Just got my Tab s9 Plus. Setting it up now. I bought the cheap keyboard for it. It won't be here until the 24th. Had to buy a cheap case on Amazon to keep me covered until it comes.

It is definitely a big tablet. At least for me it is big because I've been used to using smaller tablets. I'm glad I went with the Plus and not the Ultra.

I just picked up my Tab S9 Ultra I preordered and the keyboard Bookcover for it at Best Buy. None of the slim keyboard bookcovers came in, but I can't complain because they gave me $75 off my preferred bookcover keyboard for the inconvenience. I'm really excited to get any kind of discount on the cover/keyboard I wanted in the first place, so bravo to Best Buy!

I'm too excited to play with it, so I'm going to charge it first. I hope to use Samsung Smart Switch from my S22 Ultra phone to set it up.

One thing I didn't realize is the keyboard doesn't separate from the bookcover, so with keyboard removed (it's heavy), there is no front cover.

That screen needs a 24/7 cover on it in my hands. I may purchase a cheap generic cover to use when not using the keyboard.

Now I understand why they developed the other bookcover.

I went with this one because it's worked so well on my S8+. I like that it covers the SPen.

Well I've got to give my Samsung keyboard bookcover a good long try before resorting to something different unless it is just a plain jane cover (no keyboard) to use when I want to use it in tablet mode.

Hey - is there any way to adjust the Amazon app so it looks good on the tablet?

How is it currently looking? Look at Settings- Labs - force landscape mode if you prefer

Definitely keep your keyboard. It was more of a suggestion to your comment of needing to cover the screen when you're NOT using your keyboard.

Oh, I see, that would be perfect as a backup. I prefer black so I will keep my eyed open. Of course I need one for the ultra, not the plus.

Yeah, images are pixelated in the full landscape mode. You can put it in split mode with another app in the side to have the images not pixelated. Or probably use the browser?

Yes, I'll try the browser

Oh, btw, how do you put another app with it on split screen? I haven't tried split screen yet. It might help with Twitter also. Everything in Twitter is too big. The browser version isn't much better.

I think you just select the app from task bar or wherever it is, hold it and drag it up and decide what type of split you want, horizontal or vertical, and then let go

I just checked my s9 ultra with Amazon website and pictures are fine. I was in landscape mode.

The resolution of the main pic right under search bar that extends all the way across the screen in landscape has a lower resolution than our screen. It isn't pixilated, but it is unpleasant to look at.

It could be gone now. Looks fine in browser so it is the app not the screen.

It doesn't even look good on my phone in landscape view.

I pre-ordered and traded my Tab S7 for a Tab S9. Samsung gave me a good deal. On top of that, my Tab S7 keyboard cover works! It's a significant upgrade for me.

Just almost finished setting up my new S9+ 5G, from Verizon. I forgot how many webb sites and passwords I have. Still have my S8+ but I needed 5G for a new job. So I joined this group.
