A:AnswerThis tablet has a keyboard that pops up on the screen but I purchased an attachable keyboard to use as well. So far I am very pleased with this purchase!
A:AnswerThe Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 does not have an IR blaster for use as a TV remote. The tablet is so darn thin...something had to be shaved off the device to accommodate is svelte size, and I'm guessing the IR capability was one of them.
A:AnswerIt does have a spot for micro SD you can expand up to 64 GB. But you cant use your T mobile SIM card because its WIFI only it will not connect to a phone carrier.
A:AnswerAs far as I know, you would need the version that accepts a Verizon SIM card.

A:AnswerNormally a screen is measured diagonally. The case may indeed be 9.3 high with a 9.7 inch diagionally measured screen. There are differences in the placement of buttons and cameras on the S2 version and previous tablets. Read the case specifications carefully and look for statements that the case is for an S2. I tried several cases before I found one that I liked. Some ads include a keyboard, but the keyboard may not fit inside the case. Keyboards come in Bluetooth and USB versions. I chose the Bluetooth version. Lots of choices and prices in cases. Read carefully and good luck.
