SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro 10" Tablet (Open Box)

I got the 6GB RAM WiFi only version. It took Amazon a whopping 3 weeks to ship to Alaska - for Prime member! That aside, first impression of tablet were very positive. However, I've now had it for a few weeks, and am less excited about the tablet. Many nice ideas, and nice execution on some, but not so much on others: the tablet is quite heavy. The separate ruggedizing case it comes with is a hard plastic shell. It is very slick and slippery, hard plastic, without rubberizing, texture or ribbing that helps holding the tapered (!) slick shape. Not easy to hold, and in fact I decided to order a different skin (RAM Mounts).The three physical buttons (Home, Back, Menu) are welcome but are black on black and very hard to see or feel. The fingerprint sensor integrated into the home button does not work for me most of the time (even though same type on my XCover 6 Pro works well for me). Maybe because of orientation or proximity to case ridge? The S-pen is way too small to be useful, especially when using gloves! It is too small, short, and the pen button cannot be seen (again black on black), nor felt (no relief). And finally, Bixby is just infuriating and difficult to completely deactivate and can't disable or uninstall all. For a while, I could not even figure out how to turn the tablet off without going through the freaking bixby routines. Overall, Bixby and Samsung UI appear more instrusive and annoying than on XCover, where I was able to deactivate it all. I do like to removable/replaceable battery, idea of S-pen (will probably separately buy a larger, older S-pen), and ruggedness (better with a different skin.
