You are able to fold behind it in a flat position. You won't regret buying it.

The magnets on the Ipad hold the cover on but it does NOT have a latch or anything to keep the two sides together. As long as it is laying flat or you are hold it, no problem. I do love the keyboard!!

There is a magnet inside the flat board, near the top. I can tell it helps to hold my iPad and keep it from falling forward. I don't believe that magnets this weak can damage the digital readers, because my keyboard connects to my iPad magnetically and I've been using that for years.

Yep. It just clicks on and becomes the back of the whole iPad. I carry the iPad around all day, swinging it this way and that, letting it dangle from my hand while using both hands to bring in groceries, etc. VERY helpful. But was initially disappointed at having to remove the stand previously on back. Now, just prop it all up.

Yes you can, no problem. BUT when I open a book the front cover goes to my left. Not so with this cover IF you want the Kindle to not open up-side-down. Leave it on auto rotate and all is well after the Kindle is fired up. No biggie, just an obvious over sight that surprised me.

It will not. However, you can always set the Ipad on the top trade / cover leaning against a wall.

I use this with my ipad, which is housed in a case that opens like a book. I don't have to take the ipad out of the case. The top flips back over nicely. I can adjust as needed. You won't have to take ipad out of the case.

It doesn't fold like that in the standard position (home button on the same side as the on/off switch) but but you can flip your ipad then reconnect the magnetic bar and it will fold behind the ipad just fine.

The iPad sits in the slot just after the keyboard keys toward the top. It invaded the iPad but when not used as cover can be used as a stand. Do you have an additional cover on your iPad. If so it may not fit down in that slot.

It would depend on how large the book is. Keep in mind that it has a piece of leather sewn to the front (a stop), that keeps the ipad from slipping down. There is 1 1/2 inch between the stop and the pillow, so the book when open could not be deeper than that. The height of the book could be about 12 inches a the most., and the width of the book when the pages are open, could be about 20 inches. So that sounds like a pretty big book!

Absolutely. The cover folds both forward to cover the screen and backwards to serve as a stand. Further, the strap can serve as a handle or over the cover to hold the cover closed. Just remember, if you want to iPad to go to sleep when you close the cover, insure you have the home button on the right hand side when you close the cover.

I actually have no problem what so ever. Fits as snug as a bug in a rug. I did find that the cover was a little awkward when opening it as the iPad was upside down. But that I have to blame the user and not the product. It is exactly as advertised!

Yes, it completely covers the iPad, front and back. The edges are only slightly exposed. The iPad doesn't go to the very edge. It sits inside about a half inch so it's protected if you drop it and it lands on an edge The iPad is held in place with elastic anchors in each corner but it doesn't latch shut. It opens easily like a book.

The cover is open on 3 sides so it should be no problem. I absolutely LOVE mine - it's gorgeous and very easy to use. I especially like that the little flap that holds it closed is magnetized or something, as it instantly catches and releases with a minimum of effort.

I use primarily as an iPad stand, actually. It does have two pressure bars on the bottom which I think are there to swing up and hold a book open. It is a quality stand...solid.

The cover is the back of the keyboard. When the keyboard is in use the iPad fits in a groove just above the keys and the back of the keyboard faces the desk or table. When the unit is used as a cover, the keyboard is flush against the screen of the iPad and the back of the keyboard becomes the cover.

In short, not safely. This folio is designed to open in landscape orientation. The hinge only rotates one way, making the whole thing open like a netbook or laptop. The iPad half of the case is attached to the keyboard along the entire spine, so to speak, so there is no other way to rotate the iPad so long as it is in the case. According to at least one online review, it is possible to take the iPad out of the case and lean it in portrait mode against the back of the folio when open. I can't imagine that the manufacturer would recommend doing so, especially since that would leave the iPad unsecured and the back of the case itself (the part designed to hold the iPad, not the keyboard) is just bendable plastic. To the best of my knowledge, the only keyboard folio that allows you to rotate the iPad in its case so you can type with the tablet in either orientation is the Versavu made by Targus. Just be sure to read the reviews on the latest model (for the iPad Air), as the quality of the materials looks and reportedly feels cheaper than previous incarnations. Some keyboard covers permit portrait orientation as well, though most not as well as landscape. This is likely due to the fact that the iPad has magnets along its long sides but not the short sides, so it cannot be secured magnetically in portrait mode.
