With the tablet detached from the keyboard, can you use this case to prop up the tablet in portrait and landscape orientation?

Yes the tablet portion of the case also detaches from the keyboard and the flip cover can be used as a stand in both landscape and portrait.

Once detached from keyboard you cannot use the case as a stand. To a lot of people that would be a turn off but for me it didn't matter.

The case doesn't support the screen when it's detected in an upright position. Love the case though.

I have used it in the detached mode and have been able to use the tablet in landscape mode. I have not tried to stand it in the portrait mode but it feels as if it may have too much give (not stiff enough) on the edge to use in portrait. The flexibility is what makes it work in the landscape mode.

Yes, you can, but only to view. If you wanted the tablet in portrait and adjust the keyboard to type beneath it in portrait, it does not do that.

The short answer is no. In fact you can, but it won't work well. In 'portrait', i.e. long side vertical, the device is rock solid. The device does swivel, so you can rotate the phone to 'landscape', but it uses a tightening screw on the back that becomes easily loose if you either swivel the phone back and forth or with prolonged 'landscape' usage. I tested it for about a week, and what happens is after a while the phone swivels on its own, counterclockwise (so the top of the phone points downwards). To fix, you have to reach behind and painstakingly tighten that screw. It's too fiddly for me.

No - the key board only allows support in the landscape orientation. You can stand up as portrait (like a book) but the keyboard will be virtually non functional.

No, I never tried using it in the landscape position. I use it for documents (portrait)

I use it all the time, like now, propped up. But only in landscape. I hate the keyboard

I use my keyboard in the flat position with the tablet in landscape mode. Not sure about video.

Yes you can. Remember though that once the keyboard is attached the on-screen keyboard does not automatically appear. This is a great case and I highly recommend it as it allows full functionality.

Yes you can stand it up in portrait or landscape. I love this case as I am addicted to my tablet.

Yes you definitely can. The case that covers the iPad swivels 360 degrees and can fold flat over the keyboard.

Yes. In fact, After I bought it and was using it, I thought I broke it. It is attached to the case by magnets. I did not know this and when it came loose, I thought I had broken it. But it just snaps right back in place. Some times I use the case because it has a built in stand, and just detatch the keyboard so I can sit back.

You can fold the case cover under and hold it with the elastic band but the Microsoft keyboard was not designed for that. You would have to detach it and set it aside.

Yes. It only positions the iPad landscape not portrait. Mine was a fake case and my kickstand was broken, but it did the job.

No, this is a great case but you cannot use the kickstand or keyboard with it. The ports are all use-able with it however.

Yes, you can use it either way...but you have to have it in landscape when you use the keyboard....

It can but it's not designed to protect the keyboard or cover the tablet with the keyboard docked

Hi Mindy, I bought a new case for my tablet/mobile dock, but it did have the capability to accomodate the keyboard.
