Is the keyboard detachable?

It's magnetic...so it comes right off. It actually comes off a little too easy if it gets jarred, in my opinion.

It says in the description not detachable and all these answers say detachable? -mine doesn't seem to be detachable.

Yes it is. It doesn't look like anything is missing when detached though. They did an excellent job on the design.

Not really. Though it seems to be pretty stable, the magnetic bar that attaches is probably not strong enough to hold securely. I just tried it and it does hold, but I'd recommend separating it and not use it attached.BTW, the keyboard works great.

Yes you can easily remove the keyboard without taking the case off. Its designed to be that way.

No the face is not detachable, but you can detach the keypad to make it 'unusable'.

The keyboard is removable and stays in place by magnets. Therefore you can take it off and leave behind if you don't want to use it at any time.

No (which is one reason why I don't use it very much). For a very similar keyboard/case combo where the case *is* detachable check out the New Trent Rugged Airbender case:iPad mini Keyboard Case, New Trent NT31B Airbender Mini Rugged Splash Resistant Dirt and Shockproof Wireless Bluetooth iPad mini Keyboard Case with Built-in Screen Protector for iPad mini 1 2 3 Only

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

No, it isn't. I also don't use the pull out for the keyboard, it makes me too far away from the computer and I can't read the screen.

The keyboard is attached to the case with velcro. It easily detaches. it didn't didn't damage th phone but I used a screen protector. The phone stand was okay. I don't use this anymore. It's too uncomfortable and makes the phone case too thick. The keyboard on the phone it better and easier to use.

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.

yes, and the keyboard is removable. I ordered two of them and the people on my team who use them love them!

You can't remove the keyboard but you can fold it back when it's not being used!

No, the keyboard is not removable. With me, that has not been a problem. It does not interfere with operation.

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.
