can you rotate this so that the ipad will be face-up, parallel over a work surface?

Yes. You can position it so that the iPad is parallel with the floor face up or down. Literally you can position the device in ANY direction. I loved it so much that I bought one for my father for Christmas. I'm a dentist and use it over my patient's head with a pair of blue tooth headphones so they can watch TV or a movie while I work. They love it! The iPad is parallel to the floor at that point. You'll find so many other uses for it. Hope you enjoy!

Yes, with it standing straight up vertically the holder will rotate back or face up.

I haven't had an opportunity to try this yet. I found the base so heavy (which is good for stability) that it didn't suit my needs. I seem to recall you can do this with your iPad in portrait or landscape directions.

Yes, this is very possible. You will be able to position this is many many configurations. I tested the ability to rotate the iPad face-up, parallel over a work surface and it worked perfectly. The flexible arm is easy to adjust and the iPad holder is very secure. The only downside is that you will likely have to remove your iPad from its case in order to use it in the stand.

Hello Ana and thank you for your interest in our product, this specific item does allow for rotating and tilting 90 with the IPad encased. Please feel free to contact me for further assistance. Thanks again Andrea

If you mean vertical position as portrait then you can't do it.It is designed for landscape view only. This is not a cellphone or ipad were with one rotation of your hand you can view either. I like my viewsonic.

Yes you definitely can. The case that covers the iPad swivels 360 degrees and can fold flat over the keyboard.

Yes. It can hold the iPad vertical or horizontal. You can also adjust the angle so that you can get the image you want.

Yep. You can fold it flat behind, roll it to stand the iPad up more vertically or just prop it up to type on the screen.
1846274
Yes. It can rotate 360º along the plane of the screen (the only thing preventing rotation would be the cord).

Yes you can. It has it's own settings that pops up in the tray when it's connected, and it includes menu items for rotating the screen. I just tried it.

You could theoretically but it would not be great. Better to do that with an iPad. This stand is the worst I have bought. Basically drum hardware on a ridiculous base. Should have been a round flat base not 3 foot poles. It's a major design fail. I ended up just putting mine outside on my terrace to hold my laptop when using a projector outside.

The original stand does not allow that so if want to rotate change the stand hope this helps

No it is not. I had one of those that rotates vertically but it scratches the back of iPad Air.

Not the same as horizontally tilted at an angle as shown in the photo. The ipad cannot rotate in the case, so there is no way to prop it up vertically. You could stand the case on it's side, but your ipad would be completely vertical, not at an angle. If the other reviewer knows how to do it, please explain as I would like to know as well...

Yes, the base is wide enough to support an iPad in horizontal position; you might have to support the iPad slightly if you're interfacing a lot on the iPad perimeter.

If you push the top right corner, then the bottom left corner would have to come forward in order to flip anything over. That just doesn't happen with such deep grooves in the base. If anything, you'll just slide the stand back if you push too hard in landscape mode...or knock the whole thing over in portrait mode (and you'd *really* have to be abusive for that to happen).

In short, not safely. This folio is designed to open in landscape orientation. The hinge only rotates one way, making the whole thing open like a netbook or laptop. The iPad half of the case is attached to the keyboard along the entire spine, so to speak, so there is no other way to rotate the iPad so long as it is in the case. According to at least one online review, it is possible to take the iPad out of the case and lean it in portrait mode against the back of the folio when open. I can't imagine that the manufacturer would recommend doing so, especially since that would leave the iPad unsecured and the back of the case itself (the part designed to hold the iPad, not the keyboard) is just bendable plastic. To the best of my knowledge, the only keyboard folio that allows you to rotate the iPad in its case so you can type with the tablet in either orientation is the Versavu made by Targus. Just be sure to read the reviews on the latest model (for the iPad Air), as the quality of the materials looks and reportedly feels cheaper than previous incarnations. Some keyboard covers permit portrait orientation as well, though most not as well as landscape. This is likely due to the fact that the iPad has magnets along its long sides but not the short sides, so it cannot be secured magnetically in portrait mode.

The top flat portion is adjustable as are all of the joints shown. So you probably could, but you would need to secure the IPad so it wouldn't slide off when at that angle. There are better things I would say for an IPad. Such as http://www.amazon.com/IPEVO-Perch-Desktop-Stand-iPad/dp/B0068YRPDC And combined with a Bluetooth keyboard, you'd be in good shape

You can position the iPad in either portrait or landscape positions. I actually prefer the landscape as it makes it easier to use.
