Kickstand seems to be problematic? Still an issue?

The stand on mine did break. It was replaced easily and hassle free. Overall I've been very pleased, but I do treat the stand gingerly.

The kickstand works great as long as you don't touch the iPad. It does fold up easily. Not good if you need to scroll on the screen.

Angelita: Thank you for your response. I have the Gladius for the iPad Air and never had any issues with the kickstand. In the case of the iPad Mini, it seems that many are reporting this issue. I'm looking at alternative cases now.

Yes it has a kickstand. One note, I notice that my clock runs fast! I thought these things were quartz controlled so that the time was accurate.

Because the kickstand thing in the bottom middle to keep it stable is not sturdy and wiggles around. If its on carpet, it seems like it doesn't move around as much because of the grip. I found that putting it on my hardwood floors, the shelf would wobble.

The kickstand snaps back into place and never interferes with the use of the phone. Hope this helps!

Most people here say the kickstand gets in the way, it should lie flat no problem if you remove the kickstand. I use mine with a mechanical arm and I removed the kickstand so I could use it. It comes off easy. Now, I can't guarantee it since there is no way I'm going to take it off my mechanical arm in order to test it. It took me way too much work to mount it in the first place, but I don't see any impediment to lying it flat if you remove the kickstand.

Yes. I initially bought this case because of the kickstand, but now I rarely ever use it. The case is one of the best I've used at this low of a price.

Yes. I bought it for my son, but saw it just yesterday on his nighstand and it was on the kickstand sideways.

Hello, I did not have any challenges. I have owned my stand now for eight months. Solid stand. what is the issue?

It does not have a kickstand, but rather a slot where you can insert a card (included), that works like a kickstand. I like it better because it doesn't add bulk to the case.

It attaches in the normal location for a kickstand. I had to modify mine by grinding off the two protrusions to allow the kickstand to fold to a 90 degree position.Then it works okay.

So far both blue and pink cases have withstood my monsters, kickstand is still totally intact. It works a lot better in landscape, it's a bit wobbly portrait but not sure if it's even designed to work portrait.

I haven't had any such issue. The only things I can think of are the obvious, like checking to make sure the stand is on a flat surface, shimming the feet as needed, trying to hear exactly where the rattling sound is coming from.

Greetings; my kickstand did was NOT shipped with the top plate! I purchased a separate plate for $1o. The picture CLEARLY has a top plate, but alas, none shipped. Also commented but never a word back from the seller. Take care turning corners with this style, as they will dig in and you will be thrown for a loss:(

Yes. Fits great. However...I open the kickstand like 50 times a day because I put my finger through it to hold it and text faster with one hand. Because of that the kickstand breaks like after a month or two. So since they are only $4, I order like 6 of them to last a year. But definitely order a few...they're inexpensive.

Using this in your lap is not ideal, but it is significantly better with the Elsse folio rather than using the surface without the case - mainly because the supporting triangle that is created by the Elsse folio has a bottom to it, while the 'kickstand' on the surface does not. It more or less just takes getting used to, finding the right balance and all.

The kickstand will support the weight of the tablet if left alone, but it's otherwise extremely flimsy. It looks like even moderate screen fingering could cause it to break it at the hinge, and the stand itself is made of very thin and flexible plastic.

no it is not. it is somewhat hard plastic two pieces and snaps together. the one your looking for that I found that is rubberized comes with a kickstand. it costs a little bit more but is made better.
