Pros
  • 360-degree protection
  • S Pen holder
  • Fold-out kickstand
Cons
  • Heavily rugged look isn't for everyone

First up on our list is the UB Series Pro case from Supcase. This full-body rugged protective case features a built-in screen protector for 360-degree protection and a handy fold-out kickstand for hands-free viewing. It provides military-grade drop protection against long drops, throws, and falls thanks to its multilayers of protection constructed from shock-absorbing TPU and tough polycarbonate, with a TPU bumper for added screen protection. This scratch-resistant case also features an S Pen holder on the back, perfect for stashing your stylus on the go. The heavily rugged look may not be for everyone, but it’s still a great protective option.

SaharaCase Multi-Angle Case

Pros
  • Cover folds into a kickstand
  • Supports auto sleep/wake function
  • Raised bezel around the screen

Cons
  • Quite expensive

This vivid aqua case from SaharaCase stands out in a crowd for all the right reasons. The front folio cover is crafted from PU leather, protecting your tablet’s screen from scratches and drops while also folding back into a handy kickstand. A soft microfiber interior provides added screen protection, and the case automatically wakes your tablet when opened, putting it to sleep when closed to conserve battery life. We love that this case includes a raised bezel around the screen for added protection against drops and scrapes. There’s even an in-built S Pen holder to keep your stylus on hand. However, it’s on the expensive side for a tablet case.

Cons
  • It isn't cheap

This lightweight, sleek case from Samsung costs a bit more than some others on our list but is worth every penny.

The free-angle hinge adjusts to two different positions that are perfect for viewing, sketching, or taking notes, and there’s an auto sleep/wake feature to conserve battery life and ensure your tablet’s always ready to go when needed. Onboard storage for the S Pen inside the cover is also handy when traveling. Pick this case up in a choice of five colors — we’d go for the light green, pictured. However, it will set you back a pretty penny.

Pick it up in two-tone Stormy Gray/Charcoal Gray or Arcadia Navy/Moody Gray.
