If you were typing, the camera would be pointed at your face. Is that what you had in mind? Once you turn on the camera, the image appears on the screen.

Not sure, I have not tried that. One word of caution. The keyboard is very "soft", you need to hit the keys dead on or they do not respond all the time. It is annoying, but you learn to live with it.

Yes, you can utilize the camera while it is in the case. Yes, a tad awkward, but you can utilize the keyboard as another stabilizing holdpoint while taking the pictures.

Definitely not if it is a standalone keyboard. Perhaps, if it is a folio-style combo.

you know what, it say its a touch screen. when I first turned the camera on I kept touching the screen trying to scroll & push, cause its a touch screen right? NOTHING happened, great I thought, my camera is broken?! Playing around with it more, I found almost ALL functions even picture taking are done by hand with the dial knob or push shoot button. I haven't used a touch function yet. The VERY short explanatory manual dosent say if there is an option to make it exclusively a touch screen either. So what in this camera is a touch screen? IDK , I do know I hate touch screens lol

Pictures in folio mode is a no go, but I don't have any problem with taking pictures with the keyboard out or just flapping down. Dropped it once, caught in mid air and folio popped oped and Ipad flew out onto the floor. Folio just protects from every day use but not hard use.

It's a little touchy with USB keyboards. Some work, some don't, and I haven't found one that works with all apps. If you have a keyboard you want to connect, try using the front USB port.

Camera perfectly works with keys not using touch screen at all. There are many customisations for function keys, so you can adjust as you need. But I haven't seen option to disable touchscreen. Myself I'm also used to key control, so mostly I use keys, but in some cases touchscreen (for example you can set focus area by touching object in screen).

you can use the front facing camera there is a spot cut out for it I love this case a little heavy with the keyboard attached but is very well made the keyboard is attached magnetically to the one flap and can be removed easily if you don't need it but also stays well in place and the kindle wont move around at all due to it being in a secure inclosure with a Velcro flap that folds under the kindle and is also held into place by the fold of the case flap when closed all attachment holes line up well for the headset on off buttons charging port and all camera would definitely purchase again but believe this one will probably outlast my kindle. don't use the keyboard much so don't know how long the battery will last in terms of years but works fine and haven't had trouble with the Bluetooth connecting or anything else .

If you can, I have not been able to figure out how. It is the only negative aspect of the camera, as far as I am concerned. If I wanted my kids to play electronic games, I would buy them. I bought a camera. It is an unfortunate feature. I wish it was just an optional add-on.

I have not tried doing that but I can tell you that I've plugged this into front-facing USB ports on my tower PC and it works just fine. This is a great keyboard, feels great since I went from an ergonomic 4000 to this.

The camera works in the front like normal. The touchscreen *DOES NOT* turn off when placed to your ear. I've had to turn off Facetime because I kept hitting the button with my face and accidentally facetiming whoever I was on the phone with.

To be honest with you you can't. Sorry. And even if you could the camera would be upside down. The only solution to that is To make a slot on the other side of the oh you can flip it around

Kind of. You have to take the iPad and the keyboard apart, lay the iPad face down on the keyboard, then there is the flat metal magnetic bar that flips over the iPad. So one side of the "case" would be the actually iPad itself. I returned mine or I'd take a picture.
