Does the kickstand lean the surface a bit further back?

No, it tucks into a tab into the back. It doesn't seem to be a problem when working on a desk.

The kickstand only has one upright position, however, if you flip the tablet upside down you get a lower 45 degree angle. Unfortunately the case is so flimsy that it will try to go flat on you at the lower angel.

It does not lean back much but is good for both reading and if you have a separate keyboard then for typing too. I don't have any problems with it at all

It doesn't seem to be at a bad angle for viewing. I'm not sure how far it is, but I don't notice a glare or have difficulty viewing the screen or using the on-screen keyboard.

No. The kickstand on the folio leans the surface less than the two-way kickstand on the Surface itself. The folio kickstand is perfectly useable for use with the keyboard attached. I only use the folio when traveling to protect the Surface.

It doesn't lean it far at all. But it's really nice when paired with the keyboard

It is a little "stiff" for a small child to operate. I used a vice grip to bend the part that holds the kickstand, but just a tiny bit. It worked much easier after I did this.

Not sure why the three below are having issues. Both of the cases I have will stand up in Landscape and the Portrait position. Just make sure the kickstand is all the way out.

The kickstand is part of the case. When you don't need it, it just folds up on the back. I would not try to just use the rubber case as its fit is not great without the hard shell on top of it.

Hi Pat, I am sorry I don't know. It sort of tips front and back when you stand on it so probably not flat back and forth

I had to try mine out to answer this but on its side, yes. Standing upright (with the bottom being the part of the phone where you plug in the charger), no - it tips over.

Not at all...you should buy it....I'm very happy with it. Actually it's my second one that I bought because I also had one for an older phone....I love it...its good looking and the kickstand isn't delicate it actually is very sturdy

Yes, a light push with your foot and it's up. It's a quality kickstand. For more info see my review with pictures http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R327YQVQ8JUC1B/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00AWNHYWW

I have the kickstand on my Surface and it slides in beautifully. I think this is a great carry case.

I don't feel it is; actually a little thicker than others but light weight and the kickstand is a great feature -- I wish more manufacturers added it; comes in very handy more often than not!

So far both blue and pink cases have withstood my monsters, kickstand is still totally intact. It works a lot better in landscape, it's a bit wobbly portrait but not sure if it's even designed to work portrait.

This unit was a gift to my son who now uses it in his business so I do not have an answer. I do know there are rubber feet used while horizontal. Also, there is a need for cooling that may be affected by standing it. Sorry I could not have been more helpful.

While it will lay nearly flat with the stock "kickstand", mine at least has an issue where the spring it's attached to forces the touch panel too close to the underlying display panel when the monitor is flattened (ie it's slightly bending the touch panel up.) In short I get a "fireworks" kind of touch effect when my finger touches in the center of the screen in the area over where the kickstand meets the back of the monitor; lots of false touches in the area surrounding my finger. It happens when the monitor is tilted beyond about 60 degrees (90 being perfectly flat.)

Both but not great in portrait mode due to the size and position of the kickstand

No, it just has a strip of rubber along the bottom to prevent the tablet from sliding around. The stand has adjustable angles so it doesn't fall over when setup accordingly.

Phone will stand in vertical position although a bit tentative. Don' know what you mean by card and kickstand, sorry.

The kickstand is shown in the picture on the left. The picture on the right is the clip. Phone sits horizontally when on kickstand.
