Yep I upgraded from the Tab S2 SM T810 model. Bought the Tab S3 from BB yesterday
Did you get the keyboard cover?
If so, is the keyboard removable?
Can it be folded back like the S2 keyboard?

I really like the pen! I played around with it at Best Buy. I guarantee within 3-4 weeks there will be some nice cases on Amazon that will hold the pen nicely.
I bought the book cover case. I didn't want to spend $129 for the keyboard case.Did you get the keyboard cover?

The old 820 processor is probably my biggest Con right now as it already seems choppy at times in Chrome when pinch zooming random pages. That's a bad sign for how long this will last me. Also the magnets for the case aren't nearly as sturdy as the physical mounting points. They're stronger than you might expect for magnets, but not strong enough to keep it from accidentally unmounting. Last Con for me is lack of HDMI out support.
I really like the Tab S3, but I just don't know about spending so much for it. I feel like I'll have buyer's remorse if I buy it, especially since I just bought a new laptop. I can think of some use cases where it would be great to have around. I Also like that it has quick charge and USB C? I guess I'll do some more thinking.
Yeah, I guess that's a good point. I have the original Tab S and it's terrible for IG because it's so long so it's a pain to use in portrait mode.My Tab S2 runs the house. As soon as I get home, I use the S2 for everything. I have the LTE Verizon version, so I can make/receive calls with my cell phone number, all my apps and messages sync perfectly with my phone. My data use the same account, which is great when I travel and I dont have to rely on random wifi or hotspot my phone.
Doing everything I would normally do on my cell phone with the S2 and that big beautiful screen makes it so much better. Especially viewing Instagram, YouTube, or photos.
The thinness and lightness is what really makes all that possible. If it was too heavy and not easy to hold, I wouldn't use it much.
Another nifty benefit is setting up different users, so multiple people in the house can use it with their own settings and accounts. I set up a guest account so when people come over they can use it while not seeing all my messages, webpages, and such.
Pool, what case did you end up getting?
Also wondering is a S2 case would work? I tried my Samsung book cover case, removed the little nubs and it's fits but just feels a bit small as the magnetic flap that folds over doesn't fully close.
Also don't care for the cases that fold up and form a triangle stand, just could never get it in the right position as a stand.
