You are correct, you can't fold the keyboard back, you would just remove it.

You would probably have to remove the keyboard. It would be too big to wrap around nicely and easily.

No it is too thick to fold around the back but the keyboard is really easy to take off and on.

Be careful removing the ipad from the case. You need to slide it toward the keyboard to remove safely. I pulled upward once when in a hurry and cracked the corner where the plastic tab for turning the pad on and off is located. even with that crack, though, the pad still fits securely in the case.

Yes, however the keys are exposed so you would need a carrying (bag/case) to protect it. I bought a carrying case for the tablet, however when I place it inside the case the power switch is activated. Currently I'm looking to invest in a carrying case (inside dimension 7"x12) that will hold the tablet with the keyboard attached. BTW: I've accepted the keyboard for what it is and use it everyday. The ergonomics of the keyboard matches your fingers nicely and the keypads are quite larger. Don't spend $70 bucks for it though...buy it on discount somewhere!!!! I've seen it cheaper than $70 bucks. Yes, however the keys are exposed so you would need a carrying (bag/case) to protect it.

You can fold the ipad over the keyboard. It does put the ipad kind of in a slightly awkward position but its not bad.

You can remove the keyboard and use the case without it. The keyboard is attached to the case by magnets. As for it being bulky, it is compared to cases that don't come with keyboards but it's nothing to extreme. The keyboard is a little less than a 1/4 inch thick.

You can fold it back if you don't want to use it. I read books with the keyboard folded back.

When you attach the keyboard to the Surface Pro 2, can you flip it and the cover behind the Pro to use it in tablet mode? Or will the keyboard pop off?

I use mine in the case. When the I-pad is open so is the case. My case has a keyboard separate from the I-pad, and when I want to use the keyboard I just turn it on. When I just want to read, I fold the keyboard back out of the way behind the pad. I believe the covers were made to leave on. Bonnie

Unfortunately we have not tried usuing the stylus while using the keyboard. But we have been able to move within the screen by touch with no problem, I would think you could use the stylus.

I love my keyboard and it is a nice cover/case . When the my iPad mini is installed on the Bluetooth keyboard it is great mini laptop. You can use the keyboard separately, but your iPad mini has to be with-in 12" of the keyboard so they can connect to each other. So you can turn the iPad anyway you want. I hope this help with your question.

I wouldn't describe it as securely attached to the case when folded back. It's liable to pop off in that configuration and it isn't comfortable to hold in that setup. I actually don't recommend this keyboard/case combo. There are much better bluetooth keyboards out there (this keyboard is cramped and laid out really weird) and the case looks cheap. There are lots of other cases available and folding bluetooth keyboards offer a vastly superior typing experience.

It doesn't fold behind the mini like the soft cover does. However, if you flip it, as Collin said, the magnet will grab and they hold nicely together. You don't have to put the keyboard aside, which would be inconvenient when not at a desk

Hey Upset, don't be upset about this case - it protects both the tablet and keyboard sections and both can remain incased (in the respective portions of the case) when used separately or together. You do not have to remove either portion from its' section of the case to dock/undock them. It is a little tricky to dock while in the case but once you've done it once or twice it's not that tough and really gives a good overall fit. Hope this helps.

With the keyboard attached there is a snap closure; without it, nothing keeps it closed other than the cover's weight. I have not found this to be a problem using my Asus tablet only. --- John

1) the keyboard can not be removed from the case, it is integrated. Anyway, I have never tried to remove it.2) I think it is a kind of lighter case for me.What the case interests me the most is it is easy to use and is very convenient for input.

Only if you flip the case front cover over behind the tablet's back, so you'll have to take the keyboard off before closing the case again. You will also have to take the two lower front claws (on the right and left of the windows button) that keep the back attached off the tablet - I hardly ever use my keybord, so for me, it's no biggie. It's much more important to have a slim cover for me.

Yes, it will fold completely flat against the keyboard. This is a big improvement over the previous version of this, because the previous version had a hinge, so you could never lay the tablet completely flat.
