Fantastic value
Can't say enough good about this case. I have purchased many tablet cases for my IPAD and my wife's IPAD and none of them come close to the quality for the price of this case. The case fits like a glove and gives the Galaxy tab 10.5 a very high end look and feel. The weight is also good, slightly heavier than an IPAD 2 with the keyboard installed and 3 ounces lighter without the keyboard installed.After reading most of the reviews I can find none of the problems people are reporting. To me those reviews are from people that have never had this type case.Insertion of the tablet into the case is easier than most cases and it is held secure by the velcro tab at the bottom. This keeps the tablet from sliding around, most cases of this type do not have this simple velcro feature. All the corners are protected from drop damage.The closure strap is an added plus and very easy to use and holds the cover closed securely, another plus is when the strap is holding the cover closed it also protects the camera lens. This strap is much better than a magnet strap, it holds very securely in case you drop the tablet. I had a case with a magnet strap on my IPAD and when I dropped it the case came open and caused damage to my tablet.The keyboard is held in place with magnets and is easily removed. The keyboard is of average size for tablet keyboards and works very smooth and feels Quality. Pairing is simple as it comes and works FLAWLESSLY. I type 80+ wpm and it keeps up with me no problem. If anyone is looking for a laptop size keyboard you need to buy a laptop. No attachable keywords are going to have keys any larger than these, trust me I have had other tablet keyboards and this one is at the top even of keyboards costing much more. The keys don't touch the screen when cover is closed because the case holding the front of the screen gives it clearance not much but keeps the keys from rubbing the screen. Also one reviewer said you can't use WIFI while using the keyboard, all I can say is they have problems not related to this keyboard. I have single band router and everything works fine no connection issues.The stand only has one fixed angle but works solid and is not flimsy at all. My one small quibble would be the stylus location I will only attach it when going on a trip for convenience. I hold my tablet from the sides most of the time and it is in the way. If you only use the stand then the stylus location would be fine.I highly recommend this case you won't find anything coming close at the box stores. I have seen nothing on the shelfs that compare in quality and most importantly price.UPDATE:I have had this case now for a few months. It is holding up great, it still looks like the day I got it and it still doing everything it was designed to do. I am using the keyboard now and it works flawlessly. I have upgraded my router and the keyboard still has no connection issues. I am using the 2.5 side of the router but it does have dual band. I have started leaving the stylus in place and it is not in the way, as I first thought it would be. I don't use the stylus much but it is a great added feature and goes everywhere now.The only one very small quibble would be with the size of the backspace key or maybe better said the location of the key. It is not located in the upper right hand corner. It is right below the lock key which is where the backspace key is on most keyboards, this lock key turns off the screen of your tablet. After some usage I have gotten more use to it being in the wrong place but I still sometimes turn off my screen when making corrections. It's not a big deal and when it happens all you have to do is press the home key on the tablet and it turns the screen back on.Again, great case, and worth more than the selling price when compared to competing cases. You can't get a junk universal case for the price you pay for this quality item, It's a NO BRAINER!!!!

Best bang for your buck.
I love this keyboard but at the same time, I hate bluetooth. First, the keyboard.Love this thing. Amazing build quality for the price. Very light and the leather feels so premium in your hands. Unlike the other cases I've seen on amazon, including the sylus-less version of this case which is apparently more expensive for some reason, not many of them close with the actual keyboard itself. I thought it was supposed to be normal but apparently a lot of cases exclude the extra girth of a keyboard and make it so you can only close the case with the tablet secured if you remove the keyboard. But, this one's different. The keyboard is both removable and can stay within the case while closed, which is a huge plus. Unlike the official samsung keyboard, which I'm sure feels amazing in the hands but is over 150$, this one protects the tablet from all side while barely adding any extra heft, and at just a fraction of the price. The keys feel great and provide that perfect tactile feedback I was looking for in a keyboard. Just wish it connected to the tablet through any other means except bluetooth. And here's why...I don't know much about bluetooth seeing as though this is literally the only bluetooth product I own. But apparently, depending on your in home router, bluetooth and wifi run on the same frequency, which is 2.4ghz. This causes the wifi signal and bluetooth signal to clash, so pretty much if I'm using the keyboard, I can't use wifi on my tablet, at least not at home. This is especially frustrating because if I want to make a review about something or type in length, I literally have to type it all out on a separate app, usually jotterpad x, copy and paste it into the webpage or whatever it was that I wanted to type to, after I turn off my bluetooth. No one else in my household uses bluetooth products so no one's experienced any kind of problems except for me. And it doesn't cancel out the wifi but slows it down to a crawl. I normally reach around 26-29 mbs per second on speedtest.net. I turn the bluetooth on, and the speed drops to nearly .23mbs before losing signal entirely. And if you were to try and troubleshoot this sort of problem, which does exist for a lot of people out there, the only means of working around it is to get a dual band router, which costs around 100 bucks or more, but allows you to transfer your wifi signal onto a 5ghz frequency. You can't do it without the hardware necessary. So I have to call and ask my isp to see if they can somehow transfer me a new router or one that's at least dual band or see if I have to find one myself. Cause even if I just use this keyboard on it's own, what if I want bluetooth speakers or headphones or whatever? I won't be able to utilize any of it less I have a dual band router. So that's why I hate bluetooth, even if they apparently fixed the issue on newer bluetooth products and such.

Nice Case with some faults
First, I want to say that this is a great idea - having the stand that locks so the tablet won't flop over backwards when using on your lap. The problem is that the stand is really too narrow to use on your lap. I fixed this by gluing a wider piece on the stand, so now it works great, but the looks of the case certainly wasn't improved. Unless you want to do this type of fix yourself, I wouldn't recommend this case if you intend to use it on your lap. Also I think the faux leather could have been put on a bit tighter. Mine has a few ripples in it.The keyboard, itself, works great. The only time you need to do another bluetooth search is if you have turned your tablet completely off, which I never do unless needed. The keyboard is held on by magnets so it installs and removes quickly.
