I first bought this item for my old Galaxy a few years ago, and it was made from sturdier material. The faux leather for the new model is somewhat flimsy, and it looks like it could rip soon if I'm not extra careful when handling it. However, the pen pouch and its location are great new features. The keyboard is the same great quality as the last keyboard. It works great and is easy to pair. I will stick with this company when I purchase again, but I hope the material used for the case is of better quality for longevity as I keep my Galaxy tablets for a few years.
