Is there any protection for the back of the ipad and how does this affect the camera? I've had two cases/keyboards,but almost impossible to get the ipad out of the case.i

The logitech keypad when closed faces the iPad so it protects the glass and not the back of the iPad. When the keypad is separated from the iPad the iPad then sits in the notch of the keypad to act as a stand. It does not affect the camera if you are Skyping or Face Timing. Its not hard to separate the iPad from the keyboard to open it.

This model does not cover the back of the ipad - just the screen side when it is closed. ZAGG does make a model that has a similar keyboard along with a back cover. I purchased the other ZAGG (with back cover) and love it. I was not crazy about the the model you asked about. Hope this helps.

While I've heard that some people have difficulty removing it, I've found it to be not too difficult. This is what I do. Holding the iPad in portrait mode, I push off the upper right tab of the plastic case. This is rather easy to do. Then, I gradually push the cover's right edge off of the iPad, starting from the upper right side. About half way down, you'll feel the iPad pop off. Just make sure that any flex forced in the process is exerted on the plastic cover and not your iPad. Good luck.

The magnets on the Ipad hold the cover on but it does NOT have a latch or anything to keep the two sides together. As long as it is laying flat or you are hold it, no problem. I do love the keyboard!!

Yes and yes. I've taken video and pictures with the case on. And I have the iPad 2 :) great case!

Pictures in folio mode is a no go, but I don't have any problem with taking pictures with the keyboard out or just flapping down. Dropped it once, caught in mid air and folio popped oped and Ipad flew out onto the floor. Folio just protects from every day use but not hard use.

It doesn't encase the iPad. When it is closed, it covers the screen. The back of the iPad is still exposed. Have a look at the Belkin Ultimate if you want something more protective.

No problem with effecting the camera, and in fact, I think this case is the best ever! Protective and very secure for credit cards, etc. Highly recommended.

I struggled with this at first as well but it's actually simple. The back, solid portion just snaps on the back of your iPad and the soft, bendy cover with the metal bar/ magnet pops onto the left side first. If you notice there is a small 'hooked' part on the left side of the plastic back. Slide that between the magnet bar & flexible cover then pop your iPad in. It all stays together really well. Hope this helps

There IS a camera hole in the case and you can use the camera by unfolding the front cover to access the screen side of the IPad and then take a picture. Please note that if you fold the front cover over completely it will block the camera hole.

Maybe depending on how thick the case. If not I would suggest getting a skin for the back of your iPad to protect from scratching while you use the keyboard. I got the Luvvitt® SILVERBACK (TM) Protective Back Skin from Amazon and it goes on easy / protects while my cover is off. Hope that helps!

The keyboard connects via magnets in the side of the iPad, so I did have to stop using the case. However the keyboard leaves the back of the iPad exposed when closed, and the whole thing looked so dangerously fragile I bought a slip case to keep it in. I'd recommend that.

My iPad works great with my cover on it. I just fold it back behind on the stand, also my cover can easily be taken off. I have used it both ways without a problem. Hope this answers your question.

Dear Tigerman82, Overall I love this keyboard and have only 2 minor issues to report. The screen lock key is directly above the delete key and I occasionally hit it by accident. I don't think any key should be on the top right except delete... Also, the space key occasionally sticks in the depressed position. It still functions properly when touched, but it doesn't make the reassuring little click that tells my brain it is going to work. I do not know if this is a defect in just my model or in others too. It is rare anyway, and always pops back up eventually. There are so many wonderful aspects of this product that I don't worry too much about those issues. Number one on that list is how securely the keyboard attaches to the iPad in the closed position. I have never had it slip open or off by accident like similar products by Logitech and others I have used. The backlighting is extremely nice, and the battery lasts seemingly forever. As to your specific question about your screen protector and backing, I am unfamiliar with either product and therefore unable to answer without knowing the total added width they bring to your device. I can tell you that the slot on the top of the keyboard used to stand the device in while typing has some extra room... and I believe if your screen protector doesn't add more that a millimeter of width, it would still work. If it adds a little more than that, I believe it might work, but would stand in a more upright position (rather than the slightly tilted position it is designed to be in). Wider than that and you would have to prop up the device some other way, as it definitely would not fit, though the keyboard would of course still work. I do believe that you would still be able to use the device in its closed position, but can't say for sure. Hope that helps

Negative. The camera is covered up when locked onto the stand. So this is no good for that. If you're handy, you might be able to modify it to do that... but it it would involve cutting metal pieces off and installing some kind of jerry-rigged strap to hold the iPad in place. Or you can just punch a hole through the metal part that covers the camera.

It covers the back of the iPad. Doesn't cover the screen or the camera. Inexpensive protection... worth buying.

Best option is removing the glass. This allows the IR to work correctly, if there is glass infront of the camera it reflects back blinding your camera. Won't be as secure a case unfortunately.
