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

The case closes perfectly with the keyboard attached and with the black elastic band it keeps it closed with any problems. I am very satisfied with it. I ordered the purple one which is more of a plum color on the outside.

Well, yes as in it detaches from your iPad. It works with Bluetooth, so it doesn't plug directly into or draw power from your iPad. However the keyboard and case are one piece, that the iPad fits into. So you can't detach the keyboard and keep the iPad in the case, if that's what you meant.Hope this helped!

This keyboard is not detachable. It's in case forever ). I have not detachable one.

Yes but it isnt the most securest....slight movement of the keyboard at a certain point shuts off the keyboard.

If I understand you right, you basically want to know if the keyboard will stay attached and folded with the case closed. The answer is yes. You can keep it attached and folded up with the case closed.Edit:I misunderstood. The person below me is right. There is an elastic band that will hold the keyboard in place. The second to the last picture shows it with the keyboard folded and held with the elastic strap.This is a great case and I recommend it. Only issue is that the pen doesn't connect to the tablet magnetically anymore, but there is a clip on the pen and you can clip it to the case.

Yep, it does close with it. You may be able to see a little latch on the backside above the kickstand...that wraps around the tablet and keyboard and attaches to the other side of the case. Also the keyboard is magnetic so you can remove it if you want.

Yes, you do not need the keyboard, and remember it is attached magnetically so it pulls tight out.

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.

I don't know what do you mean by tablet guide. Nothing needs to be detached. You just sit the tablet down on the connector the keyboard has in the middle

It closes like a clam shell. The laptop can do all; however, I'm getting older and find the screen size a bit small. Consider buying a larger tablet. Also, I rarely use the tablet without the keyboard; which leads me to think a laptop is more functional.

Yup! It closes all the way. The material is really flat and it sticks well to the keyboard. And it's rubbery and easy to work with.

No. Keyboard has to be detached to put the tablet in the case. You can open the case and fold it back and attach the keyboard but you can't fold the case closed.

I wouldn't describe it as securely attached to the case when folded back. It's liable to pop off in that configuration and it isn't comfortable to hold in that setup. I actually don't recommend this keyboard/case combo. There are much better bluetooth keyboards out there (this keyboard is cramped and laid out really weird) and the case looks cheap. There are lots of other cases available and folding bluetooth keyboards offer a vastly superior typing experience.

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.

Yes, it closes beautifully and compactly with and without the keyboard. I just love this case! It's very stylish and durable. I've been using it for several months now and it is perfect to take to my clinical sites.

I don't use the keyboard. Case works find with or without keyboard. It will not come out, it has security straps on each corner.
