Can the iPad be oriented so the screen shows in "portrait" rather than "landscape?" I want to reduce the eye scanning movement.

In short: no. Your best bet to reduce the appearance of someone "reading the prompter" is to set the prompter a little further away from the user and zoom the camera more, through the polarized screen. The other thing to do is enlarge the text some, and always make sure the person can control the speed and pause the scrolling of the text. It also helps to know your copy. Remember, these are not like Auto Cues, but they are a good substitute when you're on a tight budget.

True, the container is fixed, but the iPad can be oriented in portrait. On the other hand, this won't give you any benefits. It only shows one line at a time and in portrait orientation that line will be more condensed, therefore letters will be smaller/less text in the line. You should be using it in landscape.

No, it's not possible to keep the iPad from rotating. I haven't seen any cases that do allow you to lock the rotation of the device within the case.

Unfortunately you couldn't stand the ipad up in the keyboard portrait style because the support/grip slots only support landscape mode.

Sorry...don't know. I only use my digital frames in landscape position. The portrait orientation pics show up in the middle of the screen with some space on either side. I like it that way.

Sort of, yes. You will need to pull the iPad from the grippy hinge and place it back inside in a portrait arrangement. Because the edge grips the iPad tightly, pulling the iPad out to turn it is a bit inconvenient. Supposedly, this case was to have a 'reading mode' design which would have allowed the hinge to fold against the back of the keyboard so you could hold the unit vertically in your hand. Unfortunately, the hinge stops at a maximum angle of 135 degrees which prevents this fold-back arrangement. So pulling the iPad out, turning it and shoving it back into the hinge is the only way to manage portrait mode. So, MD's answer is correct if a bit less explanatory. After messing around with this case more, I now understand how the reading mode is supposed to work. But, it's not what you'd expect. You are expected to pull the iPad from the hinge, flip it around so that it faces upward. Magnets pop out of the hinge to hold the keyboard and the iPad together. Albeit, the magnets alone are not as grippy as the hinge, but at least both pieces are functionally together. Not the best design, but it works when you are simply wanting to keep both together.

Not specifically, I mean you can set up the stand and put it up-down, though then its not at an angle. What I prefer though is the hand hold, there is the elastic hand strap that I end up using all the time to comfortably use it to rest in my hand in the portrait mode.

This is hard to explain so bear with me...So the device goes into a plastic sleeve of sorts and then you can choose to put another plastic lid on top of that to cover the screen. Under that lid is the stand. The stand lays flat until you pull up on the center of it. Then it makes one of these _/\_. One side is good for typing and the other is better for viewing. Unfortunately it does not do portrait mode. I've tried. To close it, you just push down on the center of it again and it closes. Pretty simple.

The iPad, when snapped into the plastic backing case, rotates a full 360 degrees. It can be viewed at any angle. The only limiting feature is if you want to support the iPad with the other half of the Devicewear case. Then it must be either completely vertical or horizontal. Hope I understood your question correctly.

Yes. You can tilt so the iPad is horizontal about 6 inches above whatever surface the stand is on. In that position the iPad can be rotated 360 degrees. The stand is very sturdy and holds the iPad firmly.

You cannot physically rotate the screen on its mount, but if you have an aftermarket one it should be possible. All monitor images can be changed into portrait mode by right clicking on the desktop, clicking "screen resolution", and changing the "orientation" pulldown menu.

I think so. It will have to be in the landscape position. My iPad works in either position.

Not so much "rotate" as flip it. The iPad can flip over to share with somebody sitting across from you. It's very useful in my husband's landscaping business, he can effortlessly share his ideas with his clients

No. You use the keyboard as a screen protector *instead* of using a case. The iPad fits into a hinged clip on one side of the keyboard, such that you can flip up the iPad into a near-vertical position, as though it were the screen of a laptop.

Yes...because of the 360 degree rotation feature, the iPad has to be turned the right way.

Bill,Yes, the devicewear supports having the iPad in both the landscape and upright portrait positions... Very solid grooves in the bottom flap to keep the iPad sturdy in both positions... Was one of the major reasons I selected the devicewear... It's a great product, you won't be disappointed... Best regards, Mark

I've only used landscape. Your question made me stop and think about the keyboard and it in fact does not work in portrait mode.

Yes, it has a portrait angle it just is not set up as a stand. There is a band that holds the tablet in place and you can use the palm band on the reverse side. Look in the picture on the top right.
