Can you type on the keyboard when both (keyboard &amp; iPad) are laid out flat or does the iPad have to be angled upright?

The Airbender 2.0 does open up completely flat. You can also disconnect the upper and lower portions of the case, which opens up even more possibilities, or disconnect the top half ot the case entirely from the hinge, so you don't have to take the iPad out of the case if you want to ditch the keyboard altogether for tablet use.

The magnets on the Ipad hold the cover on but it does NOT have a latch or anything to keep the two sides together. As long as it is laying flat or you are hold it, no problem. I do love the keyboard!!

Your iPad is propped up by the magnetic keyboard, so moving the keyboard enables you to adjust your iPad's angle.

You can remove the keyboard and keyboard arm easily so that the iPad can be used independently of the keyboard. The hard plastic case remains on the back of the iPad and there is a screen protector on the front.

No, but the natural tilt is pretty flat. I still love this keyboard. Haven't thought much about the angle. Two other options for ergonomic help are Dragon Nat Speaking and foot pedal mouse and to a less extent touch screen monitor.

I just rotate my ipad and put it on top of the keyboard with the back of the ipad on top of the keyboard. It isn't flat but it works for me..

I was maybe wrong. At the top of the keyboard is a groove that the iPad sits in so the screen "stands up". IF you had a stylus that wasn't too big around, it could possible be stored there for transport, but not when the iPad is being "upstanding". Hope this helps.

Yes, the keyboard and iPad are totally independent. I personally prefer using the notch on the keyboard tray, but the other night my wife was holding the iPad and I was typing on the keyboard across the room.

The keyboard is magnetic so you can use the iPad either way. I am so glad I decided to buy this!

The Ipad fits into a slot on the keyboard. There is no angle adjustment that I have found.

The best typing position for this product is when in flat position. When in one of the other positions it is about a 50 degree angle. This is a really great case for me but I don't do a major amount of typing. Mine is mostly for leisure use.

I have found that if you place the opened keyboard on back face in a phone or tablet stand that it is much more stable and prevents it from falling over. Even the cheap plastiic stands will work. I can now even place the keyboard with the stand on my leg, while sitting down, without it falling backwards. I love the keyboard, but am stiil trying to find a work around for when it times out and trying to get it connected to the bluetooth again.

Yes. When the two are together it works like a book and the iPad can flip around 180 degrees and lay on the keyboard. When you no longer want to use the keyboard it can be removed (just turn Bluetooth off - switch is on the keyboard) and you're ready to go. Just remember when you do this the front of your iPad is no longer protected. It's still in the top case but the bottom (keyboard) has been removed. Hope this answers your question. :-)

The iPad attaches to the keyboard magnetically. When you fold it back so that it lies flat, it loses the magnetic connection. In other words, it will not be secured to the keyboard. The good news is, the iPad attaches and detaches from the keyboard very easily.

Typing, yes; reading and using? That depends. The stand is limited to one angle which is a bit steep for full upright lap use and just a tad shallow for fully reclined use, as far as I am concerned; I tend to not need the keyboard in bed and I just remove it. The iPad mini itself is pretty stable in the groove though; if you tilt it more than about 35 degrees backward or about 20 forward it will start to fall out. It's more steady than the larger iPad version physically because the mini center of mass is lower and it fits pretty snug in the groove.

If you held it in front of you sideways, the keyboard would point at 3 o'clock, and the iPad would point at 11 o'clock. I don't have issues with the viewing angle at all. Hope that helps!

Yes you definitely can. The case that covers the iPad swivels 360 degrees and can fold flat over the keyboard.
