Can this be easily and seamlessly be used with the iPad sitting in portrait orientation.

I can see no way you can do that, it is designed to work in landscape.It is a good idea that Belkin should consider

No it can't. not a very good keyboard case. mine stopped working after only a few months. then it fell apart.

My experience was good with the ipad air in landscape. Portrait not so good. Also not the best portable solution for a stand the rubber part of the legs break easily but if you mainly use your ipad in landscape and you are keeping it in one location it's a good buy.

I think the iPhone maybe a little too thick, and it would only work in landscape not portrait.

Yes I use it with a iPad 3 in landscape mode all the time. In fact that's how I type on it and set up for my alarm clock. It works great with iPads and is light enough to put in your travel pack

I don't think so. There is a plastic "dial" on the back that is used to rotate the iPad from portrait to landscape. I think this would break if you tried to remove the back.

I haven't had an opportunity to try this yet. I found the base so heavy (which is good for stability) that it didn't suit my needs. I seem to recall you can do this with your iPad in portrait or landscape directions.

Yes, in landscape position. None of the iPads will fit in the portrait position, however that is a moot point since the stand rotates and angles so that a locked, clamped portrait position is possible. Also possible is every conceivable angle imaginable, taking into consideration bed covers, angle of mattress, lumps in blankets and all surfaces I have been able to come up with, including a bathroom sink. It also adds some protection in drops off a desk to a carpeted floor. It is not advertized as a protective device but it has taken some blows for all my past and present iPads on metal objects. Your results may vary. No iPad can be slid in between the clamps, fully extended in the portrait mode, however, once again, a moot point, it doesn't have to do that because of the design of the stand. There is no better stand anyone has come up with.

Yes it can. I mounted mine to the light weight Sunpak 8001 UT tripod and I use it right by my bed all the time. It has made using the IPod a dream. I constantly go between landscape mode and portrait. Most of the time I find myself using landscape because it's easy since the tripod is holding it up for me. With this tripod it is totally flexible as to the mode you use as well as the height and angle of view. I found me a THANG when I mated these two items and I really enjoy my Ipad in bed now. The Nootle is attached via a threaded bolt and you just turn it to get the Ipad in the mode you want. You can rotate it round and round until it is "tight" if you want to. It's just up to you.

Not so much "rotate" as flip it. The iPad can flip over to share with somebody sitting across from you. It's very useful in my husband's landscaping business, he can effortlessly share his ideas with his clients

I looked at the specs for iPad mini and it would only work well for you if strapped it in the portrait position not the landscape position. I have an iPad 2 and I personally only use mine in the landscape position not the portrait position.

I use it all of the time with my regular ipad full size in case. It is too heavy to remain in portrait position but it works fine in landscape. I have learned to position the angle so that the handlebar provides some stability. I would predict it would work fine with the iPad air. Definitely with the money.

No. The display is always portrait orientation. It does not respond to how you hold and turn it.

Yes, absolutely. It's made not to tip over so it works in either portrait or landscape.

It could but it becomes top heavy and can flip the keyboard. Also, the iPad isn't anchored well. You could do it but carefully.

Yes, this is very possible. You will be able to position this is many many configurations. I tested the ability to rotate the iPad face-up, parallel over a work surface and it worked perfectly. The flexible arm is easy to adjust and the iPad holder is very secure. The only downside is that you will likely have to remove your iPad from its case in order to use it in the stand.

It depends on which iPad you are using. Mine will work just fine in either landscape or portrait positions. I have a model MD522LL/A.

Clip designed for landscape but I tried it "portrait" & it is wobbly but it did stay if left alone. But if the table was bumped even a little, the iPad would fall over.
