Can we reattach the keyboard once detached

Yes. The iPad fits into a pouch like thing and closes like an old school sandwich bag. Not a zip lock, but with a flap that tucks it in.

Absolutely. It can come off in a couple of ways. The "clasp" that can be left with the ipad to act as an easel, or the entire clasp portion can be removed from the ipad and keyboard to be used separately. Quite convenient. I often use just the ipad in its case without the keyboard attached when necessary.

The keyboard is magnetic, so you can either leave it attached to the case and close it, or you can remove the keyboard completely. However, there is not a separate case for the keyboard if that's what you're asking.

I personally haven't tried this but the owner's manual or HP's FAQ at their site will probably help. Typically, this is accomplished by opening a door on the underside of the laptop, or, by removing the keyboard. This is my first HP so I'm not familiar with their procedure. The other laptop PC style computers I owned required me to remove the keyboard. Two of the keys are removed to expose clips which are easy to pinch allowing keyboard removal.Sorry I couldn't provide more help.

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.

Yes. In fact, After I bought it and was using it, I thought I broke it. It is attached to the case by magnets. I did not know this and when it came loose, I thought I had broken it. But it just snaps right back in place. Some times I use the case because it has a built in stand, and just detatch the keyboard so I can sit back.

You can replace just the keyboard, but it's not a simple task. You will basically have to take out every component in your laptop to get to the keyboard. I think the official Apple genius/repair stance is that you don't replace just the keyboard, you replace the entire top case. But it is possible to replace just the keyboard.

The keyboard attaches magnetically and comes off as a unit, leaving the tablet in the case. It reattaches just as easily. Removing the keyboard also lightens the load for traveling and there's one less thing to charge. I've done that when I don't anticipate a lot of typing.

Yes, it is detachable. I put my keyboard away when I don't want to use it. Then I just use the case to keep my tablet protected. I really like it.

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

Yes, it closes perfectly with the keyboard attached. No need to detach it at all.

No, you have to remove it when you connect to the keyboard. It is fast and easy but it has to be done each time.

It doesn't detach, the keyboard is the cover that rest closed onto the screen. It is magnetic so when you close it the iPad turns off, just like the simple cover.

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.

If your detach the keyboard from the arm there is nothing to close. The keyboard is a one piece unit unlike the iPad part of the case that can be removed from its enclosure. If you detach the keyboard from the iPad you'll have a durable half case for the iPad with a built in screen protector. I hope this answers your question

The keyboard is magnetic, so all you do is lift it off (the entire piece, including the wrist rest, not just the keyboard itself).

I can't tell for sure if you can or cannot, but I had to ship mine to them to get it fixed. It took so long that I had to buy another keyboard. It's been working fine since I got it back. I'd say send it to them just so you are covered in case it never works again. I believe if you try fixing it, you may be stuck with a broken item that cannot be returned because you tempered with it. Just my $0.02 :)
