Does it lock open so you can use it on your lap?

It does not lock open but I have no problem with it. My laptop keyboard stopped responding so I just lay it on the keyboard and it works fine.

It doesn't lock in the open position. Therefore if you put on your lap, it will semi close unless you put something flat on your lap to put it on (like newspaper or note book.

This keyboard did not connect to my iPod so I returned it. It was supposed to be Bluetooth compatible but it was not. I bought a small nonfolding keyboard that was Bluetooth compatible so I use that.

Unfortunately it does not have a lock. You would have to lock it down with a small pad lock to secure it.

I never use it since the back is open and it can not be used on my lap. I don't use my laptop on my desk so it does not work for me.

There is not a locking mechanism, though a pretty significant amount of force is required to engage the spring. It won't open from jostling in your pocket.

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

I am looking at the Eagle Tech Foldable Keyboard as I write this, and can confirm that it does not lock when placing it upon your lap. I would not recommend using in your lap. However, on a flat surface, it works awesome.

OMG! NO! There is nothing to prevent the legs from telescoping shut all on their own. No locking mechanism. I put a manilla folder on mine with some papers in it, and came back to find one leg collapsed and papers all over the floor. If my 17" laptop had been on this my computer would have been badly damaged! It is flimsy, thin plastic. I do not recommend it for any use whatsoever. Maybe you will have more luck.

No. I tried to put my laptop in it and it pokes out a little. Its made for little things. Nothing that big.

Yes it can be locked. On the inside of the handle is a hasp that will let you padlock the case. Because it is in the middle of the case it does a fair job of securing the case. It would secure the case against small children, but not a determined adult. It is plastic after all is said and done. To sum up, It would keep an honest person honest, but not a thief.

Technically, no. But there's a Velcro in the back that you can open so the laptop can slip al the way thru to the bottom without touching the camera equipment. My iPad fits in the top fine, but I think a 15 or 17 inch lap top would need more space so you'd have to open that compartment. Does that make sense? Maybe I will upload a picture. There doesn't seem to be any online.

yes, it stay closed. i bought smiliar one which stay close with my ipad mini. the side has magnet to connect with the pad, and it's looked like a laptop computer. i gave the full stars by the reviewing.

There is a tab on the bottom that holds an ipad or something of that size up and the top of the Lapgear is held open by an arm, but it would be awkward with the shape of the laptop. That's just for me, however. I just tried my laptop on it, and the weight is supported. As I said, just a bit awkward.

It doesn't lock, but it does stay open. It's very thin - not much throughput.

Yes it will, dont mind it being big at first that is just for you to be able to open and close the laptop properly

It does have a lock and it is on the side of the keyboard and it snaps closed. It says "push" to unfold it.

Yes, it locks. That way the person can sit down on it without it rolling away.

technically no, but on one latch there is a loop where you could put a small pad lock
