Pre ordered my Tab S9 12+256 from edu store, around RM3.2k
Was thinking about trading in the old tab s7
But that company is only willing to quote a value of RM240
Guess I'll keep that tablet as a table clock

Ordered mine on 4/8, received it on 10
Yet to inbox it, waiting for a friend to install the screen protector for me
Kinda regret I didn't go for the 5g version, but paying that much more for something I can do with my phone simply doesn't make sense
Anyway, still debating on what case to go for
Either 3rd party book cover or the rugged case from Samsung
Since the paper cover thingy doesn't protect the back of the tablet and I can't stand having scratches and dents on any of my devices...

Oh you get 5G. What you going to do with 5G?

If let say I took wifi version and use hotspot from samsung s23u, not sure if the hotspot will drain my battery fast?
Thanks for sharing. eSIM is good to have. Love to know that.
That also I am worry if didnt take 5G. If I get data from my phone hotspot, i wondering it will drain my mobile phone seriously . What make you take 5g?

What reason you pick s9 instead of s9+?
*
S23U user here, so battery drain is not a problem
The only reason for me to grab a tablet with 5G is the constant connection,
I dont even need to use the campus wifi which stability is a joke bangwall.gif
At the same time not draining my phone's data
Didnt get 5G in the end is because of my budget, I can live without 5G
I grab S9 because I'm happy with the compact size, just using it for PDF, note taking and netflix
No problem using tab S7 kosong for the same task

from review the rugged case is just a dumb rubber that not protect from fall etc
it also cannot stand if the surface is not flat (unlike the picture in the ad).
looking at 3rd party case from amazon.
*
Yep, and for around RM200 there are better 3rd party options around
Not going to buy from amazon, waiting for local reseller

during preorder, did not have that 50% discount. when i arrive at SES only saw that ad.
when i ask them, still no stock available from them.

I'm looking at this
The keyboard cover for my S7 is not that well build, the hinge broke within a few months
Pretty much need to patch it with super glue every month

Received Spigen's Rugged Armor Pro after 4 days of waiting, wayyy better build quality than Samsung's case
I just hope the rubber will last thou, last time my spigen case for S21U turns sticky after 2 years

Anyone use flip magnetic case? Any recommended local shops that i can buy from?
*
I'm using Spigen's, pretty good
But the magnetic sensor is right beside the hinge, sometimes when you open or close too fast it wouldn't dim or light up the screen

when close, the screen will sleep, when open, it will wake but still need to use fingerprint to unlock.
Spigen can get locally? any link?

Can u provide your short review on this case?
My moko already bulk, spigen transparent seems thin.
*
Thick and heavy, decent build quality
But S pen is a bit harder to pull out using this case because both sides of the pen slot is covered
