Can you fold the case back so that you can just use the ipad in touchscreen mode without having to remove the ipad from the case?

Yes, the case can be folded back to use the iPad as a tablet without removing it from the case. Overall, this is an excellent case and provides convenience as well as security and protection for your iPad. I highly recommend it.

Just need to make sure the keyboard is off otherwise you will hold it touching the keys and this interferes with using the ipad

No problem doing that in fact you don't have to remove the Ipad to do anything, photos, facetime, videos, charging the Ipad. It also it's nicely padded and really protects the Ipad.

Yes, but you have to shut off Bluetooth for the screen key pad to work then. Works good folded back.

You are correct, you can't fold the keyboard back, you would just remove it.

Yes. I fold the front back flat against the backside of the cover when I am using my iPad.

I have never detached mine...there isn't really a reason to because you can use it 3 ways...like a laptop, just flat, or you can hold it to take pictures without removing the iPad from its case. Hope this helps! I absolutely love mine. I cannot think of a better case for an iPad.

No, the iPad snaps into the back piece, but when folded -the keyboard piece will close into the screen for protection

I haven't tried that, but I wouldn't think so. The case fits tightly around the iPad.

You can't remove the keyboard, you can fold it back but it doesn't fold back flat :)

You can fold it back if you don't want to use it. I read books with the keyboard folded back.

Yes, you can fold it back, but it doesn't fold back completely, it is kind of awkward.

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!

The keyboard cannot be removed as it is part of the case, but that has not been an issue. The case folds over in such a way that you can use the iPad without the keyboard too. I'm not sure about the other case that was selling for $70.

If you remove the keyboard you will not be able to have the iPad remain at a viewing angle. It would simply lie flat at that point.

No, the iPad sleeve folds away from the keyboard and faces the portfolio side which holds business cards, note pad, etc. The instructions are not clear in that regard.

No. You only have to gently pull the iPad from the magnetic hinge to use by itself

You can remove the keyboard and keyboard arm easily so that the iPad can be used independently of the keyboard. The hard plastic case remains on the back of the iPad and there is a screen protector on the front.

Yes, the front cover can be folded all the way behind the iPad. You cAn even use the little magnetic tab to hold it in place

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.
