If my kids want to use it as a tablet to play games, can I detatch the keyboard and put it aside?

Yes. You can place the tablet FAR from the keyboard and it still works fine. The blue tooth feature has great range
884295
yes. the tablet only rests in a slot on the keyboard, and you can operate the tablet from the keyboard lying nearby.

For what it's worth...I can also use this keyboard on my Galaxy Note 3 phone...being blue tooth.

Yes. It is a Bluetooth keyboard. Tablet will function normally without the keyboard.

Yes you can. Remember though that once the keyboard is attached the on-screen keyboard does not automatically appear. This is a great case and I highly recommend it as it allows full functionality.

Yes, the keyboard is entirely removable. It is held on by magnets, and can be removed and used a distance from the tablet since it's bluetooth.

No the keyboard can not be removed, the case and keyboard are one piece. The tablet fits snaps into the top part of the shell very firmly.

Yes. You can take it out of the case & use it like a regular tablet. The keyboard interface works really well but the keys are a little small if you're doing a lot of typing. You get used 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.

You can't remove the keyboard, you can fold it back but it doesn't fold back flat :)

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!

Cant answer that. My 2 kids watch TV on my pc monitor and the only advice I can give is keep everything away. I use a wireless mouse which I take and my keyboard is on a tray that tucks under. You may want to look into spillproof/liquid proof keyboards if you have no better options

Yes, you just use the USB port to connect the keyboard of your choice. But remember , this does not come with a stand to hold the tablet up. You will need a case for that.

Yes - if the pen is near the screen it will be the only input accepted. And if the keyboard is folded all the way around it will no longer accept input either - so you dont have to worry about bumping those while its in 'tablet mode.'

Yes you can remove the keyboard and there is no problem closing the case. But let me point this out as well After about 35 to 40 days the keyboard stopped working.And this was beyond the point where it could be returned or replaced, so I just bit the bullet and took the loss. When you make a brand new purchase you just expectthe item to last more that 35 to 40 days!

The keyboard is part of the case. The only way to remove the keyboard is to take the tablet out of the case.

The keyboard is magnetic, so you can either leave it attached to the case and close it, or you can remove the keyboard completely. However, there is not a separate case for the keyboard if that's what you're asking.

Yes, you can easily remove the keyboard, the quality of the keyboard is okay, not bad but not great. It is awkward to type on it. The best thing about this keyboard is the price, if I had to do it over again I think I would have gone with a more expensive and better quality keyboard, but it was what I could afford at the time.

You can but without the magnetic keyboard the auto power off feature doesn't work you need to manually put the tab to sleep otherwise it remains on even after the closure

Yes. Think of it as two computers in one. When you detatch (it completely detaches) the display part from the keyboard, its a Tablet, powered by a Android processor and operating system. And when attached to the keyboard (which is actually a computer on its own) you can either run it as a laptop running an Intel I5 or I7 Processor and windows 8 or 8.1 (the 8.1 upgrade is 100% free by the way), or run it in the same tablet mode (there is a button on the keyboard that lets you switch between Android mode or windows mode). The "Trio" part in the name comes from the fact that if you connect the keyboard to some other Display divice (such as a TV screen or desktop monitor), you can run the keyboard without the need for the display part...Essentually letting you use half as a tablet and the other half as a PC...Meaning you can have both the tablet and the Windows base part both working simultanious and speratly of each other. Pretty awesome computer really even for its price. Just be sure to take care of it and not drop it, like it did mine. :/
