Improved materials and construction - updated 8-22-2020
I had a couple of these before. After a while the corner tabs would crack and break. I liked them otherwise (which is why I bought a replacement after the first one gave out.) Updates to review at end.Jan 2020:Now I have a new tablet, a Tab S6. It is a different form factor than the Tab S3, so another case needed. I was concerned about the problems I had before, so researched like crazy before placing an order to give it a try. I noticed others reporting the problem I had, were older reviews. Newer ones said no problem.The design is slightly changed, spreading stress over larger area, and the plastic is reinforced with another coating of material. My guess is that this one will hold up fine. I will update this review if I am proven wrong in the future.Because of the dimensions of the Tab s6, longer vericaly, there is only one angle for viewing when vertical. When horizontal, there is also only one stop, however the material is not slippery, a little grabby, allowing other angles of view if you are on a stable flat surface. It is a good looking case, sturdy and light weight. The hand strap is helpful if holding in hand to read, The internal half pocket will hold business cards. The magnetic catch works well. The elastic pen loop is hidden behind the magnetic catch strap, but is always there holding the stylus in the place so it can charge. The catch strap gives an extra degree of protection for the stylus so you should not be losing or breaking.It looks like a keeper!8-22-2020I kept it and use it all the time. Unfortunately it is showing the wear now. No plastic cracks, but the actual covering material is coming loose and peeling at corners. It is still usable, but won't be for long.11-22-20:I really wish it would last longer than seven months. I still like the features (nothing else currently has them all). I also wish the position holding ridges were more pronounced, or that the edge of case was a "sticky" silicone material to keep it in place more easily. I have tried a case from a different manufacturer, but it lacked some features, and did not hold up any better than this one did.

Minimal magnet contact points and an s pen sleeve. What's not to love?
I love this. I especially like 2 things. The lack of magnets and the sleeve for the s pen. I dont have to worry about it falling out when I rotate the tablet, and it keeps it charging as long as I've turned it the right way. The lack of magnets is amazing. I think theres only 1 spot that has a tendency to alter my writing. I do like the strap on the inside that makes it mor comfortable to hold. It's also just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures. All around, I love it.

Repeat customers over multiple devices
We've had multiple tablet cases for different devices from Thankscase. We loved them so much, we bought 2 for our new tablets. We had a previous case for close to 8 years and it finally started wearing out. The things we like are the hand strap for reading, the ability to rotate the tablet, and the overall quality of the product. It also has a small pocket inside which is perfect for a cleaning cloth. I would like a metal plate to that when it's open, the closure can be secured to the back of the case.

SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM!! Loved it! But it's DEFECTIVE! Plastic corners started cracking and breaking off within first few weeks.
Unfortunately, I love everything about this case...ALMOST! I like that it has the pocket and the handle. I also like that it does not slide down when I have it tilted up in viewing "mode". It's even a very pretty color of teal. (These are all things I was specifically looking for.) It is very nice looking and I get compliments on it (not a necessity for me.) However, the plastic part that holds the device is brittle and started cracking within a few days of beginning to use it. Then, less than a week ago, one corner started breaking off, as you can see in the picture I have uploaded. What a disappointment! It is still holding my device...for now. But I will have to return it because it is defective. I have contacted the seller and will update after they get back to me with a solution. If I don't hear back soon, I will order a totally different case and return this one. But I use my device a LOT! and don't want it to go without a cover in order to send it back and then have to wait for my refund and then wait longer for the return. My device needs protection in the meantime. So I am hoping they can send a case without me first having to send back this defective one. I can send it back later, if they want it...after all, they're certainly not going to get any money out of this case now, and it would cost them more for me to ship it back...right???!! Anyway, I hope they will respond positively and I will let you know.UPDATE (1/8/16):OK, so here's what I've been through since I first wrote this review. I have had the nicest experience with this company. Hence, I upgraded my review from 2 stars to 5, now that everything seems straightened out (that includes how much I like the product as well, as you will see below). Two times the company had to send me a replacement, and they did so free of charge, and free of "guilt" ;) They did not harass me at all or anything like that. They were perfectly well mannered in their communication.So here's what happened. The original case was cracking and falling apart at the corners (as I mentioned in my review above). The second one they sent me to replace it seemed to have some misplaced magnets or something inside, and the sleep/wake function was causing my device to malfunction and the screen to go blank in the middle of using it, and I was not able to wake it back up, unless I removed it from the case. Plus it kept happening at critical moments of usage. It did not behave this way in the original case they sent, nor has it ever done so out of the case -- at all! So I knew it was the case. So I thought I would give the company another chance. Partly because I really like the case... So anyway, they agreed that it must be a manufacturing defect and since they really believe in their product they sent me a third one. And BINGO! It seems to be working like a charm now. No cracked plastic holder and no malfunctioning device.I hope it does not take you three tries to get to this point because the case, to me, is perfect, now that I've got one that works right. I like that it doesn't continually fall over when I have it propped (like some other device cases I've had) and I like the pocket and the handle (which prevents me from dropping it) and the magnetic flap closure. And, even though I'm not as concerned about having a "pretty" case as some might be, it is rather pretty as well, and a color I love (I got the teal blue one.) I recommend this case for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 tablet.UPDATE (1/17/16): Unfortunately, I can't recommend this case. They worked with me very well, and I even got my money back, but my 3rd case (2nd replacement) also cracked on the corners.

