If I use this case without the keyboard part attached, does the case provide angle view like a folio case?

Without the keyboard the case will allow you to prop the tablet up for viewing in a standing position however it is not sturdy enough to actually press the screen in a normal manner without you supporting it with your other hand. Also when you close the case, without the keyboard attachment portion, there is no method in which to keep it closed such as a magnetic flap or button closure. While the case can be used without the keyboard for the most part, it will not have all the functionality of a case that is made to be used with a tablet without a keyboard. This particular case caters towards always having the keyboard attached and in that form it excels nicely.

I bought this case for my wife and she always has the keyboard attached. From memory the keyboard and cover detaches completely but may not support an angled view by itself - only a protective cover.

Somewhat. Flip the keyboard over, on the upper corners there are tabs, one tab on each side. When extended the tab will give you a slight angle. Try it for a while a see which you prefer.

If you intend to use the tablet without the keyboard, it works best to remove the tablet from the folio. But to answer your question, you can swing the cover around back, with the keyboard stuck to the flap, but it isn't the most convenient configuration.

I find that I have to move the keyboard for a good viewing angle. I frequently move the keyboard beyond the case.....Actually I stopped using it because it scratched my ipad but when I did use it I had to move the keyboard every time.

Yes, I purchased this case about a week ago and since the bottom of the tablet can be removed without removing the top clips, you can attach the keyboard without removing the case which is a great improvement over the other 2 cases I purchased for this tablet.

Yes, and I don't find it bulky at all. Considering there is a keyboard attached, I think it's more slender than other keyboard cases I've seen/tried.

It does, provided you don't want to flip down the screen. Unfortunately the side of the case gets in the way of this happening. I didn't notice the problem for a week or so, but I think I'm going to return it as I find tilting the screen to be too useful a feature to give up. Otherwise it's a very nice case.

The case does come up on the sides, but it does not interfere with the keyboard at all. If you move an app from one screen to another, it does get in the way a little, but it the case is pliable enough that it simply pushes out of the way so there really is no problem with that process either.

Based on the pictures it looks like the keyboard portion of the case actually disconnects and then you have just the portfolio for just the tablet. If you never intend to get a keyboard though you could just get a case like MiniSuit ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Case TF700 / TF700T PU Leather MultiView stand folio case for ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity 10.1-Inch Tablet - Black and not have to worry about it.

No it doesn't. The keyboard is magnetized so you can easily remove it and put it back, if you just want to carry your tablet around without the keyboard. The case has no operational functions.

No. I just turn the whole Folio the direction I want it. It is sturdy enough to free stand if you get the right angle. I am very satisfied with the case for my Nook HD. It has held up really well also.

Yes, it does quite nicely.There is an opening in the case so that way you can attach andd unattach the keyboard with no problem

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....

No, the case becomes two separate pieces when you have the tablet open... One that is on the tablet, one that is on the keyboard. So you Can flip it back. I just recommend a bit of Velcro to actually attach the tablet section of the case to the tablet, as it pops off or gets misaligned with the camera if you just look at it funny otherwise.

I'm just an end-user here, but... It looks exactly like the picture shows. The keyboard is integrated into the iPad cover/case. You can remove the keyboard from the cover, but I never do. The nice thing about this iPad case/cover is that you can rotate the iPad for either portrait or landscape mode. The bad thing is that in portrait mode, the iPad tends to flop backwards more often that the previous version of the VersaVu. But, this is the only keyboard and case unit that does the rotate thing, as far as I know.

In short, not safely. This folio is designed to open in landscape orientation. The hinge only rotates one way, making the whole thing open like a netbook or laptop. The iPad half of the case is attached to the keyboard along the entire spine, so to speak, so there is no other way to rotate the iPad so long as it is in the case. According to at least one online review, it is possible to take the iPad out of the case and lean it in portrait mode against the back of the folio when open. I can't imagine that the manufacturer would recommend doing so, especially since that would leave the iPad unsecured and the back of the case itself (the part designed to hold the iPad, not the keyboard) is just bendable plastic. To the best of my knowledge, the only keyboard folio that allows you to rotate the iPad in its case so you can type with the tablet in either orientation is the Versavu made by Targus. Just be sure to read the reviews on the latest model (for the iPad Air), as the quality of the materials looks and reportedly feels cheaper than previous incarnations. Some keyboard covers permit portrait orientation as well, though most not as well as landscape. This is likely due to the fact that the iPad has magnets along its long sides but not the short sides, so it cannot be secured magnetically in portrait mode.

If you remove the keyboard you will not be able to have the iPad remain at a viewing angle. It would simply lie flat at that point.
