12.4 in Samsung Galaxy Tab 12.4 Keyboard Case - Magnetic Floating

In this review the keyboard case is judged as a practical way to turn a compatible 12.4 in Samsung Galaxy Tab into a laptop-like device. Its single biggest selling point is the magnetic floating cantilever hinge that lifts and angles the screen up to 135 degrees for stable viewing, making it useful for video calls and long typing sessions. The reviewer found the typing feel solid, the touchpad responsive, and the dual S Pen slots convenient, but stresses that buyers must verify their tablet model first since this case fits only specific 12.4 in Tab Plus and FE Plus models.

Key Features

• Exact model fit: Designed exclusively for the 12.4 in Galaxy Tab S10+, S9+, S9 FE+, S8+, S7+ and S7 FE so the tablet sits securely when the case is closed and in use.
• Magnetic floating hinge: The cantilever lift supports adjustable angles from 0 to 135 degrees so the screen stays steady for typing, streaming or video calls.
• Full keyboard with scissor keys: Seventy eight scissor-switch keys on a metal baseplate deliver a tactile typing feel and rated durability for prolonged daily use.
• Precision touchpad and shortcut: The integrated touchpad supports multi-gesture control and a Fn+ESC shortcut to quickly switch to a computer-style mode.
• Dual S Pen storage: Two magnetic S Pen slots keep a spare and a charging pen secure, with the inner slot recommended for travel and the outer slot for charging.
• Backlit options: Seven backlight colors with three brightness levels help typing in low light and extend usable battery life.

Who It's For

This keyboard case is aimed at owners of the compatible 12.4 in Samsung Galaxy Tab models who want a lightweight portable productivity setup without buying a laptop. It suits students, remote workers, and frequent travelers who value a real keyboard, a firm magnetic hinge, and built-in S Pen storage.

It is not for owners of standard S9, S9FE, S8, S7 or any 14.6 in models - those tablets will not fit. Buyers who need an ultra-thin folio for simple protection only, or those who want an integrated keyboard with a different layout, should look elsewhere.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong magnetic closure and cantilever hinge keep the tablet stable at multiple viewing angles.
• The scissor keys on a metal baseplate offer a satisfying, durable typing experience for long sessions.
• Built-in precision touchpad and Fn+ESC shortcut make it easy to use the Tab more like a laptop without extra accessories.
• Dual magnetic S Pen slots reduce the chance of losing a pen and provide an outer charging position.

Cons

• Heavier than a bare folio case, which some customers note makes the attached setup feel weighty for long handheld use.
• Compatibility is strict - it will not fit similarly named Tab models or larger sizes, so model verification is mandatory.

Our Verdict

The keyboard case is a strong value for owners of the supported 12.4 in Galaxy Tabs who want a sturdier typing and touchpad experience than a generic folio offers. Its magnetic floating hinge, durable scissor keys, and S Pen storage combine into a compact workhorse that replaces a basic laptop for many tasks, though the added weight and strict model fit should be checked before buying.
