Hi. I'm thinking to buy the cheapest version. 8/128 gb. What is included with it? I know keyboard is not included. But does it have the magnetic kickstand? If not can i buy it somewhere? I don't care about the keyboard, only for the magnetic kickstand. The pen i think is included?
Thanks,

The magnetic kickstand is part of the keyboard, it's not included. I believe some other company, maybe Spigen, also sells cases for the Tab S8 Ultra, which includes a kickstand. I think the regular S8 takes the same cases as the Tab S7, and likewise the S8+ does as the S7+. I forget you're looking at the S8 Ultra, not S8.
The pen is included. No charger is included, only a cable that I have no idea is capable of the fastest charge the S8 Ultra can take.
Good luck with your decision.
As stated above, the magnetic kickstand is part of the keyboard. SPen included and cable usb c to usb c. The cable is long, but no super fast charging 2.0 with the included cable. I bought my tab s8 ultra as a package deal/special...keyboard and samsung 65w charger included for less then what I would have paid just for the tablet alone....look around for specials....keyboard works great
Thanks.. Unfortunately in my country there is much difference in price if you buy the full pack with the keyboard.. I found the 8/128 without the keyboard for 760€. If i want the keyboard, they sale versio 12/256 for 1200€. The difference is to much for me although you take more ram and internal ssd.. (i don't need it, i have 512gb microsd).
I already have windows tablet galaxy book 12 with keyboard, so work will still being done there. So i don't need to much the keyboard in s8 ultra, but i do need a magnetic kickstand, and i haven't find one.. Only cases with kickstand, no magnetic..
If i buy samsung keyboard with the magnetic kickstand it has 240€..

Finally a battery case for the Note 5, even has a cutout for the SPen. But the thing costs $100. I need this but that's a bit steep. 2500Mah. The real question is does it work with wireless charging (likely not) or samsung pay?
http://www.mophie.com/shop/samsung-devices/juice-pack-note-5
I did a little looking around and it looks like NFC payments work with the mohpie for apple pay. I would assume the NFC would work as well for the note 5 . I just wonder if the mst woud work.
No wireless charging, i asked and they said no
Disappointed they didn't add a mSD slot or would be instant buy
It looks like its the only battery case available where you have access to the stylus.
I'd only get a bulky case like this if it had a msd slot like mentioned above. I'd rather use a wall charger or a battery pack.
Does any one know if we can get a spare stylus for the note 9? I don't need the blue tooth, or paired capabilities but the precision would be nice.
Or would any cheap eBay stylus work?

Well obviously you can, a 2 second eBay search would have told you that.
Maybe I was unclear. But I'd still like the cursor accuracy of a hovering s-pen. e.g the tiny cursor or pointer when the s-pen is over the screen.
I didnt think the cheap ebay ones could do. At least not according to the sellers I've asked. Or Can I pair2 genuine S-pen at the same time? But thanks for your response.
I have a Samsung 10.1 2014 tablet and tried it. It seems to work as usual. So you could pick up Note 8 one which would technically fit in into the slot. Or you could get the tablet one. You can find either on Amazon or eBay

That's awesome, so a second s-pen can work at the same time? Thank you for your time& your help.
A second spen will work, u just need to disable the detect spen in (enable power saving) in spen settings. Only the spen that is in the slot can use bluetooth.

Or better still you can check Samsungs website. Offers come up often. Just picked up a spare S-pen for under £15
The S-Pen from my Tab S4 and the S-Pen from my Notebook Pro 9 all work with my Note 9. I'd just buy another pen from Samsung's official store. Don't take a chance on third party. That way is full of heartache.
Picked up a brown Spen and brown LED case to match. Spen was £14.80 or something silly!
LED case was £29 in the same sale [emoji41]

I'm curious, for what do you need a spare stylus? Are you concerned about losing the original? Or are you wanting to use two stylii at the same time?
idk if I'm the only person whose had this problem. The Note8's Spen is thinner than previous model SPens, and I broke 3 (2 Samsung brand, one AWinner brand) between my fingers during normal use within the first 4 or 5 months of buying my Note 8.
I gave up after the 3rd one, but miss the pen sometimes.
Does anyone know of a sturdier 3rd party offering?
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
thx
I don't see how you can break your S-Pen as I find the S-Pen on the Note 8 to be quite sturdy.
I think that Spens are sufficiently strong and durable, only tip may ware out (after very intensive use) but those can be replaced...
Replacement S-pens will be cheapest option and the only option to fit in the phone.
There are third party - wacom compatible - pens available, e.g. from Bamboo, that will work with your Note 8 and may be stronger.

Third party substitue
Staedtler Noris Digital
Get this if u r looking for a sturdier option... Of course you won't be able to keep it inside the phone.... But should be the best option available.....

