lining gives an additional layer of protection from impact. The keyboard is easily detachable, too, so you can use the cover separately.

ProCase Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Stylish leather case
  • Keyboard has excellent tactile response
  • Super slim and light
Cons
  • Only comes in black
  • No backlighting

With its sleek leather outer and soft anti-slip interior, ProCase's keyboard case is a must if you're serious about protecting your tablet. There's one thing that this case doesn't have compared to some of the others on our list, though: backlighting.

But if you don't need a backlit keyboard, then this is an excellent case to get. The soft lining protects your screen from scuffs and scratches, while the leather exterior (only available in black) looks professional enough for the office. Ultra-slim and lightweight, it's great for throwing in a bag or backpack, and the detachable keyboard features a spring mechanism under the keys for fast, accurate typing. Speaking of the keyboard, it's made from high-quality ABS materials and is easy to detach if you don't need it.

Infiland Backlit Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Seven-color backlit keyboard
  • Secure case closure
  • Adjustable angle
Cons
  • Complicated pairing

You shouldn't have to scrimp on protection just because you need a keyboard for your tablet, and this case from ProCase ticks all the boxes. The secure hard case has a buckle closure, keeping your S8's screen safe from scratches. The keyboard easily detaches, and you can choose from seven different backlighting colors, while anti-slip grooves hold your tablet firmly at your chosen angle for comfortable typing. Infiland's keyboard case offers excellent value for money, but pairing it with your tablet seems quite complicated — worth bearing in mind if you're not a tech-y type.

Typecase Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Seven backlighting colors
  • Easy and comfortable typing experience
  • Has an S Pen holder
Cons
  • Bulkier than others on the list

Available in a cute pink and a professional black shade, this keyboard case is versatile enough to suit your style and work needs. The keyboard has seven backlighting colors and three adjustable brightness levels, so you can customize it according to your preferences. It's designed in a way to facilitate easy and comfortable typing, so it's ideal for people who spend long hours clicking away at their desks. It also has some handy shortcuts so you can get the job done fast. If you want more, the case also doubles up as a stand for hands-free viewing.

Doohoeek Backlit Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Lockable trackpad
  • Three viewing angles
  • Backlighting with shortcut keys
Cons
  • Compact build

This one comes with a handy trackpad that can be locked away when not in use. You also get seven backlighting colors with three levels of brightness, so you can type anytime, anywhere without worrying about lights. The shortcut keys make your job easier, and the detachable keyboard means you can get rid of it if you just want to read or browse the net. For added convenience, you can tilt the case into three viewing angles for the best view.

Iveoppe Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Auto sleep/wake function
  • Works 200 hours on a single charge
  • Anti-slide design
Cons
  • Tablet goes to sleep when the case is folded

If you're in the market for a budget keyboard case that gets the job done, this one's for you. It works for 200 hours on a single charge if you're not using backlighting and about six hours with backlighting on. The keyboard is detachable, so you can set it aside when it's not needed. The keys are well spaced out so you don't press other keys by accident, and you also have access to various shortcut keys for more efficiency. While you're being productive, the case's anti-slide design ensures there are no accidental slips or bumps. The auto sleep/wake function is a nice add-on as well.

Nulaxy KM12 Backlit Keyboard with Detachable Leather Cover

Pros
  • Multiple backlighting and brightness options
  • Detachable magnetic leather cover
  • Cover doubles as a tablet stand for typing
Cons
  • No tablet screen protection

The final pick on our list is this keyboard cover from Nulaxy. You can choose from five backlight colors to suit your mood, along with three levels of brightness, ensuring your keyboard is visible no matter what lighting conditions you're working in. This keyboard also boasts up to 60 days of battery life on a full charge. It comes with an attached PU leather cover to protect the keyboard, but it isn't technically a tablet case, so there's no protection offered for your Tab S8 — you'll need to grab a separate case. However, it doubles as a folding stand for your tablet when the keyboard is in use.
