Is the keyboard removable from the case so I can use my iPad mini in the leather case as an e-reader without having to hold the keyboard as well.

Yes, the keyboard has 4 magnets on each corner. So you can remove the keyboard from the case.

Yes that is the good thing about this case, the keyboard is magnetized so it comes off easy.

The keyboard attaches magnetically and comes off as a unit, leaving the tablet in the case. It reattaches just as easily. Removing the keyboard also lightens the load for traveling and there's one less thing to charge. I've done that when I don't anticipate a lot of typing.

No. Keyboard has to be detached to put the tablet in the case. You can open the case and fold it back and attach the keyboard but you can't fold the case closed.

not sure what you are asking. The Leather Case does not have a key board. I purchased an apple wireless keyboard with its own case (Incase Origami Workstation), the case acts as a stand for the iPad (with the Leather Case on).This was my solution, it works sitting at a table or with a small lap table. In my case I don't carry my keyboard all of the time only when I plan of typing a lot do I bring the keyboard and its case with me. The case acts as a stand for the iPad and it protects the keyboard in transit.The last thing, I went this way because I prefer to have my iPad in Portrait vs Landscape mode when typing documents. the iPad can sit in the Incase Origami Workstation in both orientations.Robert not sure what you are asking.

No. You can't remove the keyboard. It's a silicone keyboard so it's sorta glued on. But you are able to fold it back up, even with your iPad inside of the case.

Yes, I purchased this case about a week ago and since the bottom of the tablet can be removed without removing the top clips, you can attach the keyboard without removing the case which is a great improvement over the other 2 cases I purchased for this tablet.

Well, yes as in it detaches from your iPad. It works with Bluetooth, so it doesn't plug directly into or draw power from your iPad. However the keyboard and case are one piece, that the iPad fits into. So you can't detach the keyboard and keep the iPad in the case, if that's what you meant.Hope this helped!

Check that last answer of mine. No, you can either fold the keyboard to the back of the iPad, or remove the iPad from the case. You can't separate the iPad from the keyboard without dismounting it from the case. If you choose to fold the keyboard to the back of the iPad, you must also switch off the keyboard or the Bluetooth, in order to use the pop up iOS keyboard.

Yes, both keyboard and tablet are closed in the case. Keyboard is secured by 4 magnets. A little pressure an the keyboard will detach. This is a great case.

I assume you mean "get the iPad out of the case" which is easy to do without effort. You'll be disappointed in the keyboard. I returned mine....it's cheap and fragile.

Yes, the case and keyboard are a single unit that you slip your IPad in to. It does not stand up well for typing use and it is very, very hard to open. Save your money - don't buy this case!

Can you pry the keyboard from the enclosing case? I don't know? I've never felt the need to try. You aren't limited in any by having it in the case as the iPad slips into and out of the enclosure very easily?
2188607
Absolutely. It can come off in a couple of ways. The "clasp" that can be left with the ipad to act as an easel, or the entire clasp portion can be removed from the ipad and keyboard to be used separately. Quite convenient. I often use just the ipad in its case without the keyboard attached when necessary.

No the keyboard can not be removed, the case and keyboard are one piece. The tablet fits snaps into the top part of the shell very firmly.

Yes it is removal. ..if you want to take it off and use it without the keyboard. it is very easy to sync with the bluetooth feature. ..Every where I go people ask me where I got it!!

There is a hard fitted ipad cover that detaches from the keyboard, but the arm that holds the ipad up is still attached to the keyboard. but yes, you can easily detached the ipad from the keyboard and use it as a reader or games etc. the entire case also allows you to fold it down so you can hold it while the keyboard is under the ipad. The battery last for a long time. Weeks if you turn it off. The only time I actually had to charge it was because I accidentally left it on for like 10 days straight.

Yes. The keyboard is magnetically attached to the case so it is removable, but does conf with purchase of the case.
