Anyone have a case they really like? I'm searching Amazon and am not sure which way to go. My only requirement is it have a stand option. Anyone have a favorite?

I own the Samsung Keyboard cover and also a clear case from LK on Amazon. I typically use the LK at home when I don't need a keyboard, and the keyboard cover when traveling. The LK wouldn't meet your needs though, as it doesn't have a kickstand. I have a separate metal stand from Anker that's pretty nice and more sturdy than any kickstand.

If you don't care about standing it up in portrait mode, I highly recommend this one.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 9.7 Case, BELK Premium Leather Multiple Viewing Stand Cover with Hand Strap , Auto Wake/Sleep Smart Folio Flip Card Holder for Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 SM-T820 T825, Brown https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XFXDJT...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5860592

It's incredibly sturdy. You can tap on the screen and it won't topple over.

I prefer portrait mode for a lot of my usage, so I'm looking for a case that handles both portrait and landscape.

I had the Samsung keyboard cover. You can only use it in one position. You cannot fold it back for times when you do not need the keyboard, for that reason I returned it.

The one I use now has a removable keyboard and has 3 or 4 positions.

I'm also using the Samsung Keyboard Cover. Like the others I got it at BB when it was half off. The stand only works for landscape mode so not certain if it will fit your needs. I had an IVSO cover for my previous tablet and based on that experience would recommend giving it a try as long as you can return it with no hassle.

Hey guys, I'm also looking for a case that actually holds the S Pen. Without it being attached to the device somehow I have no idea how I'm not going to lose it immediately. I'm hoping to find a case that has a space to hold it.

http://a.co/4JCQsng is the one I got. Has a snap in holder for the S-Pen and holds the tablet well. Magnetic close flap that double protects the Spen. Keyboard is held in place with a magnet and the case can be used without the keyboard. They also sell one cheaper without the keyboard.

The hard protection for the S-Pen was the winner for me. Most cases use a cheesy elastic holder that will wear out in a few months. This one is solid.

It is not clear to me what you meant by a stand option, but this genuine leather case I bought from Amazon works very well and has a nice pen holder on the side so I don't lose the S Pen. I am very happy with this case:

So, I got to travel with my tablet this week, using the Moko case I linked above. I discovered (with about 25 minutes left in a 2 hour flight) that on planes with a pocket near the top of the seat you can "hook" the cover in the pocket and hang the tablet in landscape mode for easier viewing. This was my last of 4 flights for the trip (2 Sunday, 2 to return on Saturday) but it was the only plane of the 4 that had this pocket.

I have the:
Solo Premiere Leather Universal Tablet Case, 8.5" up to 11", Espresso.
bought at staples about 4 or 5 years ago and still in great shape. used for Asus tablet, then tab s2, and now tab s3. It is zippered and gives good protection.
