Does it come apart easily? In other words, can I separate the Ipad mini from the keyboard to hold it like a tablet while leaving the case on 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.

It's a pretty snug fit, you have to really get in there with your finger to separate them, but, yes, it is easy to accomplish this, at least for my manly hands ;-)

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.

Yes. The keyboard attaches to the case by magnate, so it doesn't fall off. The case can be easily used with or without the keyboard. It closes securely either way.

It's not separate from the case, there IS a casing, but it's attached, really well. No worry that it will come apart from the case itself

The keyboard doesn't remove, to be without the keyboard you have to take the iPad out of the case to use it or purchase a case that does not have the keyboard

Yes, you can close the case without removing the keyboard. It has worked pretty good.Good protection. Key board bluetooth working.I like it and it was reasonably priced.DS

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.

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.

No the keyboard can not be detached, and it has some weight not too much though the other keyboard I compared in my review is lighter and detachable as well as cheaper and it's not bad either personally I just like this one better but I use both.

This keyboard case is for the iPad Air. Its both the keyboard and a iPad case that holds and fully protects the iPad AIR. The case and keyboard do not come apart. We may be releasing a model where they do come apart in about 1 month.

Yes the keyboard detaches from the iPad and can be removed from the cover. I have had mine for about four weeks and have only charged it once. I have used it everyday since receiving it.

Can you pry the keyboard from the enclosing case? I don't know? I've never felt the need to try. You aren't limited in any by having it in the case as the iPad slips into and out of the enclosure very easily?

It doesn't come apart. It folds down; the parts fit into each other when folded. It only fits in the case when it is completelyfolded.

Absolutly NOT!!! I love my case with the keyboard and so my daughter. This is a very excellent product. So why take it out???

Yes you can easily remove the keyboard without taking the case off. Its designed to be that way.

Yes, it detaches easily. I use my Ipad mini in both landscape and portrait in the case.

I assume you mean "get the iPad out of the case" which is easy to do without effort. You'll be disappointed in the keyboard. I returned mine....it's cheap and fragile.
