I have an older Procase for my Samsung tab S3 that I like, so I thought I'd try one for the S7+. The way it's made works perfectly for setting the tablet in my lap while I'm in an easy chair. Because of the fully rectangular cover, which becomes the base, the whole works sits across both thighs in a very stable way. And of course it sits on a table or desk just fine. It has two grooves for preset viewing angles, but there is enough friction on the grippy surface of the inside of the cover to set the angle in between as desired. This is very helpful when using the tablet for Zoom meetings, so that you can set a more vertical angle to make the camera see you better.
I use external MicroSD cards in the trays of my Samsung tablets and I was a little disappointed that this case does not have an access hole for the tray like the previous one for my tab S3. See the photo, I was able to cut my own. The plastic is brittle so you have to work slowly. I used a tiny hobby saw to make the short side cuts and then a utility knife to make score lines on both sides of the long portion in order to snap off the tab of plastic. As you can see from my photo, the snap wasn't perfect because my scores weren't deep enough, but after a little more work with a tiny file, I had a perfectly usable access notch for the SD card tray. I don't use it very often but since the tablet fits very tightly into the case, it is a bit of work to pop it out and back in should you ever need to access the SD card in the tray.
I also very much appreciate the fact that they have designed a special pocket for the s pen in the bezel next to the screen of the tablet. This puts the pen on the inside when you fold the case up so you don't lose it. If you forget to stow the pen in the inside bezel pocket, you will lose it when you transport your tablet. It does not charge in this position but it is secure for transport.
This case is not designed to hold the tablet in portrait mode in your lap by itself, but you can fold it up into 'book mode' and use a pillow behind it for very comfortable use in portrait mode with the S pen. It's possible to make it stand vertically on a table in portrait mode but it's not terribly useful that way because of the viewing angle. Fortunately, the multi-fold design allows the entire case to fold up flat on the back of the tablet making it like a book, what I call 'book mode'. You can then prop the back of it up on something to get the angle you like for playing games or apps that will not rotate to landscape mode. You can hold the whole works in your hands like a book or Kindle reader if you prefer that.
It's a little too soon to judge the durability of this unit. The old Procase for my tab S3 had a thin black vinyl coating that started to peel around the outside edges and the hinge areas. This S7+ unit is made of a composite polymer that does not appear to have a peelable coating. The teal color is pleasing but the main hinge gets a lot of flexing and polymers that flex repeatedly over the years don't always hold up. Time will tell, but for now it's lightweight and quite functional.
