can you still use the keyboard when the ipad is not attached to the slot? can I use it while the ipad is in another case?

yes you can stil use it if the keyboard is out of its case because its connected by bluetooth. As long as the ipad is in close range to the keyboard then your good

Yes I have used my keyboard from 10 feet away. I'm sure you could go further but I had a hard time seeing the screen at that distance.

Of course, the keyboard connects via blue tooth, they simply must be in the same room and it will work.

Yes you can, I do all the time... if you don't want to hold the whole thing than you can just use the keyboard!

The keyboard serves as a case as well. It is a magnet that attaches to your iPad Air. Cannot attach any other case to it.

The keyboard and the frame into which the iPad is inserted are one piece and cannot be separated. You could (1) take the iPad out of the frame, not so easy, or (2) fold the entire assembly so that the keyboard is at the back of the iPad and you are using the iPad as a tablet. There are several videos among the amazon reviews.

Yes, you can separate them and use them apart from one another. However the stand is built into the keyboard case. I've used the keyboard to type and have propped the IPad up nearby.

Not if you want the iPad to fit in the slot on the keyboard. For my set up I have a simple clear Rocketfish cover that I have on the back of my iPad with a smart cover on front. Then when I want to use the keyboard I just pop that off and slide it into the keyboard slot. Then when I'm not using the keyboard I put my clear cover back on. It works pretty nice for me, and for <$30 the keyboard is great!

I don't think it would be a good idea to keep the thin case on then wedge that and the iPad Air in the slots for it to be joined with the Qwerty. The slots are snug with the iPad Air in it. If you put that and the thin case in the slots, it may be too think to hold both and possibly break the slots. Personally, I wouldn't do it.

As someone who owns that keyboard, I can say your iPad will fit in the slot just fine. You may, however, experience just a tad bit less magnetic grab from the magnets with the increased space between the magnets and the iPad with the skin on. I'm not sure about that because I don't use the skin anymore.

Its just a case for the ipad, so the keyboard would have to be kept separately. Im sure the ipad will still work with the keyboard, as the cover shouldnt affect it in any way. Not sure if the answer helps, but not quite sure I know what you are asking.

Yes you can! The strap of the case only secures the tablet itself. But the keyboard is definitely removable without having to remove the case.

Probably. You use it with the iPad in the hotizontal position. It extends a bit beyond the screen, but not beyond the iPad. You have to remove it to use the iPad in any way other than the keyboard displayed horizontally.

I don't know, as my iPad never succeeded in syncing with the keyboard. My daughter has gotten used to using the iPad key on screen, so it isn't that big a deal. If it worked (and I have other bluetooth keyboards), you can type to the iPad from several feet away. It does not have to be physically in the case. The key board is fixed to a panel that can be moved wherever you want it.

The iPad sits in the case just like you see it in the picture. The case is a landscape case. It does not rotate to vertical. The keyboard will work with the iPad no matter which direction you hold the iPad, but if you hold it vertical, it cannot be in the case.

If I understand your question correctly the I pad does not need to be on the keyboard stand. You can have them separated and the bluetooth keyboard works fine. Works like any bluetooth keyboard that is hooked to a PC / MAC. Hope that helps.

I use an Apple Bluetooth keyboard that sits in front of the open case and has worked well for the past 2 years. If you are always using a keyboard with your iPad and carrying it around everywhere, you might do better with a combined case and keyboard rather than this case. I tend to use a keyboard only occasionally so having a slim case without the extra bulk make this case perfect for my needs. Hope this helps!

The keyboard cannot be removed as it is part of the case, but that has not been an issue. The case folds over in such a way that you can use the iPad without the keyboard too. I'm not sure about the other case that was selling for $70.

I have not tried. We use it with an original iPad and an iPad 4 both in an otter box. The original iPad is heavier and it does not stay in position as well. I just wonder if the extra weight of the keyboard would make it a little difficult.

If the keyboard is wireless and connected by Bluetooth, you won't need to remove your iPad from the case. I sometimes use a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard by Mac, and the signal is flawless with the iPad inside its TwelveSouth cover. Also, you may type comfortably a few meters away from the iPad when using a wireless, Bluetooth keyboard; there is no need to tuck it into the case. I doubt a keyboard would fit in there, anyway; the case is tailored for the iPad only.
