What keeps the case containing the iPad up while the keyboard is in place? Magnets? Velcro?

The iPad balances, essentially, from the arching back-fold of the case, while being wedged between the keyboard. You may also fold over the outside flap to keep it up. There are no devices that keep it up such as magnets or Velcro straps. (But the keyboard is held with magnets, as the iPad is bound with Velcro.)

When the keyboard is in place, there is a small indentation above the keyboard that holds the ipad in place in order for it to stand.

This case had small straps that went around the ipad to keep it in place. They aren't too stretch but are pretty tight to hold the ipad still.

The iPad slides into the opening for it and a strip of fabric folds behind it to keep it in place. It is a little snug, but the iPad fits and stays in place. The keyboard is held in its place by magnets but may also be removed and used in a more freestanding manner, such as on the user's lap, etc.

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.

It is a clamshell design. Keyboard on one side and ipad snapped into the other side. When clamshell is closed, there is protection.

The magnets turn the screen on and off as they should, and the case is held shut with an elastic strap. It's very secure. I've had a similar case on another iPad for more than a year now with no issues.

Yes , the keyboard stays inside thanks to a light magnet of some kind , you will not be disappointed

Actually there is a support tab, in the center top of the keyboard with the upside down Zagg, lift and unfold it, it secures with 2 little pins on the side. The iPad fit in the slot and is supported by the tab, when done, fold it back. I hope this helps

I've had my case for three months now and have never had the iPad slip back on the case. The magnet that holds the iPad up on the keyboard is so strong that I can actually hold the iPad by the screen and lift it, without the keyboard falling off.

I haven't found any magnets. It uses a band to keep closed, and a snap to keep together. There is velcro to keep the tablet in the slot. That's all of the fasteners.

As Kim wrote, the keyboard is not cemented--but magnetized--to the folio cover. Simply slide the keyboard along the cover or remove it from the cover (and use the keyboard on your lap) so that you can adjust the iPad's angle anywhere you like along the cover's interior. The friction between the folio cover's microfiber interior and the edges of the rubberized plastic iPad tray prevent the iPad from falling.

I'm not sure I understand your question. The magnets only function is to keep the cover closed. You can put your arm through the strap and the iPad will just dangle. The iPad is held in the case with Velcro and is very sturdy in there. Hope this helps.

The only thing I can think of is to remove any external covering. I had a protective coveand case and had to remove it for the keyboard to work. Also, I use a double stick tape under the front pads. This was not necessary but provided stablization.

The keyboard is held in with magnets and slides right off when not needed. The tablet slips in and is Velcro strapped in. I bought this for my 15 yo son and he loves it. He says it works great.

The magnet is helpful. It keeps the case/cover from flapping around and opening.

Not exactly sure what you mean. The iPad is enclosed in the case (like my iPhone is in an Otterbox- it is not meant to be removed regularly), then this whole case connects to the keyboard via the metal strip.

The keyboard is held on with magnets and comes off easily. With it off, the case is nice and thin and works fine. The keyboards I got each had a missing key, but aside from that seems fine.

You have to use the slot. The keyboard only has magnetic connection to keep it with the ipad, there is nothing in the hinges that locks it to the ipad to hold it up

It is a magnetic closure if the keyboard is connected, but there isn't anything to keep it closed if the keyboard is not attached. I agree that the case is great - I have had no complaints so far. I get a ton of compliments!
