Can you still use this case with the tablet in place in the Portrait orientation or Only in Landscape with the keyboard?

Don't know? never used it because case does not hold tablet securely. Only way could possible keep from slipping out is to Velcro or double side tape it in.

You can use it either way, however, it is out of the case, and just leaning up on it, to use it in Portrait. Landscape is the 'natural' if that makes sense!

Yes, it will work with both orientations; but the "Auto-rotate" setting must be enabled. To confirm this, follow these steps: Tap "Settings" on the main screen, Tap "Display", andMake sure there is a check beside "Auto-rotate".

Landscape only. Keyboard is same size as tablet and case holds tablet in landscape too. You can still turn to portrait and use touch screen.

No, this is a great case but you cannot use the kickstand or keyboard with it. The ports are all use-able with it however.

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.

Yes. I use it in both position. Just make sure it's nice and tight in the portrait position so the tablet doesn't slip down ;)

Bill,Yes, the devicewear supports having the iPad in both the landscape and upright portrait positions... Very solid grooves in the bottom flap to keep the iPad sturdy in both positions... Was one of the major reasons I selected the devicewear... It's a great product, you won't be disappointed... Best regards, Mark

I was unable to use the keyboard with the tablet while in the case. I returned the case as I like to have the keyboard access all the time.

Landscape without keyboard is still very sturdy and works well. Portrait I don't think was intended due to how the stand works but, it can be done with stand just not as sturdy as the intended landscape. Also without the keyboard you can fold the case back to hold it in your hand comfortably if you choose to not use the stand.

Yes you can. The casing for the entire keyboard and iPad mini case are durable and smooth. You can fold it over and still use the iPad or you can set it up for Landscape mode or portrait and use 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.

Can the case be used in a position where the longer side of the triangle is facing down (as to facilitate typing)? I only saw a picture on Amazon where the tablet is standing up.Thanks,Rod.

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

Propping up the tablet in horizontal mode works "so-so" with this case cover.Putting the tablet in portrait mode works too but the unit is able to stand up on its own because it has been propped up in a "V" pattern. (Take a book and open it up to the middle page and set it on the table-now you get idea)

It does not have the ability to be in portrait mode. The stand will not stay up on its side and the slot the tablet fits in is designed for landscape. It is a great stand though.

No. The kickstand on the folio leans the surface less than the two-way kickstand on the Surface itself. The folio kickstand is perfectly useable for use with the keyboard attached. I only use the folio when traveling to protect the Surface.

I place the tablet in the landscape position and it holds fine. I use it extensively for drafting papers and then send them to my laptop via drop box for final editing. It is not a Laptop keyboard, but it is easier to carry and like someone else noted turns the tablet into a net book.

I use it with a new iPad (10") in an Otterbox Defender case. I can put it in either way. I can have the tablet in a landscape orientation and have the clamps top and bottom on the long sides of the tablet or put it in in portrait orientation and have the clamps top and bottom on the short sides. The clamps work best holding the top and bottom edges of the tablet in my opinion, but being adjustble you can decide which way you like to orientate it.

The key pad is designed for landscape use, so using it in portrait mode makes no sense. This is not really a cover, it is a keyboard that snaps onto the ipad and is hinged to closed over the display. The back of the Ipad is not covered. It does work great.
