Just traded in my s7 Fe for an s9+ - trade in value was more than I paid for the 7fe last year+education discount+some rewards points+upgraded storage (although with SD card capability, that's not really that big a bonus).

I considered the Ultra, but when I went to look at it, the size was just too much (especially since it's long and skinny - squarer proportion and it might have worked)

I mostly use it to run music software - hoping the newer model will be a little more responsive, and keep up with software updates. Looking forward to it and my existing Samsung keyboard case fits!

I finally pulled the trigger and got the Tab S9 Ultra. I couldn't pass up the $800 discount that Samsung was offering for it. So far I'm really loving it. I can already tell a big difference with the new processor.
Yeah, I went from the Tab S7+ to a Tan S9 Ultra. I was worried about the size, but I love it.
I did hate having to spend all that money for the book cover keyboard, but it is a great and useful accessory.

I think I got the cover for the Tab S7+ for $99, and that was ok. Paying full price for this one hurt a little and will likely prevent me from upgrading for a while. Unless they offer the Cas with a great discount when the Tab S10 Ultra is released.

I like my tab s9ultra enough that I added a Tab s9 fe. I needed a smaller tablet for my lap. The ultra is for my desk. I kind of wish I sprung for the Tab s9 instead of the fe. I miss some of the features like haptic feedback. I am happy with the fe screen, though. I can't tell the diff.

The prices on the keyboard covers for the 9 series are insane, although I do prefer the design of the new fully detachable model (reminds me of the one on my now defunct Surface Go, which I really liked). I'm trying a couple of other things before I spend another $150.

I'm still trying to figure out a way to reconfigure the book kboard for my 7fe to work the way I'd like with a different case for the 9+.

I've actually found a folio case which could tick all of my boxes, and it looks like the tablet is held in with PU strips rather than a bumper. If the photo is accurate - and it fits snug enough without the bottom strips - I'm thinking I could trim those (which would be the spine when closed so it wouldn't be a falling risk) and still attach the keyboard. We will see - I've ordered it to try.

In the meantime, shipping date for my s9+ is mid March - anybody know why they're delayed? Original ship date was supposed to be end Feb.
