[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] dbpaddler:
The ones I got for my original Tab S were crap. The case itself felt like thin cheap cardboard and the one button kept coming undone. The only redeeming quality was the magnet was stronger. The magnet in the samsung one was beyond weak and never held up to any sort of gaming or movement and kept flattening out.

I ended up picking up the book case with the plastic snap in back. Adds a touch of thickness, but the magnet is stronger, the case feels more premium than the china two button ones, and it does provide more protection. Here it is.

But honestly, the book type covers are much more stable and solid when in the different stand modes than the ones where lid folds over itself into a triangle. But I guess it's more about what's important to you.

How is it thinner with a shell than the simple covers that utilize the snap in buttons? Seems like kind of a wash.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Accessories] atonalfilm:
Hi Folks, before, i allways bought third-party covers for my tabs.......at the Tab S2 (SM-T815 LTE), i tried different ones, but they are all much too heavy, so i don`t want to make a ultra light weight Tabelet to a heavy duty one.........And, I´m also using a bluetooth keyboard most of time, if i had to wrote longer EMails and other things......so, this time i got the original samsung one :

http://www.samsung.com/at/consumer/mobile-devices/accessories/input/EJ-FT810MBEGDE

And, it`s really perfect!!! With the keyboard within, it`s a bit heavy, ok, but it`s ok for a complete device, with external keys. But! You can put the magnetic holded keyboard out to use it complete seperately (By the way with two different devices). And the cover only is very tight and light weight. So, the tab is covered, you have three possibilities to make it as a stand by the magnetic holders, and, the tab`s display goes out if you close the cover.

The keys are amazing! You have specialized Android keys, a mouse pad, and it works just perfect !!!!! And you can handle the keyboard complete seperatly, that`s what i really like............

BTW : I also bought the docking station , with 2 USB Ports, charging input, HDMI out and LAN connector.....this is awesome !!!! And, this is not connected like the other docking stations by putting the device directly on a micro usb pin! It have a short cable, so you can choose the direction for the tab by yourself..........and it works perfect also. LAN connection in office or at home is great, very fast. And you can keep all beeing connected, just put the tab in the stand, connect the cable and all is running. At the beginning, i have some Problems with apps like Chrome, they only accept a 3/4G or Wifi connection, but there is a app in playstore calles "true ethernet" that is simulating a 4G Connection for LAN, this app runs in the background, so you just have to install it...thats all, and you can use all apps with a ethernet connection also......think you need root for this app........

The Samsung keyboard cover is a bit more expensive than the other ones, but not so much, but if you try it, you will see, it`s really better to spend this more money, so you have a device and cover, that fits 100 percent for your device.....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gekko2:
Whenever I can I try to use software to lock my Nexus 6P (running Marshmallow 6.0 with Nexus Imprint Fingerprint Scanner) (to save the power button) - all of the non-root apps that I've tried including "Screen Off and Lock" lock the device, but then I cannot unlock it again using the fingerprint sensor. I have to manually input my pattern/password after touching the sensor, which kind of defeats the purpose. For some reason Android will require a password and not let you unlock with fingerprint if you turn off and lock the screen with such apps. Any thoughts? Any fix ideas? I've already emailed Katecca the Developer of "Screen Off and Lock" asking for help.

Waking/Unlocking is so effortless on the N6P with the fingerprint scanner i'm looking for an effortless way to lock it without having to press the power button. And i like my 2 minute screen lock timeout so i don't want to shorten it. A "Double Tap" or other gesture to lock and off the screen would be great. Especially for the N6P which is a HUGE phone the power button is not always easy to navigate to - especially with the volume buttons so close.

That's a known issue since Lollipop, due to lacking an API to lock the device without breaking the Smart Lock. I think the finger-print unlock works the same way as Smart Lock. See

Is it really that important to not touch the power button? Your not going to kill it......unless you plan to click it non-stop for a year, every couple seconds.

Thanks for the heads up. Tried it, takes 10 seconds to lock the phone and it kinda lags you from turning it back on quickly if you forgot to do something. It does work though, hopefully they can make it work a bit quicker in the future.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusanagi Fire:
It's technically not that difficult to do and can be done without AutoInput. I use a shell command with "input keyevent 26" (which is the power button) and then map the task to Nova Launcher's double tap. Of course, this solution requires root, which doesn't help the folks who wish to stay completely stock.

I too was frustrated using screen off apps on my 6P because all of them would secure lock the phone. This also happened to me with Smartlock on Lollipop, which is why I ultimately settled on Tasker (and root) as a solution.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gekko2:
yeah the problem is i'm not Rooted and i don't want to be. i'll just have to wait for Google to provide the APIs for Developers to be able to offer an elegant solution. it looks like they are aware of the problem as it not only affects Nexus Imprint but also Smart Lock -

Screen lock pro works for me. Couldn't seem to get gravity screen configured properly... But that could just have been me.

The delay doesn't seem to be in turning off the screen, that happens straight away. There's a pause before the phone sleeps where I can't turn the screen back on.

I wouldn't say its 10 seconds, more like 5. I can live with that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigal77:
Bought it and works great

No delay whatsoever.... I think the ten seconds is the delay to attempt to unlock again but why would I unlock it within ten seconds of closing it?

Non issue. Highly recommended
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottjal:
Thank you, gravity worked for me.

Basically I turned off everything except the smart lock support. Then added the widget for "off" (not the one for lock) to the home screen.

Works fine but you can see the way it works is by setting your screen timeout to 15 seconds and dimming the screen to wait those 15 seconds once you hit the widget. If you hit where the dim home button is you can cancel it.

If you wanted a longer screen timeout setting that under display in settings doesn't appear to change gravity, the two are divorced after doing that.

To an interesting workaround that most of the screen off apps appear to be implementing now that fingerprint is in use.
