It goes into DeX if you leave it in that mode the last time you used it with the keyboard. If you turn it off while you have the keyboard and then take the keyboard off, it won't turn on with DeX. It's not random, but rather a "last used" approach to when attaching the keyboard works. I personally prefer this as sometimes I fold the keyboard back after attaching the keyboard but don't want it to go to DeX mode so I can continue using it as a tablet. If I then unfold the keyboard and want to use it as a laptop, then I just enable it with the function key it has for DeX.
Don't you realise that for the samsung keyboard trackpad case, you can detach the keyboard if you ever want to use it as a tablet for media consumption?
I got the book cover keyboard Slim, and I love it. I am not too keen on track pads, and between the touch screen and the S pen, I don't need a track pad or a mouse. It's called Slim because it takes up less room on the table, and it fits perfectly on my knee. I was going to buy the other one but this suits me fine. Dex comes on every time because I have it set up to come on automaically.
4:50 Dude! You are so funny! You have the biggest baddest most expensive tablet in the world specifically designed with a pen for taking notes and it has the most refined note taking software and you use paper and ink pen and stuff it into the sleeve!
i dont think the issue was with samsung. i think the issue was with you not doing your research on the caes behore buying them. it clearly shows the trackpad isnt on the front picture. i this it was an oversight on your end and not samsungs
@@peterdz9573I agree Samsung could have done better on showing keyboard, but on the other hand, if he did his research on a product that is serious in purchasing, would have avoided this frustration. Actually, you are only one on YT complain about this specific kind if issue. But, on the other side of things, I heard , more then a couple issues with people using the keyboard w/trackpad option; That resting your hand over keyboard to type, part of 1 , or both hands lands on Trackpad, causing movement, which causes unwanted actions from parts if hand touching Trackpad. For this reason, I prefer a keyboard option, and have 2 different BT options to replace Trackpad, for those times, mouse, or pad is more appropriate to use. Offen, I am not using dex, so most times, I don't need trackpad at all. Myself, have this keyboard because of those issues, plus I chose slim design mouse for portability, the other, a Kensington trackball, called a "Slim Blade", for that Desktop / Dex experience.
@peterdz9573 But the picture in front showed no trackpad, only a keyboard until the bottom. Unless you're blind and can't see the picture. Even the picture on the website shows that it doesn't have a keyboard.
I wasn't confused. The Slim doesn't have a trackpad, but the other one does. You can go into the settings to open Dex whenever the keyboard is attached.
I prefer much the slim cover as it's more stable than with the trackpad keyboard cover. Saw the difference when I was using my S6 and S9 now. With my trackapad keyboard, hard to put it lap or on the go
Using the Spigen. My only complaint is that the flap/cover is a little annoying to deal with, but that's purely due to this type of case and not this case in particular. (And if you plan to ever transport the case, having a cover is probably a very good idea.) It works well, feels good, and unlike some complaints I saw it is not too tight and works fine with a glass screenprotector installed.
I have never used the trackpad's on my laptops, and I would not use it on this either, so I am ok without it. However 70% of the time, my keyboard is not attached to my tablet, but I still want a kickstand, so for that reason, I would want the non slim.
Are all this cases with magnets affecting the S pen? I mean, in the past with the Galaxy S6 lite I have one with magnets that when drawing we get gaps where the magnets are.
I got the Slim Keyboard cover as a promotional add-on. The lack of a kickstand annoys me even more than the lack of a trackpad because I am tall and the viewing angle is very steep so I have to crouch and that hurts my neck. Sigh.
The Dexnor is by far the best case. It's a knockoff of the Apple magic keyboard and turns the S9 into a stable laptop that you can actually put in your lap.
Thanks. WHY are all these keyboard cases for Tablets SO UNLAPPABLE? I may have to opt out of the Galaxy S9 Ultra, & go for a Lenovo Extreme, just because I do everything on my lap, and no other tablet has a keyboard meant for a lap. Can you do a video on keyboard options for lap usages, over 12" screens & under 2lbs?
Hi Jerad, thank you for your video. I would say that slim keyboard is better for journeys when you don't have enough place for the tablet on the table or you need to work without a table at all.
