Does the snap on the back of the case prevent it from laying flat on a surface without rocking, etc.?

No, it doesn't rock it lays flat to the surface it's on. The only issue that I've had with the case is that it makes the ipad mini a little bulky, beyond that it's been a great case/protection for the device.

Not if you lay it snap side up when closed or do not try to tuck it under when propped open

The snap turns out to be on the "front" side when opened. You can see the tab with snap in the pictures.

the only issue to me, is the snap. Its kind of a distraction when unit is opened. You can fold it under though.

Yes, absolutely. I have it laying flat most of the time. Just simply flip the cover back like a book.

There is a similar thin plastic cover that snaps into place, and while I haven't tested it with anything heavy like a phone, it does stay in place when shook around/held upside-down.

It lies flat - and not only that, since the little flap closure also folds back and is magnetic, it can be folded back over the top cover (or underneath it) to secure the cover. I use it that way when making or receiving a phone call, when charging the phone, or when using the GPS etc. And no, it is not bulky unless you stick several credit cards or whatever in the slots (which I do not). Strangely enough, I do not use the feature that lets you prop the phone up sideways at all, but that's simply my personal preference.

No. It's flat on th bottom n it is stable because it's a silicone based product.

In a way it does. The silicon part of the case surrounds the edge of the screen. So if the phone falls on its face, it won't fall flat on the screen. The silicon cushions its.

I have used the front cover to get the iPhone on landscape mode, but not in a way where the cover is flat on a surface and one angles the iPhone to rest on it. I just fold the cover back to about 1/2-3/4 of an inch from the back of the iPhone to stabilize it. And voila! Its on landscape mode on my desk and it is stable. I love this Kavaj case!

No. I've set mine on another 4U case and it's fine. I don't think it would move around or scratch anything though.

There is a slight bevel where the two mesh plates join. But nothing that would prevent something from lying flat on it.

No, there is a slight up-curve or ridge around the edge of the plate to keep things from sliding off.

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

Yes it does... the sides are not high, but it does keep things from sliding about.

I noticed it a couple times but i had the opposite problem on the Airbender 2.0 where the case does not close. If you're carrying this in your hand a lot, I'd prefer to have to fidget with the release than have it flopping everytime I move.

Yes, if it gets knocked over or isn't on a flat surface it has a thing on the bottom that shuts it off.

Does this case snap on? Well, yes, but don't expect an audible, 'Plastic' sounding click. This case has a snug fit, and you can feel it 'snap' into place, but since the case is semi flexible you won't hear it. Rest assured though, that the case will stay in place until you WANT to take it off. Hope this helps.

Yes it snaps on and off. The problem is that when the table top is tilted so one can use it to put a lap top the lap top slides off over the rim of the table.

No. This case is almost completely flat. There's a slight raise, just enough so that the screen doesn't touch whatever it laying on it turned over. Hope this helps!
