Can the cover be folded flat against the back (flat and not springing open) to allow holding the tablet in one hand?

Yes. You can fold the cover back and hold it one handed or it folds into a stand. I like the cover very much, not bulky and protects the tablet nicely.

yes you can, well if you hold it with your hand and keep pressure on it so it will be 100% flat against the back of the note 8. it is made to be bend in order to put it standing on its owns, so it kind of crease a little bit and it is not flat 100% against the back, but holding it with you hand it won't be a problem. I recommend you to buy it, it is worth the money, nice looking and very useful.

Yes it can. There isn't a holding strap or anything but it seems fine to me that way.

Yes, the cover can be folded back without straining the leather. It fits perfectly and looks GREAT!

Yes, it is. You can take iPad out of grooves and lay flat or fold cover backwards to lay flat. It adds some bulk to the iPad, but the cover is very versatile.

the flap does not fold completely flat. the flap has a crease about an inch and a half in from the spine. when folded back, the spine also folds back. So there is an angle from the spine down to the crease. As a result about 2/3 of the flap folds flat. If you're right handed it's basically flat. If you're left handed, there's like a half inch extra thickness as it angles down from the folded back spine. The magnets do nothing to hold the flap when folded back. They only hold the flap when closed. The also trigger the auto sleep mode when closed. Not the best case if you're concerned about bulk but your tablet definitely won't fall out. Holds it very sung for sure.

Yes the front of the cover can be folded 180 degrees all the way back under the iPad no problem, it is flexible but sturdy.

No, the front folds around but the spine part doesn't fold flat. Instead the spine just folds 180 the other way. The front cover has another fold that makes it mostly flat when holding with the right hand. On the left side there is a triangular space between the spine and that off center fold on the front cover. Basically the back is 3/4 flat when folded back with a 1/4 area that is thicker since the spine doesn't fold flat. Gives a thicker area to hold on the left if you want that. However if you lay it flat, the left side would be raised up a 1/2 inch or so.

Yes, the cover is flexible enough to fold backward, but I rarely use it this way.

It can be folded back. It cannot however be used as a stand. This is a very nice cover for the price & it is always on my NOOK Tablet. It has a slip pocket on the inside of the cover where I store a cleaning cloth & a 32GB microSDHC Card.

Yes. With or without the keyboard, the cover folds flat. Make sure you turn it off first or you will get interesting results.

Not really. It is more like a book cover, it doesn't actually close . I like it a lot because its weight is negligible yet it protects the tablet. I highly recommend it.

The cover does fold all the flat against the back however it will not magnetize that way. The magnetic close is when the cover is closed to the front.

Yes, I can fold mine back easily to hold in one hand. Folded back is how I use it 95% of the time. It's pretty comfortable texture for your hand too, not slippery, or hot, or weird.

No, it only lies flat or is hand held. However, the material is grippy and your tablet stays in place very well if you are propping it up against something else.

Yes, it can fold completely flat against the back; no, it does not magnetically adhere to the back. It is a bit difficult for me when trying to read, because it does not adhere. It is not bad, but I believe there must be better designs for this issue. The price is excellent and the price is good for the product. I do love how easily it opens and how easily it closes - and automatically goes to sleep.

Yes, the cover can easily be flipped open with just one hand. It is magnetized, but still easy to open.

Yes, it will fold completely flat against the keyboard. This is a big improvement over the previous version of this, because the previous version had a hinge, so you could never lay the tablet completely flat.

It has spring type adjust to hold tablet so yes, however though it looks stitched it's actually only glued together and fell apart after 2 months. Some dabs of superglue fixed it for another month but then broke again. Ultimately bought better case in end.