Man, I got the slim from eBay, and I thought it was the other one, then I was shocked just like you and I don't want to pay for another one now 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
But, what about the Outdoor case from Samsung? That's the best one ---- everyone should buy it, after seeing all the cases in this video, it's the clear winner.
@@jeradhilltech Thank you for replying. This is an underrated availability, that many people need. And this feature should be highlighted in future ✨🩶 . And as you said, it surely gives an extension to hold the tablet, avoiding those accidental touched at the edges.
I'm salty, too. Bought the thin version also. Now, I am trying to find a way to return/ sell it to get the track pad. For the cost of the tablet, it should have come with it. Also, I have the previous cover, but the camera doesn't line up. I wish they would've made a rear cover only option. 😢
It's been a few months, if your still looking, I saw in another video, I am pretty sure it was Speigen, that had a removable bottom piece for using the Samsung keyboard.
Wish somebody would do a video on how good the Samsung S9 ultra does editing raw photo files on Lightroom. There is no videos of the difference between the 12 gigs of ram on the S9 ultra versus the S9 ultra with 16 gigs of ram that has one terabyte storage. Thinking about buying the one with 16 gigs of ram but nobody talks about it😊
I’m working on a video that includes that. The short answer is that it is the best Android tablet for Lightroom editing but I don’t enjoy the experience being that I also have an iPad Pro.
Amazing review, dude.. camera work, presentation, and overall quality is just something that i didn't expect being a first-time watcher. I really like your style i think am gonna subb.
Hi I am new to your Channel. Can you recommend a good keyboard case that protects the s9 Ultra that is not the Samsung Book Cover Keyboard. That is under $100. Thank you
I wish they made a 3 pcs keyboard case, the 2 peave you know but the 3ʳᵈ peace covering the edges of the tablet while leaving a small gap on the bottom to fit the keyboard case and have full protection and still have the flexibility to stand it at a preferred angle.
I only choose Apple products for a phone or tablet, Dell products for a laptop and pc... I want to make sure the only people I choose can operate my gadgets! I will never pay or give bonuses to other parties! If the new gadgets arrives expect for a pay and disregard this phone... Thankyou... Is that clear?
the reason the keyboard without a case is called slim is because it takes up less space on a counter. the entire tablet takes up the same space as just the keyboard for the trackpad case, i get it but slim is a stupid word to describe that concept.
I got stuck with the slim case after buying the bundle with the Tab S9 Ultra. Unfortunately, by the time I figured out that the case was not the right one, Samsung refused to take the slim case back. It's kind of misleading, especially since they sold it to me on line. Shame on you, Samsung!

Seems like there's a misunderstanding about the Samsung Slim Cover.Do you guys really use these products daily?People buy the tablet for Samsung Dex, touchscreen, and stylus, not to replace another notebook as we've been doing for the past 20 years. There's no need for a slow trackpad when the stylus is much faster. You could bring a mouse, but you don't need one with a tablet like this. It's time to break free from old habits!Another advantage of the Samsung Smart Cover is the keyboard, which is much shorter in depth, especially suitable for use with the stylus. Additionally, this cover is stable on the sofa, in a taxi, etc. (see the construction). The cover with a trackpad is far too unstable for that. Hence, I don't believe you guys actually use and test these products in your daily lives.
When I pre-ordered the keyboard, I too was duped by the weird nomenclature and there too, Samsung deliberately avoids showing a picture of it without the track pad!!!! I was so pissed! I loved my trackpad on S7+ keyboard case, I had the Moko for that one too, very classy. The slim keyboard is only useful in that it stays on your lap better than the other one. Thanks for this video 🤗
Really disgusting how Samsung convinced me to buy a Tab S9 Ultra by giving out the keyboard cover for free... Guess which keyboard they actually gave for free :) The one nobody buys because it has no trackpad... Why would they even make that thing to begin with...
Nikon Z7II Camera raw n basic jpg file does not supported by S9 Ultra.. pathetic. It's a just high price Smart Tv in small size.. 😢😢 I regrets buying it . . Procreate doesn't support android. Even you can't edit your photos on the go taken with DSLR. Even you can't copy paste a non support file . Phew. Don't waste your money on this.. if You an artist.. go with iPad. Now m just stuck..
This man is being so picky. The keyboard is fine. We have it and like it without the track pad. If you need the track pad, just inbox it in the store to be sure
