Is there a way to fold the case so the keyboard is out of the way if I just want to use the iPad?

Hi Caitlynyes it can be folded under the ipad. I find I hardly ever use the keyboard.good luck

You can. The one photo within the item listing showed the ipad on top of the keyboard. It doesn't sit flat flat due to the hinge mechanism. However it has been designed to not sit directly on the keys because of raised rubber stoppers. I feel like it works very well even of you're holding it more like a book. Hope this helps.

I just rotate my ipad and put it on top of the keyboard with the back of the ipad on top of the keyboard. It isn't flat but it works for me..

If you remove the keyboard you will not be able to have the iPad remain at a viewing angle. It would simply lie flat at that point.

The iPad slides into the opening for it and a strip of fabric folds behind it to keep it in place. It is a little snug, but the iPad fits and stays in place. The keyboard is held in its place by magnets but may also be removed and used in a more freestanding manner, such as on the user's lap, etc.

No. There IS a magnet in the keyboard groove to give the mating a slight *snap* into place, but it will disengage almost instantly if you pick it up by the iPad.

Check that last answer of mine. No, you can either fold the keyboard to the back of the iPad, or remove the iPad from the case. You can't separate the iPad from the keyboard without dismounting it from the case. If you choose to fold the keyboard to the back of the iPad, you must also switch off the keyboard or the Bluetooth, in order to use the pop up iOS keyboard.

You cannot fold it under the iPad but it detaches like the Smart Cover very easily for when you want to use the iPad on its own. To type you detach the magnetic cover and can place it in the keyboard slot horizontally or vertically as you like. I personally think this case is the best value for the money (and I've searched around a lot). This model from sharkk is also pretty new!

You do not have to move the keyboard at all. I typically do but not necessary. And it will nestle in that groove you see or stand up against the keyboard and it works fine. To me it is a solid case/keyboard combo. I had a belkin for my old iPad and this is better.

Only if you have a keyboard that you can fold in half . Otherwise, a regular keyboard, even one for iPad air will not. It may be possible that a keyboard made for iPad mini will fit.

Just place the back stand cover over the screen then fold the keyboard over that. It works perfect that way. Great product and value.

No. The iPad sits in a trough like groove in the keyboard and it is a static angle and a rigid structure. I have found this very nice as the whole thing does not flop flat or slide apart if I set it on my lap or move it around while using it.

Not really. The keyboard attaches just find with the cover on, however, when you separate the ipad mini and attempt to put it in the slot in the keyboard for use, the cover makes the mini too thick to fit in that slot and it keeps falling over. You can wedge it in for a while but it eventually wiggles loose and falls over. It's too bad 'cause it's a nice cover. Removing the cover each time you want to use the keyboard would be a hassle and likely stretch it out eventually.

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.

Absolutely. It can come off in a couple of ways. The "clasp" that can be left with the ipad to act as an easel, or the entire clasp portion can be removed from the ipad and keyboard to be used separately. Quite convenient. I often use just the ipad in its case without the keyboard attached when necessary.

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!

you can either fold the targus in half with key board on the table or lay it down but that puts your Ipad too far away from you. But I truly love the unit.

Yes you can, the middle section is flexible and you can just fold it back, good thing you can take the keyboard out also so it is more comfortable

You can leave the smart cover on, just put the ipad into the keyboard on it's right side. The smart cover won't quite close this way, but you can flop it over the back of the ipad and use the keyboard with no difficulty. I hadn't noticed this until you asked the question!
