Can the phone balance upright on its side when it's in this case?

Yes, I use it all the time to watch a video or watch a movie. You can set it on its side and it stands up. This is really a great find!

I had to try mine out to answer this but on its side, yes. Standing upright (with the bottom being the part of the phone where you plug in the charger), no - it tips over.

It's stands completely vertical, in other words not angled. The only way to angle is to rest the back on something else. Either way works.

Yes. With CC's and IDs in the case, it'll stay on it's side easier than if there is no case.

Yes it can lay on its side although the stand is as shown in the picture a triangular shape. It may be awkward but I don't think if left will fall over

If you are referring to using it as a stand the answer is Yes. The case remains horizontal and the iPad can rotate to a vertical position. There are two slots you can use to rest the bottom of the iPad in to change the viewing angle.

Are you referring to the magnet? Or the case it's self either way it can if you have the settings on the phone set up that way..

It will not allow it to stand vertically. You can hold it vertically with the flap across the back while holding it in your hand. It is a nice case overall for the price.

The case is not that thin, and might not fit a horizontal case... I am using a vertical case which the phone fits into

No. it does not stand this way. I will fall over because there is no way to secure it in that position.

I see someone else said yes, I was going to say no, horizontally, so, now I'm not sure what you mean. If you lay the case on a table with the opening facing up, you place the phone down, into the opening. It fits inside easily.

Yes, but I think you have to be mindful of which way the phone is turned in the case.

I suppose that it potentially could - there is a slightly raised lip around the front of the phone. So if it fell face down, the screen shouldn't actually hit the ground.

I have only used it on the side temporarily(when I first installed it). I use it upright 100% of the time.

I wouldn't recommend using it on its side. It is an otherwise great case though.

There is a similar thin plastic cover that snaps into place, and while I haven't tested it with anything heavy like a phone, it does stay in place when shook around/held upside-down.

You can stand it both ways HOWEVER it's not as sturdy vertically. Horizontally, the kickstand works great.

The phone in its case stands on end (i.e., on the bottom) quite well, but not on its side (unless you had a loose rubber band, for example, to secure it when the cover was flipped back rather like an iPad).

Yes, if it doesn't fall down! It takes a bit of a light touch to balance the unit whichis incredibly top heavy this was designed for an iPod. Mine is collecting dust now as i"'m tired od doing battle with it! I stmil Disapprove of this unit.afterthought unit!

Agreed with first answer, but also the case will lay flat against the back and the magnet won't get in the way of the phone laying flat, either.
