> 24 hourI was hesitant to buy a case for my Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8 tablet without being able to see and handle it first. But when Best Buy, Staples, and two different Verizon stores had nothing suitable, I decided to consider Amazon. The many 5-star reviews for this product gave me the push I needed to buy it. I am so glad I did. The construction is impeccable. Nice-quality leather, excellent stitching, and a unique way of securing the tablet in the case. You dont have to try to pull stretchy corner-huggers over the corners of your tablet. Rather, the tablet slides in to what Id call a frame (also made of leather), from the hinge-side of the case, and it is held securely in place by a Velcro strap that absolutely will not accidentally come lose. The ports, buttons, the viewfinder and the speaker show through the edges or back of the frame, and everything works nicely. Im amazed at the questions asked by some people, like Will this case for a Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8-inch tablet also fit my 10-inch iPad? Folks, the case is designed specifically for the product it says its designed for. Even if you could fit your ZimBat-X 8 tablet in the case, I wouldnt count on the ports, buttons, and viewfinders (and flash) showing through the edges or back of the frame. In a nutshell: If your tablet is not a Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8 model, this is not the case for you. If youre not sure what you have, try powering your tablet completely off, then turning on the power and watching the screen during the boot process. That works for Samsung devices, I believe, and probably for most Android devices. On mine, the model name showed up while it was powering up. To know the size of your tablet, measure the screen diagonally, from the upper-left corner to the lower-right corner (or from upper-right to lower-left). Measure from edge-to-edge of the screen, not the outer corners of the tablet. If you measure properly, you shouldnt have to round off more than a 1/8 inch to know your tablets size. (Be careful when measuring not to scratch your screen.) The case I received is black leather on the outside and tan leather inside. The frame is black leather. The case does not lend itself to portrait viewing. You are limited to landscape viewing as shown in Amazons photo. But I find thats perfectly fine for my needs, whether watching a video or reading a book or PDF, or viewing a website. This is the first case Ive bought for this tablet since I got the tablet nearly a year ago. Until now, Ive been afraid the tablet would slip out of my hands, due to its slick friction-free metal shell. But this case makes holding it--whether I hold it in portrait view or occasionally in landscape view--feel very safe and secure. I think theres a magnetic clasp to hold the case closed. My one wish is that the magnet might be a little stronger. But for me, that is absolutely NOT a deal-breaker. I love this case. And even more important, I love my tablet more than before, because of the case.

> 24 hourJust got this today. I am surprised at the quality of the case. It is really nice. Tablet fit perfectly and was easy to install. It is now held in place very securely. Easy access to all the tablet buttons and camera and speaker not obstructed. I like the way it folds open and acts as a stand for the tablet. I dont use a stylus but it comes with one and a loop to hold it. I may look for a way to take the loop off but may just leave it. I am also impressed with their answers to complaints or product issues. Looks like their on top of any issues and willing to go the extra mile if a problem comes up. I really like this case. Would have given 4 stars across the board but Im sure I could find a better case made of Corinthian leather with a gold stylus pen. BUT NOT FOR THIS PRICE! Great Case.

> 24 hourYou get what you pay for...not with this case, no pun intended. :-) I bought this case to take on a cruise so I could do some light reading...it worked like a charm. All the slots matched correctly. That being said, I didnt actually use the camera since the camera on my Galaxy S7 is much better but all cutouts in the case aligned correctly with the slots on the tablet. The one bonus I didnt really expect to use is the stylus that comes with the case. I have two concerns... - the elastic strap that holds the stylus. I fear the strap is going to become too loose to hold the pen/stylus and I will lose this little bonus. - the joints or hinges of the case seem to becoming a bit flimsy after only a weeks worth of use...well see if it starts to tear or come apart with more use. Speaking of the pen part of the stylus, dont expect Monte Blanc quality. I havent used the pen yet and I doubt I will but Ive used the stylus many times and it does what its supposed to do. Bottom line, I would definitely recommend this case for handheld reading. I havent really propped the case up to watch a movie yet but it does prop up a bit so you can read the tablet without holding... allowing the tablet to be tilted in a way to avoid sunlight.

> 24 hourThe case seems durable, but I havent had it long enough to judge. It is well made and the tablet fits nicely. The ability for it to function as a stand is a nice touch. There is a small elastic band sewn into the edge of one of the back cover for a pen that is included with the tablet. Its in an odd and awkward spot being outside the case and prone to catching on things and such. The addition of the pen is nice but in a bad place. I will probably end up cutting the band off and discarding the pen. It really serves no purpose other than having a tip that you can use on the tablet. If it were designed to place it inside the cover, it would be better. As it is it appears to be an after thought and gives them the ability to say look - its a cover, but thats not all. Besides the bad placement of the pen, it is a good cover and would recommend it to others.

> 24 hourLet me begin by saying, dont waste your time as I did, looking at all the other cases. I spent over 2 hours researching cases. And I kept coming back to this ProCase cover. (Im in my 4th week of ownership, and very happy with my new case). I read the reviews before ordering the ProCase Samsung Galaxy Tab E 8.0 case. And before I settled on ProCase as my choice, I pondered over all of what Amazon had to offer. And I selected several other brands and did a comparison, one against the other, with price being the last decision factor. Because I was willing to pay the price for quality and for an item that spoke to me, meaning that I was willing to pay 3 times more for a case than the price quoted for this ProCase. And with all due honesty, my search and all that I read from the reviews of other simliar products; I kept coming back to what ProCase had to offer. So I placed my order and the case arrived. And when I took it out of its mailing package and felt the quality of the leather, I was very impressed and pleased with my new case. As stated in over 99% of the reviews I read, this case is a perfect fit. It provides a very snug and secure fit, with no worries about the Tablet sliding out. The case in my opinion is not heavy, but very sturdy, the magnetic closure works like a charm. One more plus with this case; if you dropped it on a non-carpeted floor, I dont believe your Tablet will incur any damages, because its a well made product.

> 24 hourThis case does everything I need it to do, and think its a great overall product. Although I feel like it might get a little more flimsy than I like when put at the least supportive angle, if you are using it simply as its made and just sitting your tablet up to watch videos or browse, the case is great! If you are trying to type something in, it might flop a little. The only thing I didnt like was that it is a bit bulkier than I expected. However, overall, I think the case is a great product.
