I'm a little afraid of the 'tabs', etc. Is the tab durable? Is that portion of the case good design?

I would say yes they are durable. Once my PaperWhite was put in this case almost 6 months ago not once have I had reason go even think about the tabs. They hold the reader just fine. The tabs are not flimsy. If anything the elastic will eventually stretch out from pulling over the top tab (holds the back of the case to the reader when it is open). By the time the elastic gives way i am pretty sure the reader will probably be needing to replaced due to issues with use and age. I am very happy with this case.

It has presented no problems so far, although I do not get to use it much since I have my thumb in place (in front) to turn the page.

If by "tab" you mean what I call handle - where I slide my hand - it is definitely good and strong and comfortable - I don't see a picture of this gadget closed but hat folds over easily and I have been very satisfied with it, and there's a tiny tab at the bottom with a tiny loop that keeps it closed.

I have only had mine for about a month and so far everything including the tabs has held up well. I use the tab at the top most and I was a little worried about this one breaking over time. It seems at this point to be very durable and works well so I will have to see. I have carpal tunnel and had a hard time holding just the kindle device. This product allows me to hold the kindle better and has served that purpose very well. I hope this helps.

I've had it for about a month, and the tabs are fine. Solid construction. Opened and closed many many times, no loosening at all.

I've had mine almost two years, constantly popping it in and out of the bottom tabs, and they're holding up well. Some of them are showing slight wear if you look closely, but that's because they're protecting the corners of the device as it gets thrown in and out of bags and takes the occasional tumble. They may be the best secure-a-gadget solutions I've seen in a case, vs. straps, hardshell, or a sleeve.

Yes. I think there is one of those tabs you have to break and then kind of unzip all the way around, if memory serves. Are you concerned about the possibility of spillage somewhere?

Yes but I wouldnt recommend taking it off multiple times because that can stress the plastic tabs that hold the case together and they break off. i am now missing two tabs that hold my case together. my case still works fine it just is not uniformly closed anymore.

The Note is slightly larger than the Tab. It may fit a little lose. If they have not made a Tab case then I would suggest you try it. I'm happy I got it because I'm accident prone lol so if it don't work return it. It's worth a try

Keyboard is fairly secure. Yes the keyboard iss removeable since it is held in place by magnets Just be careful when folding case into different stances, as I've had keys pop off. Now a few of the keys don't work. I don't think I would reorder this case for its keyboard function. It does give very good protection for the tablet. I've dropped the tablet and no damage. Now the inside leatherette? Is slightly peeling. In general it has held up as I use the tablet so very much.

I would definitely buy the case for it. Overall...it is decent when it comes to being dropped (as long as it does not fall on the screen) it will last for a bit

I don't have a screen protector on my tab, but I use a roocase executive portfolio to protect it. My 8.4 tab pro travels with me and usually gets tossed about in a brief case or backpack so I wanted something snug and secure to protect my investment. It's a little costly @ about $40 and the color choices are limited (bright red, hot pink, or black which I think that something labeled 'executive portfolio ' would offer more business like color options!) I have no regrets about my decision to buy the case, love the tablet, love the case!

It's pretty good, in my case at least. I've dropped mine countless times and it has yet to break (until I took it out of the case, dropped it on the ground accidentally, and had it run over with a truck). But yeah, it's a good case.

Oh and the elastic bands do not secure the Tablet at all, it keeps falling out, so...for the price I only use this case to protect my Surface from dust when I'm not using the tablet.Hope this helps.

I agree with what others have said. It's a near perfect keyboard case but mine too cracked by the on/off tab, rendering it useless. I had to return mine, thank you Amazon.

Yes it is durable. There is a slot for the nexus to sit in. But you can't have a case on the Nexus. The keyboard and Nexus clamp together. The Nexus screen is down so you don't have to worry about it breaking. When they are clamped together it wil be fine in a backpack

Not at all. This is the best version of this style case out there!!! Love it!!! Great build quality and no issues :-)

very durable. The side panel is made of matte steel. front and top panel is made from plastic with a touch of rubbery feel to it. Just be careful with the harddrive caddy. It tends to break easily. Overall it an awesome case

It's very nice and seems very protective. Not going to experiment to find out...LOL I did order another case that was suggested for it, Poetic brand , leather, and makes a stand and also has slots for cards and stylus if used. Using the included cover for now as I love the color and don't carry Tab around in purse, using it at home. Hope this helps...

I love mine! Have had it a few years and have no problem at all. Once I put my tablet in it I have not taken it out.

I honestly never had an issue. The case it not really made for protection as much as it is for looks, feel and functionality. I have two cases and love them.
