Just what I wanted
1. It protects the edges
2. The stand folds out in a small amount of space, so the overall footprint of the Tab S8 Ultra is not too big
3. The case gives you something to grab hold of when you carry the tablet about. Ironically, the bezels on the Tab S8 Ultra are a bit too small!! It may look good, but it means that if you pick the tablet up to carry it about, you inevitably end up triggering various operations on the edge of the touch screen. I find with this case attached that that no longer happens :-)
