Can it stand in portrait mode or just landscape? (thinking of the 8 inch note)

VERY unstable in portrait mode. Would not recommend it. I have added props to the back to help it stand, but not without something added.

You can use the case without the keyboard dock to stand the tablet in Landscape very nicely. In portrait it will stand straight up, but it's not at a good angle. Might post pics if I get a chance....

Yes it works great in landscape mode. It has gripper strips down either side, so it's pretty secure. I use mine everyday and love it. Every comfortable on your lap. Best stand on the market in my humble opinion.

No. The stand has groves designed for the device to fit in Landscape mode. Plus the stand has such a low profile that if you were to turn it Portrait it would probably flip over the stand.

The instructions claim that it will support both; however, in my opinion it only does landscape well. It's possible to get it to stand almost vertically in portrait, but the stability is not confidence inspiring. At the more laid back angle, it doesn't work at all in portrait. Landscape is rock solid at both angles.

The key pad is designed for landscape use, so using it in portrait mode makes no sense. This is not really a cover, it is a keyboard that snaps onto the ipad and is hinged to closed over the display. The back of the Ipad is not covered. It does work great.

Interesting question -- I hadn't thought of that -- I got it for my kindle fire hd 8.9. However, I own 3 surfaces (2 SP1's and an S2) so I gave it a try. As with the KFHD89, it will work in landscape mode only -- the friction-based grabbers will be on top and bottom of the device in landscape, and they will hold fine. In portrait the grabbers are on the left/right of the device, and the weight of the device causes it to slip out of the grabbers, and fall on the floor. If you want something that will hold a device in both orientations, I would suggest finding something with a different kind of device holder. After my bad experience with portrait mode, I did find several other similar device arms with device holders that should work (although I've not gotten any of them yet). A search on Amazon should find these -- pay close attention to photos to see how they hold the tablet to the arm. Look for those that attach at opposite corners of the tablet. Hope this helps :grin.

The stand really only works well in landscape. I don't think it was designed for portrait. Personally, I would much rather use mine in landscape.

It works best with landscape because it can tilt to several angles. When using it in the portrait it will only stand straight. By the way, I have had my cover for several years now and it has held up very well.

Propping up the tablet in horizontal mode works "so-so" with this case cover.Putting the tablet in portrait mode works too but the unit is able to stand up on its own because it has been propped up in a "V" pattern. (Take a book and open it up to the middle page and set it on the table-now you get idea)

It depends on which iPad you are using. Mine will work just fine in either landscape or portrait positions. I have a model MD522LL/A.

Yes. I use it in both position. Just make sure it's nice and tight in the portrait position so the tablet doesn't slip down ;)

Both but not great in portrait mode due to the size and position of the kickstand

It does not have the ability to be in portrait mode. The stand will not stay up on its side and the slot the tablet fits in is designed for landscape. It is a great stand though.

The one in the middle works great and I've found that if I kind of bend the center fold in on itself, I can use the groove closest to the edge and it is very sturdy.However, the one closest to the fold is not usable at all in portrait mode because the tablet is too top heavy.I uploaded a couple of pics to illustrate what I am talking about as far as the usable grooves.

Yes you can kickstand it for a portrait view. Sorry no only one "positon" on the stand. it is a great "protector" and very happy with it. no regrets.

Does it work in portrait mode just for browsing web pages? If yes, I will use it with a VESA vertical stand.
