Will the case hold up the iPad in Portrait position?

No, it will stand on end but it is awkward unless you don't mind that it doesn't tilt back. It's great for landscape view, I use that all the time so I don't miss not using portrait view.

Yes, it would.The case allows the iPad Mini to be vertical, either with the keyboard in front of the iPad, for data entry, or with the keypad behind the Mini, for reading.

Yes it will, I really enjoy this case. My iPad looks very beautiful in it. You will like and enjoy it.

I thought the same. But when you have the iPad in the case you will be able to have a more sturdy case when seating at the standing position. Hope it helps!

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.

The support of the case allows the iPad to stand still on landscape only. It can stay in a lower height or as shown in the picture.

Yes, it will rotate to a horizontal position. I have an iPhone 5 and it will hold it like this.

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.

It stands up in portrait mode as well. Just like a hard cover/copy book. It's a great case, my 1st case & I Love it.

The case has four corner groves that the iPad should snap into and hold the iPad securely. Unfortunately it does not snap in to fit and be held securely. It can slip out. So I am careful when I open the cover.

Doesn't hold it up while in portrait. But its an amazing case none the less. Also check out my eBay item to root and mod it as to unlock its full potential! 100% positive feedback eBay Item: 161023141705

it would hold. But if the case breaks or is broken while you used it it would fall

No but you can stand it upright in portrait mode. I have had the case for over 6 months and wouldn't trade it for anything! I love it so much. Kids and I both usually hold or lay flat in portrait. Most of what we do is in landscape since the keyboard is easier to use that way. I highly recommend this case!!!

With this particular case, the ipad mini cannot be in an upright position on its own. However, the rubbery texture of the case allows for a good grip if propping up against something, like against a wall on a countertop.

Yes it would. The opening that holds the item is about 1/4" thick at bottom and comes up to about 1" I use to hold my tablet on landscape mode all the time.

You can position the iPad in either portrait or landscape positions. I actually prefer the landscape as it makes it easier to use.

Nancy, I wouldn't trust it to handle an iPad in portrait position. It has a release system that allows the user to remove the iPad holding assembly from the arm and gravity holds it in place. It simply involves pegs sliding into slots and then pushing it down to the bottom of the slot. While it works perfectly for landscape positioning, it might be tempted to slip out of the slots as gravity might work against it at the wrong angle.In summary, no, I would not recommend holding a precious iPad in portrait mode with this unit.
