Can this be used without the hard case? Can the soft part be used as a standalone cover?

No, not really. Design wise the case has an almost square shaped hole in the back.So possibly yes but won't do much protecting.

It's meant to be used without a case. Cases also vary greatly in thickness. I wouldn't think so but I really wouldn't know without having your case and trying it. But again, it's made to fit without cases.

Great question. This case can be used without mounting hardware because of how closely the design wraps around the board.

There is a solid cover that also can be used as a stand. Very protective! The cover is the same material as the case.

Sure, you can leave your device in the case. My wife (it's her iPad) has a hard case with a fold back cover and it has no problems. I've propped my iPad with a soft leather case on it and it fits too, though I don't do the hours of drawing on the desk she does. She remains delighted with the desk.

Yes. I use it without a case and its a perfect fit. I've never tried it with a case though.

The case consists of 2 pieces. There is a back cover with frame that can be used as a stand-alone back cover. It attaches to the outer shell via magnets that acts as a front cover and a stand. You can see two separate pieces in some of the photos.

You would probably have to buy two... I had to settle for this combination because I ended up liking it more than a similar one that didn't have the green. I am not aware of the ability to choose hard cover color and soft cover separately.

I haven't used it with a hard case but when I use the MB air by itself and there is more than enough space left for a hard case.

Yes, Maureen, without any problem. You'll like using it that way OR with it tucked into the flap on the back cover. The Snugg gives you a variety of ways to use it and Njoy it. Thanks for asking. Kathy

I think that you are asking if this cover can be used and closed if you are using the optional detachable keyboard. Yes. This cover works great while the keyboard option is being utilized. This is how I use it since I really don't care for the on screen keyboards.I am really pleased with this cover, even more than the keyboard itself. The only knock I have against it is that it does not have a spot for items like thumb drives. Besides that, it is well designed and constructed. I have been very happy with it and would purchase this cover again.

You can. It's still easier to use outside of case. I bought it for when we went to beach to protect from the elements which it did.

If you are mounting it inside a cabinet you probably will want to use it without the cover. It can be mounted high enough for there to be drawers below it.

i cannot help directly answer your question - except to say i do not use a case - is it necessary? product looks too great to cover - lol - and performs perfectly!

My wife puts hers in it with the case on, but it is a very small case, mostly a decorative cover. I would think you would want to remove the case if it has any size.

well it comes with a cover if you want to save it....and i dont see why you can not use it out side, you can always cover it when you are done

I suppose it could be used without it's outside clear cover but I like to have that second covering. The grippy back part is not that grippy; in fact I have one of those helpers to hold your phone that affixes to the dashboard but it won't grip or stay on the pad. It is okay though, I love this indestructable cover; Body Glove Tough Suit is a perfect name for it.
