Good, solid cover

This is a good cover for the Samsung Tab A 10.1.
As others have mentioned, the Tab A has no mounting holes like other Samsung devices, so this one simply uses magnetic backing to hold the tablet in place. It's a pretty firm grip and holds the tablet very securely.
My only negative feedback is this case does not have a small, flip piece on the end like other Samsung covers... it is just like a book cover that goes over the front and back side with no flip piece to either hold the back solid or the front closed. If you look at 8 and 9" Samsung tablet covers, you'll see what I mean. It's just a half-inch wide, hinged flap that secures it and this is a much missed little feature.
Overall, it is built well, cleans easy and holds the tablet very securely.

Good tablet!

This is a very zippy tablet with ample system space and beautiful display.
Under heavy use, it does get a little warm as well as drains battery rather quickly. For example, if making Skype video calls you can chew through a battery in about 2 hours. If 50/50 sleep and active use, I get about 8-10 hours battery life. I use mainly O365 (a lot of eMail and Outlook), Skype for Business, Twitter, XFinity WiFi app and ESET Mobile Security daily, and occasional Google apps like Maps, Search, YouTube, etc.
The cameras are average image quality and the speakers are fairly small and poor so plan to use earbuds for some functionality. I was hoping to use as a car GPS but even max volume is not very distinguishable in a car setting.
The GPS does work fantastic and the Wifi is great. GPS acquires position quickly and handles interference (bridges, overpasses, tunnels) well and the WiFi gets a strong, solid, fast signal even with weak or far access points.
Construction is solid. No concerns in my pocket getting in and out of cars, chairs, etc. as it does not flex and built strong. Light drops are fine too.
Screen is bright, wonderful color and amazing contrast. The screen is also very strong and incredibly scratch resistant. Cat game tested and polydactyl cat approved with NO scratches after rigorous fish and mouse scratching high-scores.
Touch screen/tactile feel is above average. Lighter taps have good reponse. Swipe and gestures are positive with little error even initially.
Price point is a bit high, especially given it's a 3GB RAM memory device with 2kx1.5k display, but the 32GB system storage is good.. so look for sales.

Good controller but faulty hardware

This will be my third controller in just 2 years across multiple computers as the receiver has a terrible design flaw- it has a surface fuse that burns out.
The controller works great, long lasting and offers lag-free wireless performance, but you will need to replace the receiver due to the flawed hardware design with the receiver. Luckily, there are Chinese knock-off receivers but they are not compatible with 64-bit Windows or Windows 10 so buy with caution!
All three controllers work perfectly still but I keep buying these for the receiver. I will be buying the new Steam controller next with hopes of not having to replace the receiver every several months...
