Keyboard Case for Tab A9+

[jaja714]

My new Tab A9+ has a 3-pin connection for a keyboard.  Why doesn't Samsung sell a keyboard case for the Tab A9+?

I believe Samsung only makes book cover keyboards for the S Series tablets. I know there are book cover keyboards available for A9 plus from third parties on Amazon or walmart.

So, maybe my question should've been:

WHY DID SAMSUNG BOTHER TO PUT 3-PIN KEYBOARD CONNECTORS ON A9+ TABLETS?

So if you wanted to purchase a third party keyboard cover or any other accessory utilizing the three pins would work?

As long as it behaved the same way, that would work.   

The only 3rd party products google search is able to find are clunky Bluetooth keyboards that require separate batteries which don't connect directly to the tablet.  The keyboards aren't "attached" to the case and just slide all around.  Finally, the cases that accompany them are not creased in the right places to let you stand up the tablet like a laptop.  You need to "prop" it up with something heavy like a pot from the kitchen.  Did AI design all this **bleep**?

Still, just like all forums, no one can answer the question.   As I say, I'm baffled as to why Samsung would go out of their way to make it in the first place and, if they did, why purposely make the 3-pin connector a completely different size than all other Samsung tablets?

You know, if EVERYONE simply used Apple products ... you know, things that are designed correctly and work correctly ... maybe they wouldn't be so **bleep** expensive.

I am fully aware that they did make one but, unfortunately, no one sells it.  The tablets are in every store, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, etc. but nowhere in the world can you find the keyboard cover.

The Chinese importer Shein has it for $19.99. I have bought many things from Shein and Temu and as long as you are conscientious, they are reputable companies. Walmart also has it for $26.99. Here's the big however, they all look like their third party not OEM Samsung.
