Infiland Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Premium Keyboard Case Stand Review

By Markus Lai in Gear, Review
February 2, 2020

I picked up the Infiland Galaxy Tab 10.1 case for the 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet (SM-T580/585) from Amazon Canada for $31. It comes with a short micro USB cable for charging the detachable Bluetooth cable. It’s designed for the 2016 model of the Galaxy Tab A (SM-T580/585) without the S Pen.

The keyboard keys themselves are good for word processing and surfing the net. It detaches from the case itself easily as it is connected to the case by magnets

Christopher Tolkien, son of JRR Tolkien, creator of the Lord of the Rings, has passed away on January 16, 2020 at the age of 95. Chris was instrumental in organizing many of his father’s works posthumously for nearly 50 years and helping to bring works like The Simarillion to the public. You’ll be dearly missed.
