Would this be beneficial for people typing in basic information (or in other words, would the iPad be moving around as they touched the screen?)

It's primarily a holder for the display. I don't type using the built in keypad. I use a separate bluetooth keyboard when it's on the stand.

The iPad doesn't move around at all though I'm not pressing that hard on the device that would make it move. For extensive typing though (i.e. eBay listings) I would recommend using a Bluetooth keyboard.

It is a place to hold the iPad - more a storage location. It would not be useful for typing when device is in stand.

It's ok for swiping and scrolling, but the angle is a little awkward for typing on the on-screen keyboard. If you got a wireless keyboard, it would be at the right angle for reading and clicking.

It doesn't move around a lot while typing, but you wouldn't want to type out an email while using it. It's really not at an angle convenient for typing, but I got mine in order to use a bluetooth keyboard.

From my experience (and my reason for purchasing) this is purely for viewing purposes. Typing is not doable as it is awkward.

Yes, although it's not going to be as precise as the pen would be though. I always seem to have a problem at work because people go to point at something on the screen and instead they move everything around.

yes. THe keyboard is a little different than most but very adaptable. There are times that there are delays between the keyboard bluetooth and the ipad screen but I find it workable.

Yes! However, the keyboard is extremely hard and uncomforably to use, so you would probably end up typing slower than on the device itself.

I just looked at other answers. Honestly I hold it with one hand when I'm moving to get something and the iPad stays in place. The magnet literally is that strong. To me with this keyboard I literally feel like I'm using my laptop. Only difference is this is a touch screen.

I have used it with the keyboard on my lap and, well you can do it, but it is not as comfortable. You can, in exchange, put the back of the cover against the top of the keyboard and use the iPad (while still inside the cover) as you normally would, this is quite more comfortable.

Yes. I have an Ipad 2. In fact, I typed this answer with the keyboard. I LOVE IT!!

Yes! It does so instantaneously. If you prefer to view it vertically you still have a functional on-screen qwerty keyboard you can type in with your graphics pen.

I'm gonna say YES. However, keep in mind that the keyboard is smaller than it looks (10" x 3.5" approx.); and second, it take some practice to get use to it, specially because the lack of feedback.

I have. Yes, it worked ok ... I found I tended to move slowly on it because it's a pretty bouncy movement for typing, but at least you're moving a bit. I tended to use it when I was reading.

Actually NO. My screen was scratched BY THE KEYBOARD. The white colored groove has edges that are higher and harder than the rest of the keyboard. I bought this keyboard to help protect my screen from scratches...but now I have two permanent horizontal screen scratches spanning the length of the ipad screen :(

The keyboard comes with a magnetic strip that attaches to the iPad. I think it works pretty good.

In my opinion absolutely. The rotating display allows the iPad to collapse completely over the keyboard, so the is no angled gap between the iPad and the keyboard like other models. The apostrophe is an actual key and does not require the user to hold down function to activate it.

Possibly. It certainly would add additional padding, and should be adequate if the keyboard is not handled roughly.

From what i recall the touch screen is optical and does not register pressure or sensitivity, it triangulates your touch based off a horizontal and vertical sensor. As such it will take any form of input, which has its benefits.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by select, but while I type on the keyboard, I also still touch the Ipad screen to move things.

It can affect things technically I suppose. The point that the pressure happens on the screen first shows up. If you are aware of it there is not a problem. You just can't rest on it really. I haven't had an issue with that. I think it reads fingertip and stylus better.
