Can I switch between portrait and landscape without loosening anything? I'm a fiddler, so I need to do this easily with one hand.Also, anyone used this with iPad Air?Thanks.

You do have to loosen the locking device that attaches the tablet bracket to the mic stand attachment, and the same would hold true for the table top bracket, but it can be done with one hand. GL

If you leave the tension very loose you can rotate. I play violin and use it all the time but fail to see the need for switching. I prefer keeping minw tight so it won't rotate.

You do have to loosen a locking ring. GREAT Pad holder, tho. I'm using it with a Le Pan II Clone.

They suggest you loosen the yellow sprocket but I can easily move from portrait/landscape by just twisting it. This holder is very flexible size-wise.

Yes I use it with a iPad 3 in landscape mode all the time. In fact that's how I type on it and set up for my alarm clock. It works great with iPads and is light enough to put in your travel pack

Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while. As much as the "visual" design is beautiful, unfortunately, the "functional" design has issues ... All related to one area ... The tightening screw on the back, which is supposed to keep the desires position of the stand "locked in"Unfortunately, the screw mechanism is not built well. If you tighten too much, it will break, if you don't, then after one or two 'put in/take out' visits by your iPad, it all gets loose and wobbly. So for your proposed usage area, I think this piece might be a bit fickle and sensitive to touch. Mine is for home use, so it meets my needs. But you might need something more rigid that holds the iPad more strongly. Just trying to give an honest feedback. Hi Ann,I've had mine for quite a while.

yes, you can use both formats without undoing screws. You will need to undo screws only if you are taking your ipad out.

My co-worker has the case you mention. I own this one (but I don't use it, I prefer to use the Apple Smart Cover). I can't say much about the case you mentioned, but I know Steve loves it and uses it in portrait and landscape mode all the time at his desk. The material on his case is much better than the one on this case. More like leather if you ask me. Perhaps I can tell you why I don't use this case. I bought this for the portrait mode, thinking I would use it. But the grooves are not deep enough for the iPad to stand up reliably. Plus I don't often use portrait mode, so it ended up being just a cover lid for me, so I went back to the Smart Case because it was a lighter formfactor. Again, I don't know anything super specific such as weight, fit, hold, or even price. But I would say the other case is a better deal because if you're like Steve you'd be using it instead of letting it collect dust.

It is not easy to re-orient the Flashbender from landscape to portrait mode on the flash unit because it held on by an elastic strap with a Velcro fastener. I am not sure this is a bit issue if you are using the Small version of Flashbender with its optional diffuser overlay. The diffuser overlay has a lid that folds over and has button snaps to hold it in place . In addition it has silver reflection material so that the flash unit light is bounced down onto the Flashbender and forward.

Yes, you can use it either way...but you have to have it in landscape when you use the keyboard....

Portrait position question- The clips are stationary to fit the ipad in landscape position. The clips/magnets are super strong and hold really well. I LOVED mine so much that I went back and bought one for my Ipad- mini too! (And, when you close it- it goes to sleep saving your battery!) A great product!

You can use it either way, however, it is out of the case, and just leaning up on it, to use it in Portrait. Landscape is the 'natural' if that makes sense!

Yes, you can rotate from landscape to portrait. the stand has proven to be very stable.

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.

No, I never tried using it in the landscape position. I use it for documents (portrait)

It does with my new iPad 3rd gen - carefully! Hold it landscape position, main button on your left, slide it fully down under the lower corner cleats, then snap the two upper corners. It is so close that I had wondered if a careful hair dryer heating might be necessary, but it holds!

I'm just an end-user here, but... It looks exactly like the picture shows. The keyboard is integrated into the iPad cover/case. You can remove the keyboard from the cover, but I never do. The nice thing about this iPad case/cover is that you can rotate the iPad for either portrait or landscape mode. The bad thing is that in portrait mode, the iPad tends to flop backwards more often that the previous version of the VersaVu. But, this is the only keyboard and case unit that does the rotate thing, as far as I know.

Works okay in portrait, but I've only used it that way a couple of times (I would be worried about wearing out the velcro by repeatedly switching it.)

No problem. I use it landscape mode and portrait mode. In fact, I use it landscape the most. If I needcto charge my unit, I use portrait so the plug is free! Best lap support I have found. I wish it came with a light and a hookup for earbuds. Not complaining, just sharingvidea.

Did you Tap the screen and then hold it and drag you finger in direction you wanted to move it. This could take a couple of times and getting use to. A little move of finger is a big move.
