Can the case stand in the portrait position with the tablet in it?

Yes, but only in the straight upright position. It's not designed for this angle, but if you open the cover halfway, it will stay up. Mostly.

No. Well, it could stand perpendicular to the surface, not very stable, but that probably isn't what you mean.

I guess you would have to take the table out in order to set in portrait position but I never really find a need to do this. I like this case. It works well for my purposes. I like to read in bed which this case is well suited for due to the hand strap. Very compact too.

It is a solid case, however it will not "solidly" stand in a vertical position. You would need to open the cover and balance it to accomplish the vertical position.

Yes, it can use this and a separate case or stand. There is a 1CM holder to fixed Bluetooth Keyboard and your tablet. Its simple yet innovative hinge provides multiple angles for viewing and typing in both portrait and landscape mode. Thanks for your nice inquiry.

It stands up in portrait mode as well. Just like a hard cover/copy book. It's a great case, my 1st case & I Love it.

Sort of. As the other answers note, while the tablet is installed in the cover, portrait mode isn't an option. But I just uploaded a photo showing a tablet resting on mine in portrait mode. It just isn't snapped in. You need to settle for using the cover to prop the unit up like an easel. The keyboard itself should still be functional as it works via Bluetooth.

Kiiiiiinda? I'd say "not really," but if you're setting the phone on a really grippy surface or put something behind the tip of the back flap to keep it from sliding, then it will stand up. If the cover is completely folded over, the "spine" doesn't make an angle worth talking about.I found propping the phone up in portrait mode is good when you are using the speaker or want to easily hear the phone ring.I too love this case ;)

Yes it will. When you put it in the horizontal orientation, the tablet will slide down, causing the case to block a portion of the screen. It is a little annoying, but for the price, it was a decent buy. It holds cards and things so that's nice. It also holds it at a relatively ideal angle for when it is horizontal.

Not specifically, I mean you can set up the stand and put it up-down, though then its not at an angle. What I prefer though is the hand hold, there is the elastic hand strap that I end up using all the time to comfortably use it to rest in my hand in the portrait mode.

Yes. I found it is not stable with a wide-format tablet stood on the narrow end when in the low angle position only.

The cover is not designed to use as a vertical stand. It does hold up the tablet vertically but with no ability to tilt it at an angle.

The case has a horizontal stand...no vertical. I usually just lean it against something....the ipad mini is fairly lightweight.

It will stand up, but it isn't stable. I have found that propping the tablet up and resting the bottom against the flat keyboard is best. A little cramped, but it works. I've also tried turning the tablet upside down, while in the case, works at times. But if you are attempting to charge the tablet, while using it, you have to turn it upside down. Again, it takes a little getting used to, as the buttons habitually used at the bottom-are now on the top.But the convience and the great price make the keyboard a great accessory for me.

There is only a stand function for landscape mode and it has only one position. But this has worked perfectly fine for me since I'vs had the case. I actually never needed it to stand in portrait mode (yet). The bluetooth keyboard works very well which for me was the most important thing for me.

It's my experience that the stand is unstable in the portrait position. The case itself is very functional in the portrait position.

The IPAD holding part doesn't rotate so this case wouldn't be good for portrait use.Larry Cruzen

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.
