Will this lay completely flat on a table for note taking?

It can. The bezels can sometime get in the way. I usually take it out of its case for that, of course it's wonderful for everything else. Its hard to find a case that's less intrusive and very sturdy build quality.

Yes, it lays flat on the table. The lid lifts up on hinges and you can push it out of the way.

Yes. I am not using the iPad holder, so I don't know if that would make a difference. I do store papers in the side pocket, but I am able to open it and have it lay flat on a table.

No. It is just like any other bound journal. To get it to lay flat, you have to press it and crease the binding

Yes, it lays flat like a book. If you are videoing or taking pictures, it is not useful. It is a bit bulky BUT the keyboard is attached magnetically so it can be removed for easier use for handling. I really like mine. It is durable, magnetic, and convenient.

No, just push on the joints and the table folds. It does not fold into a very compact form, I must say. It does not become completely flat.

Yes it folds completely flat or can be tucked under a tab to act as an stand.

Not really because of the pocket, flap and seams. It would never be flat like a table pad.

It does sit flat on a table. Make sure you read the directions first because the person I gave it to couldn't get it to work (guys don't read directions) & when I read how to get it started, it worked perfectly. I've have a number of these myself and give them as gifts, not all this same brand and type because it's what is available at the time with good reviews.

I agree with the previous two answers. Papers or folders laying flat, yes. Heavy books, no.

No, like all "book bound" journals, it will not lie completely flat. The only journals that will do such are spiral bound such as financial ledgers which I guess most people who keep journals avoid due to the possibility of pages being removed either accidentally or intentionally. The "book bound" journal by Gibson is of excellent quality, and I am pleased with their overall performance.

It will lay flat, but the wooden rollers in it would not be comfortable to lay on. I would not recommend it for,the use you are mentioning.

Absolutely. There's an adjustable latch on the back that will allow it to be totally flat. This product is very well designed and useful. I really enjoy using mine. Hope this is helpful :)

The surface is certainly smooth enough to write on, it's very smooth. It also has about 16 tilt positions between straight up and laying flat.

If its's just paper the curve isn't too much and its flatter towards the top where you would most likely write on. If you are using a pad with a cardboard backing it might bend at the bottom but then why would you use this to write on?
