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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for $200? It’s possible with this offer
A look at the front and back of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9.

If you've had your sights set on upgrading to the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 for a while, don't miss this chance to buy the tablet at up to $600 off through Samsung's promotional trade-in credit program. The version of the device with 8GB of RAM and 128GB for storage is usually sold for $800, but in exchange for an eligible device, you'll only have to pay as low as $200 for it. The offer isn't going to last forever though, so if you want to take advantage of one of the most interesting Samsung Galaxy deals right now, you should hurry with the transaction!

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is the smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra, which in turn is already succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 is still a fine purchase right now, with snappy performance provided by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor with 8GB of RAM. The tablet is also equipped with an 11.0-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen with 2560 x 1600 resolution, a memory card slot for up to 1TB of additional storage, the S Pen stylus, and an IP68 rating for water resistance.

Last chance to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra with this deal
The screen on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Samsung's latest generation of flagship smartphones are almost here, but you've still got time to take advantage of Samsung Galaxy deals for pre-orders of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. The unlocked 512GB model is available for $1,300 instead of $1,420, for a free storage upgrade from 256GB that's being sold at the same price, and you'll get additional Samsung Credit of $80. You also have the chance of instant trade-in credit of up to $900, so there's a chance of technically just having to pay $320 for this fantastic mobile device. You need to hurry though, as pre-orders are closing in less than two days!

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has already broken records with massive pre-orders, and the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is the model that's drawing the most interest. It's powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite for Galaxy with 12GB of RAM for extremely smooth performance, and its 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen has QHD+ resolution and an up to 120Hz refresh rate. Also, take a look at this camera setup: a 200MP primary camera with optical image stabilization, a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom, a 10mp telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and 100x space zoom.

It's set to be an exciting year for smartphones with the arrival of Samsung's new Galaxy S25 lineup. With all three models featuring a bespoke version of Qualcomm's most powerful silicon to date and a wealth of new Galaxy AI features, and the usual gorgeous AMOLED displays, they're more compelling than ever.

The Galaxy S25 might be the runt of the litter, but it's still a pocket-sized powerhouse — and it doesn't come cheap. At $800, you'll definitely want to shield it from the bumps and scrapes of life. That starts with a robust case, but don't forget the screen. After all, its the most fragile part of any phone, and the Gorilla Glass Victus 2 only goes so far. Adding some extra protection is a good idea, particularly if your phone spends time in a purse or backpack alongside keys and other abrasive items.
