Will the viewing angles work laying on someone's lap rather an a flat surface? Will it tip over? Is it sturdy?

I'm using it on my lap with one of the viewing angles right now. It's stable and a good angle for both viewing the screen and typing.

i had no issues, it is sturdy and strong, however i am facing a n issue on the scree, the screen shows two moisture lines due to folding gaps of the front cover. they can be cleaned, however i think it is due to the mateiral used to protect the screen.

I found that it works very well on your lap, but of course you have to be careful not to tip your legs too suddenly. It is very sturdy and I could not be more pleased with it.

The viewing angles work perfectly on flat surface or your lap.. I tried it and it is fine. This case is one of the best you will find out there regarding the quality, sturdiness or price. Actually the leather look gives my iPad mini an elegant look. I highly recommend it!!

The viewing angles does work, there are magnets that keep the cover secure when folded to the back, it is a great convenience, and can become a handle while holding your iPad, depending how stable your lap is, it seems like it won't fall unless pushed over intentionally, but in the end, I never noticed the case fall over, the case is pretty tough, if you never drop your iPad, but will protect from scratches and minor damages. Highly recommended and worth the price, you'll be happy with this purchase, still nothing as good as this case!

It should work well on your lap or on a flat surface, because it's rigid enough. Also, the back folds down to make a stand, when you have it on a flat surface.

Yes it works very well, it's quite stable and very sturdy. Any case will flip over if you move without supporting it, so I don't see this as an issue, this provides multiple viewing angles so you can choose the best one to suite you.

The tilting mechanism is not that sturdy. I wouldn't recommend putting anything more then the weight and size of a laptop computer.

I think it depends on the distance. The base is pretty substantial, I doubt it would tip unless it was super extended

Sits well on desktop or hard surface. My wife uses it on her lap routinely. In my opinion well balanced.

It's pretty sturdy. You can use a laptop with no worries. I wouldn't put 100 lbs on it, but it's not fragile

I wouldn't recommend it. It may stand on its own but it wouldn't take much to tip it over.

if you are referring to the two tabs that flip up that are supposed to keep the computer from sliding towards you, this is correct,,I do not use it on an angle much I keep it flat but It is very uncomfortable on the lap. the plastic edges dig into the legs. But for the price it was the cheapest for a 17 inch computer that keeps it cool. And I already burned out one mother board from over heating.

It will stand up in the "landscape" view. It's not super stable, but it works as long as its a flat, smooth surface.

The exterior is pretty sturdy and stiff to keep it upright and strong. However, you may still be able to fold it and write on your lap. But since quite bulky and thick, I wouldn't expect it to be flattened out completely.

We have a large flatscreen t.v. - it's pretty sturdy, although a flat screen is not that heavy either.

It is very sturdy. I have even moved the table it was on while DJing with little to no sway. As for comfort it depends on the table you are setting it on. The angle it holds it at would put the keyboard of most laptops at an angle similar to a normal desktop keyboard propped up on it's back risers. I think it's fine.

It is very sturdy. I have it holding my first generation iPad next to my computer monitor on my desk and it is as stable as a rock. I have never had it tip or alter the tilt angle. The tension for the tilt angle is adjustable so you can really lock it down.

As long as you set it high enough, as on a table, books, etc. I think lap would cause you to look down.

It's a pretty sturdy stand, so i think weight wise it could probably handle it. It'd be a bit awkward though because this is only about as wide as a monitor stand, i'd be more worried about it tipping over

I have no problems with it being stable. It doesn't tip(unless all your weight is on one edge). Or bounce/shift under you. And I have balance and depth perception issues! So I think you'll be safe.

It is surprisingly sturdy and balanced, if it is an ink jet it might wobble when it is printing. It wouldn't fall over.I have a 3 year old visitor that uses it as a personal table and she hasn't had any issues with tipping.the base is really solid. I put a round placemat on it and if you put a printer on it, you might want to put one on it too.

It stands up on a solid flat surface very well, but not so much laying in bed or I suppose any slanted surface. I bought it for the wife and to be honest she doesn't even use it anymore. It seems to be designed for sitting at a table. FYI, there is no mouse pad with it.