I tend to disagree. I also own a Steadler Norris Digital. I find it quite fragile, mainly due to it's length. While it may not break during active use, I think it is vulnerable during transport/storage. Also the Steadler Norris lacks a button , which prevents use of functionalities in some apps (like activation of air command). It is a very nice replacement stylus though for specific purposes, I agree to that, but for me only for drawing on my larger Samsung Notebook 9 Pro.
Basically all S-pens are compatible between the Note series, and Samsung also has offered alternatives:
The full size pen for the Note 10.1 may be an option:

Samsung also has a stylus that holds a Note 1 S-pen, which I also own, and is quite sturdy as well:
https://www.google.nl/url?sa=i&sour...ZXj_qC79Xn&ust=1540924536466923&ictx=3&uact=3
Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...
Stylus holder seems good
That stylus holder thing looks good... Never heard about it... Let us know the reviews if you get hold of one.

I have that one since long time. I bought it when I owned a Note 2. Works flawlessly with all samsung Notes I have/had (Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, Note 10.1, Note 8, Notebook 9 Pro).
Holds much better than small S-pen from phone. Button is also easier to use. The stylus holder can only accommodate the Note 1 S-Pen - it was included with holder.
Althouth sensitivity of the S-pen has supposedly improved over the note series, when using the holder with enclosed Note 1 S-pen with Note 8 I do not notice the limited pressure sensitivity of that old S-Pen compared to the Note 8's own S-pen.
You may find the holder on ebay or other site...

I don't have pics but they all just broke in half. not much to see
S Pen from Note10+ fits and works, and more S Pen is newer version made from one plastic part instead of two pars on original Note 8, and much harder to break The downside - it's shorter, so to press push button you need to use little finger nail
I love my Note 9, and I see no reason to upgrade to the Note 10 other than the s-pen has a bunch of new features.
Does anyone think it would be possible to pair a Note 10's pen with a Note 9, since it's basically bluetooth (isn't it?), and, with some hacking to copy over the drivers, libraries and some apps, basically get most of the note10's pen features running on the 9?
I'm pretty sure that it would require rooting the phone, but it might be a price and risk some would consider.

Does the N10 stylus fit into the N9?
Has anyone tried the Note10 stylus with the Note9 to verify that the wacom sensor array in the screen is compatible?
Then you could try pairing the stylus to see if the button is sensed the same way. If that all works, then surely it'd be possible to replace the N9's libraries which handle the stylus with the N10's, copy over the N10 apps and voila, your N9 becomes nearly as good as an N10.

Doesn't fit. Probably both.
I purchased an original replacement S Pen and it works seamlessly with my Note 9 out of the box, because it arrived charged. However, I don't think it's charging in the Note 9. I wonder if the new Note10+ S Pen will charge on a wireless charging tray?
Only way is to test and find out. It uses wireless charging in the phoned to power the S-pen so theoretically it should work... Just a pain having a loose S-pen floating around is all...
My money says it will not work with a traditional charging pad. I haven't researched the matter, but Samsung probably uses a proprietary standard other than Qi in charging the S Pen.
I have checked note 10+ stylus on my N9 and... working, button too.
I havent checked air-gestures, but if i will be remember, that i will check that too.
Because N10 stylus has another shapes, You would replace electronic part from new to old.
I have thought about it too
Can anyone recommend S8+ cases that allow for S-Pen charging?
I'm upgrading from a Tab S4 to an 8+. Most cases I see don't appear to allow the s-pen's to charge.
If you don't charge on the back, are there other ways to charge the s-pen?
Thanks,
Joe

I just use the official one for the Tab S7+, S7 FE, S8+, etc. It has a little hill towards the top of it that holds the S-Pen in place where it charges. It's a little up there in terms of price, but it's exactly what you're describing.
There is this keyboard one that has flap for back part, that let's you open it to put or remove s-pen from charging spot. Right now there is no other location to charge s-pen, only the back side.

I would say that almost every third-party case allow to charge s-pen due to it has a hole where you can put s-pen for charging it using the table. Don't remember a case which didn't have such hole (I had s4, s6, s7+ before and s8u now).
Thanks all. I've ordered one of the cheaper covers on Amazon to start with. Are the expensive Samsung covers really worth the cost? I have a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard I used with my Tab S4 -- is the keyboard cover really worth so much money?

I would generally say no, not worth that much money. The biggest reason I have one is they were "free" with pre-order. They could be worse, but they could be better. I'm pretty picky about keyboards, and even pickier about "mice" as I've preferred Logitech trackballs for about 26-27 years.
But the convenience of the built-in keyboard and trackball are nice in a pinch.
I see. Thanks again for your thoughts.

I would say no. I had a lot of different third party cases and in some reasons they are better than the original one. Personally I would recommend Mokocase's case for tab series - good quality and not so expensive.
Note: Mokocase doesn't appear to make a Tab S8 (any model) case yet. It looks like at least some of its Tab S7 cases will fit some of the S8 models, although definitely not the Ultra.

Keep in mind that anything from aliexpress can be clones and copies. So if official site of Mokocase is not listing any cases for galaxy tab s8 ultra then this one you linked is not original.

What @Jake.S said. I always start straight at the source (Moko's website) and at the time nothing was listed for the Tab S8, but Amazon does list some of their Tab S7 cases as also fitting some of the Tab S8 models.

Guys, this is the official MoKocases store on Aliexpress. You may chech the link at the official web-site of Moko here. Moreover, I don't think this is a brand which is really worth to be copied or cloned...
