Tab S6 preorder dates?

[Fast-T]

Saw the S6 for preorder in Samsungs UK store, but not in the US? Anyone know when it will be coming? Cannot await.

I put my name on Best Buys site last week.
But no date was listed.

It's on Samsung's site, it was in the announcement, it's in the launch video, in pretty much every article on the announcement... Not sure how that was missed but yeah, 8/23.

Wonder is there will be any freebies for preordering. Can't wait to put my hands on it.

Keyboard cover is 50% off. I hope they'll do some good trade in offers. I like my tab s5e, but I really miss the s pen.

Yup, no freebies as of yet (other than the Spotify and YouTube ones, and those apply only to new subscribers) other than the 50% off the keyboard cover (which the only thing they haven't announced is if the discount applies to any retail purchase or if it's a Samsung.com exclusive).

I will be buying and trying out the keyboard for the first time ever. Thanks to that 50% off discount!

Hopefully Amazon will have some good cases for sale soon.

Just curious, if you are about to drop 90 dollars (plus taxes, even with the 50% discount) on a keyboard case... why would you want to buy an additional one?

I may not want to carry around the keyboard all the time. Unless the keyboard part can be removed from the case...?

It can, but that leaves the screen exposed. It's pretty much a semi-clone of the Surface cover (which is not a bad thing). The keyboard side is so thin, though, you're really not much better off in terms of added weight/thickness with other cases.

If you're not gonna use the keyboard all the time or don't want to carry it, I'd suggest you keep your money and use that on a cheaper portable keyboard with a trackpad (plenty in Amazon, foldable ones too, between 30 or 40 dollars) and either the Samsung slim case or a cheap one from Amazon and the likes.

Oh, ok. Thanks for that info!

I really suggest pre-ordering through Best Buy... TLDR: 82 dollars off the case (not 80 like others), 50 dollar e-certificate, and either 5% back with their credit card or 10% if this is your first purchase. With 10% back, you end up with a total of 132 dollars in certificates with the 256GB model and the keyboard case.
