The best Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra keyboard cases for 2022

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab S8 Tab tablets have much to offer. If you want to go big, consider the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, a beast of a tablet with a 14.6-inch AMOLED screen. One of the most useful parts of these large tablets is how they can serve as a laptop substitute or alternative when necessary. For that, you need a reliable, tablet-friendly keyboard, preferably one that complements your Tab Ultra case.

We've rounded up some of the best options below. If you’re interested in the full setup, be sure to check out our picks for the best wireless mice, too.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra Book Cover Keyboard

Best keyboard case for the Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra

Pros
  • Easily the best keyboard case available for the Ultra
  • Can hold the S Pen too
  • Includes a fold-out 60-degree stand
Cons
  • Expensive

This Book Cover is the standard for Ultra keyboard cases, and because of the Ultra’s large size, it’s tough to find a combination of keyboard and case anywhere else but straight from Samsung. If you really need both accessories together, this is the pick for you. The cover also includes a fold-out 60-degree stand for working on your Tab wherever you are and a detachable S Pen holder if you frequently switch to stylus work. The battery-powered keyboard can also last up to three months without needing another charge. All this, and the Book Cover still remains very slim, easily compatible with any other sleeves or cases you may be using. The only thing to note is that it may take a little getting used to typing on such a flat keyboard.

Nulaxy KM12

Best backlit keyboard option

Pros
  • Five backlight colors
  • Comes with its own cover that can fold into a stand
  • Three levels of backlight brightness
Cons
  • Battery life could be better

Other keyboard-and-case combos are difficult to find for the S8 Tab Ultra, but there are ways to compromise while still getting many portable benefits. Nulazy’s option is to combine a keyboard and a PU leather cover that protects the keyboard when not in use but can fold out into a stand for your tablet whenever you are ready to type. It’s also a good pick if you prefer plenty of backlighting options, including five different backlight colors and three levels of brightness to choose between. The battery can last for up to 60 days on a full charge (less if you’re really taking advantage of the backlighting).

YEEHi Color Keyboard for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

Yeehi Color Keyboard

Best colorful option

Pros
  • Great color options
  • Built-in S pen holder
  • Affordable price
Cons
  • May be too colorful for office use

If you want to add a pop of color to your workspace, consider this bright Yeehi color keyboard available in a wide range of eye-catching colors. It sports a soft TPU back with a non-slip design so your tablet is safe from dust and accidental slips. It also has a built-in S pen holder, so everything is conveniently in one place when you sit down to work. It may be a bit flamboyant for office use, but it makes for a great WFH option.

AMZCaSE keyboard case for Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra.

Amzcase Keyboard Case

Pros
  • Offers three user-friendly viewing angles
  • Built-in anti-slip grooves
  • Prevents overheating
Cons
  • Bulkier than other options

Specially designed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, this keyboard case fits well and offers a convenient typing experience. The keyboard is magnetically attachable, making it easy to attach and remove anytime you want. The case offers three user-friendly viewing angles so you can customize your setup based on your preferences. It also has built-in anti-slip grooves to prevent accidental falls. The inner layer is said to protect your device from overheating and lengthen the lifespan by 30%.

Microsoft Universal Foldable Keyboard

Best foldable keyboard option

Pros
  • Foldable design
  • Easy to carry around
  • Connects with multiple devices
Cons
  • The split keyboard may not be for everyone

One of the biggest advantages to a keyboard case is it's perfect for when you’re moving from place to place and want to set up at a moment’s notice. Microsoft’s universal keyboard (it works just as well on Android and iOS) has a similar benefit with its quick-fold design. That means you can both protect the keys from dust or damage and quickly stow away the keyboard in your bag when not in use.

Logitech K780

Best multi-device keyboard option

Pros
  • High-quality design
  • Rubber cradle for phones or tablets
  • Popular brand
Cons
  • Concave rounded keys aren't for everyone

Logitech makes some of the best keyboards around, so it’s easy to recommend one of its tablet-friendly keyboards for your Tab Ultra. This particular version includes a rubber cradle that’s ideal for positioning your tablet — or, if you already have a Tab Ultra stand, you can prop up your phone there while you work so you can see both at the same time. Logitech’s excellent design also includes a switch button to switch it quickly between devices and a rounded, cupped-key design that mobile users may find easier to handle.

Targus Multi-Platform Keyboard

Best budget keyboard option

Pros
  • Affordable
  • Classic scissor-switch keys
  • LED indicator for battery life
Cons
  • Lower battery life than other picks

If you’d prefer to save while still getting a mobile-friendly keyboard for your Tab S8 Ultra, Targus has you covered with its simple, compact model. It may only cover the basics, but it does a great job with its more traditional scissor-switch keys that may feel very familiar to you. It runs on AA batteries in the base, and while battery life isn’t as great as some rechargeable options, there is a handy LED indicator so you know exactly when it’s time to replace them.

iClever BK05 Keyboard

Best tri-fold keyboard option

Pros
  • Highly compact design
  • Backlighting options
  • Comes with a sturdy accompanying aluminum alloy stand
Cons
  • The accompanying stand is a little too small for the Tab Ultra

Here’s another folding keyboard for you that makes an excellent companion for a tablet like the Ultra. It uses durable aluminum alloy for the base and includes balance stands so you can type at a more comfortable angle. It’s also one of the few folding keyboards with backlighting, including options for adjusting the color and brightness for how you prefer to work. There’s also a sturdy accompanying aluminum alloy stand for you to position a tablet or phone on while you work.

Samsung fans across the world are eagerly waiting to get their hands on the newest iteration of the Galaxy smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy 23, S23+ and S23 Ultra were announced at the Samsung Unpacked Event on February 1, after being heavily rumored for months. The devices are shipping from most retailers on February 17, and you can pre-order them right now. There are several ways to get the device for free. Your options will depend on the phone carrier you have, which model you want and if you currently have a phone worth trading in. Read on for a list of all your options.
How to get the Samsung Galaxy S23 for free
The newest generation of Samsung's flagship phone offers a lot of new and upgraded features. We loved the Galaxy S23 and S23+ in our pre-launch hands-on review. On paper they've only gotten a slight upgrade in specs, but once they're in your hand, they impress. The biggest upgrade comes in the form of the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which gives the phone a snappier response and allows you to use more apps at once without dragging the phone down. Unfortunately there isn't currently a way to get the S23 Ultra for free, so we won't dive into that phone. Suffice it to say the S23 Ultra is also an impressive device.

If you've decided you want the S23 or S23+, or if 'free' is just too good a price to pass up, read on for your best options.
T-Mobile
T-Mobile offers several unique ways to get the S23 and S23+ for free, but you have to be a Magenta MAX member. The offers are unique, including a trade-in option to get $1,000 of credit, enough to cover the cost of the S23 or S23+. You'll also get a free storage upgrade.
