Is the keyboard actually able to be removed with ease and not make the case awkward? How was the quality of the keyboard?

Yes, you can easily remove the keyboard, the quality of the keyboard is okay, not bad but not great. It is awkward to type on it. The best thing about this keyboard is the price, if I had to do it over again I think I would have gone with a more expensive and better quality keyboard, but it was what I could afford at the time.

The keyboard comes with the case and it's apart from it . So yes, it's easy to remove. The quality of the keyboard is good. I don't think you will regret it.

The keyboard is not removable from the case. Sorry, not familiar with the $70 KB you refer to so can't help on Q 2.

It is magentic. Nothing to keep it closed when keyboard is not attached. However, it will not slip out if that is what you are afraid of. I highly recommend this case. I love mine and everyone who has seen it admires it as well.

The keyboard is integrated into the case itself. It is not removable from the case.

Yes you can remove the keyboard and there is no problem closing the case. But let me point this out as well After about 35 to 40 days the keyboard stopped working.And this was beyond the point where it could be returned or replaced, so I just bit the bullet and took the loss. When you make a brand new purchase you just expectthe item to last more that 35 to 40 days!

I've been using it for months and it doesn't easily come off. It may be a little awkward putting it on at first, but just make sure you cover the keys completely and it will fit perfectly. Also, it won't come off unless you lift it up but if i simply hold my laptop upside down, it stays in tact and doesn't move at all!

Yes, and I don't find it bulky at all. Considering there is a keyboard attached, I think it's more slender than other keyboard cases I've seen/tried.

Yes, the keyboard is detachable. It is held in place with magnets and easily removed if you want to use the case alone.

The keyboard is retained by magnets into the "flap" of the case. I just opened the case and the and allowed it to dangle free and the Keyboard remained in place. However I use the keyboard removed from the case totally. So no, on mine at least it will not fall off and yes it detaches without removal of the entire case. Its a good system.

Can you pry the keyboard from the enclosing case? I don't know? I've never felt the need to try. You aren't limited in any by having it in the case as the iPad slips into and out of the enclosure very easily?

You can not remove the keyboard from the case. As light as it is though, it's not too bulky when flipping the keyboard back to just use the ipad mini by itself.

No the keyboard is not removeable. You can take it out but then you have to figure out how to tape or glue it back in otherwise it falls out.

yes it does come off, and actually a little easier than I like. It's just anchored by a couple of tabs that fit in 2 slots and it's plastic so it could be a little sturdier. Hope this helps. Otherwise, it's a great keyboard for the money

Yes it attaches by magnets so its easily removed and reattached. The magnets are stronger than you think to, so the keyboard won't fall off.

Yes, I purchased this case about a week ago and since the bottom of the tablet can be removed without removing the top clips, you can attach the keyboard without removing the case which is a great improvement over the other 2 cases I purchased for this tablet.

If you feel comfortable workign with Delicate parts and removing the keyboard it is not too bad. There is a great U Tube video that walks you through it. If you are not handy is Not Easy

The keyboard is attached to the case with velcro. It easily detaches. it didn't didn't damage th phone but I used a screen protector. The phone stand was okay. I don't use this anymore. It's too uncomfortable and makes the phone case too thick. The keyboard on the phone it better and easier to use.
