Can the targets viewscape hold the iPad mini in a portrait as well as landscape position

Yes, but not securely. The device slides off the ridges in both positions. I have tried several "fixes" (dried hot glue dots, rubber bands, etc.) with no success. I would not purchase this model again.

No it doesn't change on the fly from landscape to portrait, you would have to unscrew it and remount it in the position you would like.

You can use it either way, however, it is out of the case, and just leaning up on it, to use it in Portrait. Landscape is the 'natural' if that makes sense!

I use it all of the time with my regular ipad full size in case. It is too heavy to remain in portrait position but it works fine in landscape. I have learned to position the angle so that the handlebar provides some stability. I would predict it would work fine with the iPad air. Definitely with the money.

The short answer is no. In fact you can, but it won't work well. In 'portrait', i.e. long side vertical, the device is rock solid. The device does swivel, so you can rotate the phone to 'landscape', but it uses a tightening screw on the back that becomes easily loose if you either swivel the phone back and forth or with prolonged 'landscape' usage. I tested it for about a week, and what happens is after a while the phone swivels on its own, counterclockwise (so the top of the phone points downwards). To fix, you have to reach behind and painstakingly tighten that screw. It's too fiddly for me.

Nancy, I wouldn't trust it to handle an iPad in portrait position. It has a release system that allows the user to remove the iPad holding assembly from the arm and gravity holds it in place. It simply involves pegs sliding into slots and then pushing it down to the bottom of the slot. While it works perfectly for landscape positioning, it might be tempted to slip out of the slots as gravity might work against it at the wrong angle.In summary, no, I would not recommend holding a precious iPad in portrait mode with this unit.

Landscape works beautifully with this case, but it is not really portrait friendly. I am delighted with the case, as I rarely have a reason to use the portrait position.

Yes as it will hold the ipad in portrait of landscap positions. I am at work and can't see it now but I "THINK" it has an opening in teh bottom where the ipad would rest so that even in the portrait position it can be plugged in. When I get home this evening I will look for you and confirm the latter. I use it on my coffee table in landscape mode all the time as my 1st gen iPad has become the defacto remote control in my stereo system. Hope this helped.

Hi Kelly, The X10F can't be physically displayed in portrait. The stand will only facilitate landscape.

I use it primarily for my iPhone 6+. I tested it with my iPad and setting it on the stand in Landscape works fine. It's slightly unstable in Portrait mode but still very usable. One just has to be careful not to press the screen too hard at the top when in Portrait mode.

You can position the iPad in either portrait or landscape positions. I actually prefer the landscape as it makes it easier to use.

Well yes and no as long as you only want to use your Air in Portrait or vertical position it will work. but for Landscape the ledge it sits in will obscure a small amount of the screen.

This model is for the first generation iPad mini, I like it but can be used stationary. Image does not stabilize when hand held.

It works best in landscape mode as it is a perfect fit but it will work in portrait as well.

I would also be interested to know if you can dock the iPad in landscape mode

It's not designed to stand up in portrait mode, but it technically can be done. The screen will be completely vertical and you might knock it over while trying to use the touchscreen.

Bill,Yes, the devicewear supports having the iPad in both the landscape and upright portrait positions... Very solid grooves in the bottom flap to keep the iPad sturdy in both positions... Was one of the major reasons I selected the devicewear... It's a great product, you won't be disappointed... Best regards, Mark
