Can you use this on your lap or just on a table? Also, can the keyboard fold back for users that don't want to use the keyboard?

It might be a bit wobbly on your lap but id does fold back so that you may use without keyboard. I am very happy with mine, for what it's worth.

As long as you can situate it comfortably for yourself, on your lap works fine. I used mine primarily at school for taking notes. Keyboard folds back easily, just make sure the keyboard is turned off, otherwise you start accidentally typing in places

The case will not fold flat the way I feel that you are describing. In my opinion, this case is only useful in the horizontal stand position. If you just needed a keyboard extension and stand, it's really great. :)

Yes, it folds back, but I would not advise using it in that manner as the keyboard keys would be exposed and it would not be very comfortable to hold. In your case I would simply remove the iPad from the case completely, which is very easy to do with this model, unlike the prior version I owned. I take it our of the case when I am using the iPad as a reader.

I use mine with a laptop; the laptop sits on top of the desk, and I bought an inexpensive keyboard that connects via a USB port. The keyboard tray doesn't fit the laptop, but this works well and only cost me around $15 for the keyboard. Easy to disconnect and take the laptop somewhere else when needed.

not quite sure what you are asking but you can go to you tube adn see a demo.. I love that the ipaid air can be turned either way and you can extend the pad away from the keyboard..hope this helps

The keyboard does not flip 360deg to the back side. It opens like a typical lap top. I have not tried, but it may lay flat

Yes you can. If you fold the keyboard portion around, it covers the back. If you hold the whole thing up like an open book then it is not covered. While it maybe slightly awkward, I haven't found it problematic.

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. But recommend for use only on a desktop or table. I am six foot four and can't use it on my lap for more than a few minutes since the platform it provides is too long. I gifted one and the recipient doesn't use it for the same reason. The instructions are useless unless you are proficient in Chinese. The keyboard is very good if you intend to use it as a desktop computer. The Bluetooth connection is excellent and automatic and the keyboard has a good touch.

I use it when I am reclined in my lazyboy,I use it with my iPad.I sometimes eat my dinner on it as I am handicapped. It sits on my lap very flat.It doesn't move or slide. I don't use it with my feet flat on the floor with it on my lap, but if you are sitting with your legs up it works great, at least for me it does. I hope this helps.

Should work fine as long as you have your monitor at the right height or angle. I find it great for laptop or tablet use. May need a mouse pad depending on size of keyboard...some bumps on back half of top surface. The bumps keep things from sliding and also allow for ventilation on a laptop sitting on a rubber like surface.

Honestly, I think it's too small for my lap in order to type comfortably. Also, there's a built in prop for your phone, tablet, etc that would require the keyboard to be completely flat in order to utilize it.

I've been typing with it on my lap... and itseems to be staying in place without any issue as all. My preference is to have it all on a table, but in a pinch my legs work.

The stand is best used with the legs cause the legs prevent the stand from folding in the middle. Although I do use the stand laying flat without the use of the legs but I lay it flat on a hard surface, like the floor or a desk something that is smooth or level. If using your lap is the most comfortable way you use your laptop then you should get a lapdesk instead those don't usually fold, Amazon has a lot of those to buy and choose from.

Typing, yes; reading and using? That depends. The stand is limited to one angle which is a bit steep for full upright lap use and just a tad shallow for fully reclined use, as far as I am concerned; I tend to not need the keyboard in bed and I just remove it. The iPad mini itself is pretty stable in the groove though; if you tilt it more than about 35 degrees backward or about 20 forward it will start to fall out. It's more steady than the larger iPad version physically because the mini center of mass is lower and it fits pretty snug in the groove.

Yes, the keyboard is detachable. For example, you can put the keyboard on your lap, while the table sits on the table.

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.
