It may be mounted in any position, however you must be conscious of any obstructions that may hinder your ability to access the interior of the safe. you must also be able to comfortably access the key pad or fingerprint feature, depending on which model you purchase. The door is hinged approximately 1/4 in above the actual bottom of the safe so if it is mounted on a carpeted surface, there should be enough clearance for the door to operate correctly.

The door opens rather forcefully as it's spring loaded so it should pop open in any position as long as there's nothing obstructing the door.

It can be set up in any position, but the horizontal/traditional position is the best in my opinion to get access to the contents.

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 in any way - and its a high quality device and back lit and rechargeable. It holds onto the tablet quite firmly (so it can remain safe when vertical) this makes insertion and removal more difficult than say a normal cover. The keyboard is also heavy enough to stop the tablet toppling when the device is open, which increases the weight a little. If those two caveats are a deal breaker you might want to consider a Bluetooth keyboard such as the palm folding one and propping the tablet up on a pepper pot or similar when in restaurants etc. I do both. But as I say its a high quality device and I cannot imagine you would regret purchasing it. Not in any way - and its a high quality device and back lit and rechargeable.

I've only had this keyboard for a few weeks but I've used it plenty both on lap and table. On your lap it is stable do to the back it has this place where it magnetically sticks to the keyboard and once you put it there there thing that pops up that holds it in a certain angle and in place. But sadly it's just the one angle but it's the perfect angle. You wouldn't need to change it. It literally acts like a laptop (mini one) when you have it hooked up to this keyboard. I definitely prefer it over other types of keyboards.

It depends on where you mount the device. I mounted on the face of the dashboard and it works great. The whole idea with the sticky pad is so it gives you versatility mounting positions.

It can be mounted sticking straight up as seen in the product image, but the on-screen date-time etc. information printed on the video will be upside down. Also the device only rotates between two points at about 90 degrees so there's that to consider.

The mount and base are actually totally different. The mount is flexible and can be bent down flush to the base. You can twist the base to help "seal" it to a flat surface. I really like the flexibility when using the item on a flat surface area such as my work table.

This intent is to use an external keyboard such as a wireless with it. The angle of the keyboard would make it hard to use, but with the document holder you could not use the latptop keyboard. The document holder flips down, but would still be very difficult to use the keyboard.

The magnetic knife holder still needs to be mounted to something, as the magnet is only facing out/attracting things to it on the side where the knives and other metal objects go. Nice though though! At least that was my experience with it. I did not attempt to put it anything metal first. My guess, even if it did stick, it wouldn't stick enough to hold anything of great weight...ie. the reason for mounting it with screws. Enjoy! I've loved mine.

the thought of this scenario amuses me so much it makes me wonder if this question is a joke. :) i suppose there are us cases i have not considered. as noted int the image of the user, the laptop is open to an obtuse angle. if it is flipped around the laptop opening is mildly acute. this could make viewing the screen somewhat difficult if they were in a standing position right up to the keyboard. if they were standing a few feet back or were close but at a sitting level they should be fine for viewing but this would make using the keyboard somewhat difficult.

It has to be mounted vertically. There is no option for rotating the screen.

Larry, the pad is about an eighth of an inch thick (made of hard board - you cannot push a pin into it) and its plain. Since it's out of hard board, you cannot mount anything on it except for just laying something on it, unless you drill a hole through it. The pad is also plain, no slots, no mounting hole. Hope this help.

Hey Jim,My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

You can move it around from place to place and it doesn't become less sticky. That said, it isn't sticky enough. We have been fortunate enough to not have any bad incidents, but I have come into the office multiple times to find the mount on the ground. Granted, this is after some unknown, but likely long, amount of time sitting on the hall. But it's risky to stick your iPad on this thing and leave it unattended (or unheld). Because it might fall at any given time.

You can mount it any way you wish. Left, right, up. Just don't mount it down the paper will fall off :).

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.
