Does this cover fold all the way back to enable the opened ipad to lay 100% flat?

Yes, it does. Just guarantee that the corners will start falling apart within the first week or two of use.

The cover does not fold properly and is coming apart. I wouldnt purchase this. I am buying a new one and returning this one because it is designed poorly.

If you mean can it be folded for it to rest on flat, yes. If you mean for it to be used as a stand, it cannot. However the ipad rests length or width wise up in the keyboard acting like a stand which is nice.

Yes, you can fold the cover back very easily. I use it that way most of the time. There is no excess bulk at all and it feels very comfortable.

Yes, but the best way to do it is NOT how it's pictured. Instead of using the edges as the legs facing towards your lap, fold it so the legs face towards you and allow the middle section (the part that normally allows the iPad to rest against it) to rest on your lap. Much more stable and more comfortable!

Yes it does. The "hinge" fold (for lack of a better word) makes the flap lie completely flat against the back of the phone.

The cover doesn't lay completely flat when sitting on a surface. However, it serves the purpose. I have been using this cover for almost a year now and always flip it back or hold it like a book when I use my iPad. I am very happy with the purchase and glad that I got it. It is much cheaper than the Apple cover and is well worth the price.

Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen. And there aren't ever any creases that develop since the flap is made to fold in pretty much every direction. And because of the magnets, the flap with actually stay flat on the back even when you're not holding it down and will stay like that until you actually try to fold it back over to the front (You know how with paperbacks, when the pages you had folded back would just flop back to the front the moment you don't hold them back anymore but then they don't actually "close" all the way because now the pages are bent? Yeah, this cover will NOT do that). Hope that helps ^_^ Absolutely! It can fold all the way back just as flat and naturally as it is when folded over the front screen.

Yes it folds completely flat or can be tucked under a tab to act as an stand.

Yes, it can fold all the wy back...and a little bonus, the little flap that folds over when the tablet cover is closed holds it in place when you open it all the way up with the front jacket flipped behind.

I'm assuming that this is virtually the same as the one for the original iPad mini. If so, then yes, it does fold around so that the keyboard part is directly behind the iPad. If you do this, you may find that you want to turn off the keyboard, as that will put the keys where your fingers will be holding the cover, and you will unintentionally type. Or you could just remove the keyboard while holding the iPad this way.

the flap does not fold completely flat. the flap has a crease about an inch and a half in from the spine. when folded back, the spine also folds back. So there is an angle from the spine down to the crease. As a result about 2/3 of the flap folds flat. If you're right handed it's basically flat. If you're left handed, there's like a half inch extra thickness as it angles down from the folded back spine. The magnets do nothing to hold the flap when folded back. They only hold the flap when closed. The also trigger the auto sleep mode when closed. Not the best case if you're concerned about bulk but your tablet definitely won't fall out. Holds it very sung for sure.

Yes, the cover does fold back on itself and it's easy to hold in that position. It's light weight and I like the brown color I got.
