Is it stable when propped up using one of the leather strips so that you could touch the ipad (eg websurfing, games) or will it flop down?

Never had any problems with this case...I use it all the time with no slippage whatsoever. This is simplythe best case I ever seen or owned. Good job Kavaj!!

Seems stable to me. I must say, I love mine. My son saw and used my KAVAJ, and bought one for himself. Enjoy it.

I have found the Kavaj iPad Air leather case to be very stable. I often use it on my lap and have no problem with it standing up in any of its adjustable positions. It is beautifully made and a perfect case for the iPad Air.

It is very stable. It is very sleek and well made. I have really been happy with this purchase.

Very stable. this is one of the finest cases you will find for any iPad and their customer service if needed is outstanding. I highly recommend Kavaj?

Ours is pretty stable. Some bounce, but not a lot. We use it in the kitchen for recipe display, mostly, so there's more swipe than tap, and we have it mounted about 15 degrees off vertical in landscape orientation. I don't know about extended keyboard entry, although I can see how lots of taps might amplify the bounce. Hope that helps!

The best way to answer this would be to address the possible ways you would be using your iPad. If, for instance, you use it in your work to walk around and record things, then the hand strap is convenient, although for longer time periods, not comfortable on the wrist. If you use your iPad at a desk for long periods of time, then the hand strap attached to the base is sturdy enough to hold the iPad for viewing. If you want to use the iPad for writing with a stylus, you'd find that it (hand strap attached to base) springs quite a bit back and forth as you write, especially in the portrait view; a bit less in the landscape view. I bought this thinking it would be useful, used it once or twice, then put it on a shelf and haven't used it since. When I use the iPad for reading/viewing, I either prop it up using the Apple Cover, or, if I'm in my recliner, I put a pillow on my lap to prop it up and read away. In hindsight, I personally would pass on buying this.

It's not a formal adjustment, but yes you can position it a bit by moving the back leg forward and back. In the photo they show it is at full recline, but you can shimmy it up closer to the base to have your iPad rest more vertically. The base back leg is rubberized so it should stay in place but there is no formalized click or anything to have it click into various resting levels.

I just rotate my ipad and put it on top of the keyboard with the back of the ipad on top of the keyboard. It isn't flat but it works for me..

I've not had that problem. The adjustable back support with gripper pad and the notches for the tablet to sit in on the base, make it very stable. Love it. Use it daily.

N, the ipad is well locked into place. Additionally the outside of the case is textured so it is not slippery. There are three options for making the ipad stand up at different angles. Sometimes I find it slips out of the first one, but that is no big deal as it doesn't damage anything and you can use the other two anyway.

I have never had it fall down in any of the positions. One thing to think about is that adding to the fact that its a very slim case there isn't extra "flappage", not sure how else to put it, on the case. You have to pop the bottom of the tablet out of the holder and tilt it that way. This is one think that I don't like, but overall I really like the case.

It's stiff enough to hold the iPad in place. If you put a frame around it, might be to heavy.

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

Not very well, no. the inside of the case is covered with light weight felt. So, if the iPad is had a steep angle it will hold up. If it is at a flatter angle, say 30 degrees it slips down. I usually place my iPhone in front of the iPad on the felt with I don't have the keyboard there for support. On another note, the keyboard works very well and the batter life is crazy good. I used it lightly, perhaps, once a day for 30 minutes an the unit did not need a recharge for 6 months. Crazy. Altogether I am very happy with the purchase. The case is super thin and lightweight. As solid value.

It has rubber grips in back of where the stand is. I guess that's if you lay it flat down. I've never had a problem. But my iPad has a Tarsus 360 degree moveable case on it at the same time. Still fits in between the ledge and the stand (as seen in the picture.) I use it in bed every night with it on my lap or chest and it's never fallen off.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration. Matt, The unit itself is very stable.

I find that if I fold back the cover and "reverse-snap" the clasp in place, then I am able to slide my hand in between and hold the iPad comfortably in one hand for longer periods of time. There are no "straps" by which to hold the case/iPad, but then, it is not that heavy. The advantages of this case far, far outweigh any disadvantages (if any).

Yes, but the best way to do it is NOT how it's pictured. Instead of using the edges as the legs facing towards your lap, fold it so the legs face towards you and allow the middle section (the part that normally allows the iPad to rest against it) to rest on your lap. Much more stable and more comfortable!

My sister and brother have iPad Minis and I have the larger iPad. All of us have the corresponding keyboard and in chatting with them, none of us have any issue concerning stability with the keyboard on our laps or a table top. None of us have used it in bed, so can't help you there.

I'll be honest, I don't use my iPad in bed at all, but have had no trouble using the Prop 'n Go on my lap on the couch. As was said below, there is a lip on the lower part to hold the iPad and two non slip strips on either side of the face of the surface and the iPad stays put, no slipping or even moving around.
