Can you close the case with the touchscreen side up and usable? Do you have to set the case aside if you want to use the tablet as a normal tablet instead of a touch-screen mini-pc?

You can't put the case on with the touchscreen side exposed. The Nexus is not symmetrical from front to back, so the clips only work when you are covering the screen with the case.

No you cannot close case with the touchscreen side up. It faces inward toward the keyboard.Yes, you have to set the case aside if you want to use it as just a tablet.

It's not really a case, more of a stand. The tablet locks into it screen-side down only. So if you want to use it as just a tablet, like you have to with most games, then yes, you need to set the keyboard aside.

yes....the tablet just rests in a groove made fo it.... the case only closes on the tablet in the closed position.... this is the only drawback i see of this piece (for on the go usage)

lift up on the inside of the case there is a Velcro Tab under where you put your Tablet in it, unless you didnt put it in that way of course

No the case does not securely hold the tablet. One must be careful when using it.

Yes, that is the tablet that I have too.. It fits pretty good inside of it but only if you hold it like it shows in the picture. If you hold the case vertically, you may want to watch out because it can start sliding out slowly.

I primarily use my tablet vertical. You can either lie it flat with the cover open to the left of the tablet, or you can stand it straight up like a book or take the cover and fold it back the other way so it is in the back. There is no way to use it vertical and have it at an angle like you can when it is horizontal. Hope this helps!! :)

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.

same as without the case, just touch the screen.... I love the case. I was against getting a case for a year, but am glad I made the purchase now.

Yes.Easy access to the charging port on the keyboard and the full cover is in use (tablet and keyboard attached).The case can detach and be used as just a tablet cover if you wish to just carry the tablet.Both ports can be accessed with the cover closed in both configurations.

nope, sadly no.... since it's multi touch would've been awesome it it would tilt and close down with the screen facing upwards... than being like a thick tablet...would love that

Depends on how rough you plan on being with the tablet. There is a certain amount of space between the keys and the screen when closed. This is because the tablet is slightly recessed in the holder. With normal use I haven't had any problems but I also purchased the plastic film screen protector on my Nexus7 for added safety. If you plan on jamming it say into a brief case or purse then I'm sure with enough force you could get the keys to contact the screen. Been using this case for 3 months with a problem so far.

The case comes with a hard cover that comes off and it's used as a stand or it can be placed behind the tablet giving access to the screen. If you detached the hard cover when you hold it and you turn it around, on the opposite side there are two magnets providing the auto on/off function.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I watched the u tube videos which show totally dismantling the tablet. Totally unnecessary. Take out the battery and disconnect the touch screen. You have to get the screen HOT to get the double sided tape to release.

The tablet sides are available to charging while in case, however, the tablet, although snug, is easily removable. I remove mine frequently to use the camera function. Not able to use the camera with tablet in the case.

Yes. (with a caveat) You can fold the tablet over the keyboard, but doing so makes the corners of the tablet press on the keys underneath, which could cause undesired behavior. Not a huge gripe, but something to be aware of. I fix this by switching off the keyboard, and then turning it back on when I'm done. Hope this helps! :)

Hi,Yes you can, it also has a hard cover for the front/screen if you need to protect your tablet in more 'extreme' circumstances!Cheers,John

Yes you can, if you have a 'skeleton' style case. I have the LuvTab case, that folds back to allow using the cradle while still in the case. It also gives access to 99% of the tablets surface (nice for keeping it clean, no bezel to trap dust). It used to be sold here, if not it's not hard to find. Having the cradle is very nice, it allows you to use the tablet while it's charging at an adjustable angle. It's nice to use the tablet with a Bluetooth Keyboard on my lap and the screen resting in it's cradle on a nearby table. When I take it with me, it just lifts out of the cradle, the case locks shut very securely and I'm away. Buy the cradle, you will regret not having it and they are now heavily discounted.

I'm using it that way. It's a tight fit and doesn't always stay attached. Also I had to remove the screen protector. Keyboard works great but the way it stages can be improved.
