Whether the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 two-in-one tablet winds up giving the Apple iPad Pro a run for its money, the Android tablet is a delicate piece of equipment designed for both work and play, and can even serve as a laptop stand-in. The Galaxy Tab S6 from Samsung is relatively small and lightweight, weighing in at less than a pound, but with a 10.5-inch glass screen. It looks similar but improves on its predecessors with smarter design, faster performance, and a better camera.
The Tab S6 comes in some mightily attractive colors — Mountain Gray, Cloud Blue, and Rose Blush. If you choose to buy the optional Book Cover Keyboard case, it serves not only as an external keyboard complete with a trackpad for use with the tablet’s desktop-centric Dex mode, but also as a case cover. For $179, you can have the whole package with keyboard and case cover rolled into one, but that may be too high a price for someone primarily seeking a tablet and planning to use it less frequently for business or typing. Luckily, there’s always the option of purchasing a third-party cover, or perhaps a less expensive keyboard-cover combo. You’ll find a wide range of Tab S6 cases designed specifically for Samsung’s tablet, and we’ve selected a few that stand out for their quality, convenience, and low price.