Beautiful case but it interferes with S-pen operation.
Pros:Apart from Samsung's own very expensive book-cover for the Galaxy Tab S6, this economically priced Thankscase is the only case I have found in January 2020 which offers a number of desirable attributes as follows.1. An elasticated hand-band on the left-hand side enables one to read the tablet while sitting or lying at odd angles. You slip your hand through the hand-band to hold the tablet in front of you, while at the same time you can revolve the Thankscase so that while the cover is at an angle the screen will be vertical. This is very helpful for reading in bed.2. The revolving of the hard case which clasps the tablet is an asset. You can either revolve the case 90 degrees, to read the screen in either portrait or horizontal mode, or you can revolve the case just a little to allow you to read it while sitting or lying at odd angles.3. The magnetic flap which keeps the Thankscase closed (and which does not interfere with the S-pen) also ensures that the S-pen cannot be knocked off the back of the tablet while in transit. Most cases for the S6 rely on the S-pen simply clinging to the rear of the tablet by magnetic force alone. With the Thankscase there is both the magnetic flap to keep it in place and a blank elasticated loop which you push the pen through. Losing the S-pen is therefore highly unlikely.4. The finish of Thankscase is elegant and the stitching is superb. The interior surface is of a smooth silky texture which is washable, unlike some other cases where the interior is of a rough fabric which can collect bits of debris or dust. The exterior of the Thankscase, while decorated with fashionable motifs, does have a slightly plasticky appearance, rather than a faux leather feel and look, but a smear of black silk paint (rubbed on, rubbed in, and then quickly rubbed off) could help to age it and make it look antique. However, I didn't get that far with the Thankscase I received because the presence of an unnecessary magnet in the rear of the case makes the Thankscase completely unusable for me, as I must be able to use the S-pen with confidence on every part of the screen.Cons:1. A small round magnet unnecessarily embedded in the cardboard of the rear of the Thankscase interferes with the operation of the S-pen, so that the S-pen will not function at all in the adjacent area of screen. This is a serious problem if you use the amazing S-pen for writing or for drawing, using "Samsung Notes", "Pen-Up", or ANY other writing or drawing app, including even email apps or web apps which may require you to write over that particular part of the screen. See the five photos which reveal this significant flaw in the Thankscase.2. The white plastic circle which holds the plastic case to the cardboard book-cover of the Thankscase does not sit level with the rear surface of the Thankscase. It projects outwards from it a little, so that when you place the Thankscase flat on a desk or a table the case wobbles a bit because of the "round lump" in the centre of the rear of the case. This is a problem if you use the S-pen for fine or detailed writing or drawing.3. The flap which holds the Thankscase closed (by way of several small magnets which thankfully do NOT interfere with the S-pen) gets in your way if you are writing on the screen with the S-pen, whether in horizontal or portrait mode. This is a pity because the flap secures the S-pen in position while you are travelling. However, there is also a small black elasticated ribbon into which you can slip the S-pen for security while travelling, so the annoying flap (which acts as a second security measure) could be very carefully cut off. However, doing so could cause the Thankscase cover to open while travelling.Unfortunately I had to return my Thankscase to Amazon because of its effect upon the use of the S-pen. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 combined with the S-pen is extraordinary for writing and drawing.

Has an elasticated holder for the pen. Very important!
This is the only tablet cover to have an elasticated bit to hold the tablets pen securely so I'm very happy with it.

Brilliant case protects unit
Only case which holds pen correctly and holds the unit securely. Pricey but worth every penny.
