How does the case fold into a stand? My ipad mini is arriving this week but with the case empty it doent seem as it can be a stable stand.

It doesn't stand in the Portrait position which is what I wanted but thought I would give it a try. When the seams started to separate in less than a month I returned it for a higher quality case that allows the Portrait position. It did seem rather cheap quality to me. You get what u pay for.

I thought the same. But when you have the iPad in the case you will be able to have a more sturdy case when seating at the standing position. Hope it helps!

It's a stable stand and has all the functions of the Smart Cover. It also has a back peice that covers the back and won't scratch it believe me this was worth the money in MY OPINION RATHER THAN SPENDING 40-50 bucks on a Smart Cover

The ipad mini stands well on the horizontal position, it's great for watching movies or just to leave it like that standing. The vertical position less cool looking but is stable none the less. I had the same concerns as you, but I have had the case since june this year and it works fine.

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.

A rubber edge wraps around all four sides and rolls over the face to hold the iPad inside the case. My mini has fallen a couple of times from chair height onto unpadded carpet or a rug without any damage.

My kids have an iPad mini with armor (not Otterbox, but similar foam). It does not fit into the slot of the stand, but if the stand if vertical enough it can rest on it.

Yes, the stand will hold an iPad mini straddling halfway the bottom edges. Better proportions with full size, but would work for you!

Hi Doug, This "stand" does not retract or fold,hence it will not fit in a case. It is, however, very lightweight.

Typing, yes; reading and using? That depends. The stand is limited to one angle which is a bit steep for full upright lap use and just a tad shallow for fully reclined use, as far as I am concerned; I tend to not need the keyboard in bed and I just remove it. The iPad mini itself is pretty stable in the groove though; if you tilt it more than about 35 degrees backward or about 20 forward it will start to fall out. It's more steady than the larger iPad version physically because the mini center of mass is lower and it fits pretty snug in the groove.

I have a IPad mini also it works great. I originally bought a cover that Was fine for awhile but you couldn't prop it up or turn it. This works greatI hope this helps.

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

Nope, it's just a stand. And if your I Pad is in a case, like mine, the depth of the slit in the stand isn't that great. It will stand up but you have to balance it carefully and make sure it's secure. I still think it was worth it, tho. Hope this helps.

That I don't know for sure as I don't like the retina display so I searched for one without. It's just that the angleOf the top that you snap the iPad into does not adjust easily. The minis are the same size so I don't think the display type has anything to do with how the case performs..

It has a piece that is supposed to attach somehow to the case and work as a stand. I couldn't figure out how to use it. It is nothing like the stands available in some cases. If that is your biggest feature concerns. I would buy a different case. It had other better features such as being great combo of protection and slim design. My wife keeps it in here pocket with no problems. I definitely think it will with stand some drops.

I find the iPad needs to be bare to fit properly in the stand. The keyboard becomes your case.

You can always remove the mini iPad from the case. Why would you though? By rotating the mini iPad, you automatically have it in the vertical or horizontal position, in two definite positions in the vertical or horizontal. Hope this helps.

I wish I could answer your question with certainty. I do know that physically, the non-retina ipad mini is going to fit into this case, but being ever so slightly thinner it may not be held as well. If that were the case, one might be able to adjust the thickness with a couple sheets of paper placed behind the ipad mini. But that is at best, just a suggestion. On the other hand, it might be just fine without any tweaking. Good luck!

Yes the stand works in both directions- it is a "360 degree" case.As I've said before, looks very nice. Only thing negative is the iPad is not secure in the tray.You have to be careful when case is not closed; if tilt it too much, will come out of it.So for that reason, would wish it had (at least) security straps on corners.
