Does it stand well in the vertical/portrait position?

It is not designed to stand in the vertical position. In portrait/landscape position it holds fairly well but it doesn't lock in solidly so a wobbly table or well placed bump may possibly destabilize it. Also the angle is not the best for viewing on average table heights. Lower heights will give better angle.

I saw your question and am using mine now, it works well in either position. I usually use mine in the horizontal, which stays upright just great.

Yes, it has a portrait angle it just is not set up as a stand. There is a band that holds the tablet in place and you can use the palm band on the reverse side. Look in the picture on the top right.

It can stand in vertical position but there is no angle what so ever so it stands straight up and down only, not really conducive to typing. Works great in horizontal position though. Has 2 different angles when in horizontal mode.

Not sure why the three below are having issues. Both of the cases I have will stand up in Landscape and the Portrait position. Just make sure the kickstand is all the way out.

I actually discovered after my initial reply that it can be used either horizontally or vertically. It's a great case....you should go for it.

Yes it will stand in a portrait position so you can set it down and view; but it is not really stable enough to push the iPad unless you hold the iPad with your other hand.

Unfortunatly, no. :( It will just stand horizontally.Well, I guess you kind of can, but it does lean back pretty far and is kind of wobbly - like a 45 degree angle. I would like to Facetime with it vertical, but it leans back just too far to do that.

No, it does not. Also, the kick stand is only functional in the landscape position, no kickstand for portrait.

Yes, it does. I use use the horizontal mode but it will work vertical, also.

It seems to stand without any problem -- no sliding. There are three ridges allowing for three different angles.

It's my experience that the stand is unstable in the portrait position. The case itself is very functional in the portrait position.

No but you can stand it upright in portrait mode. I have had the case for over 6 months and wouldn't trade it for anything! I love it so much. Kids and I both usually hold or lay flat in portrait. Most of what we do is in landscape since the keyboard is easier to use that way. I highly recommend this case!!!

Does it work in portrait mode just for browsing web pages? If yes, I will use it with a VESA vertical stand.

Yes. It has little rubber nodules on 2 sides, so you can stand it vertically or horizontally. The power button is actually on top if you stand it vertically.

Nope. It's so tippy in portrait it was clearly not designed to be. But I'm pleased enough by the product in other ways so that its not a problem.

For the first 2 months I used it, I thought it did not (and I was upset). But actually, yesterday I was pressing the clip harder than usual, and the clip "clicked" into the base. I then realized it does have a stand! It really only works for landscape orientation though. p.s. I really am happy with this case overall.

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.
