Is this keyboard capable of locking into the open position so that it does not fold in the middle while you are typing?

No it doesn't lock, but I haven't had a problem using it in my lap, etc. I chose this one instead of a rubber roll-up style one for that reason.

This keyboard does not have a locking feature to keep it open. Also, the size of this keyboard would make it impractical to use anywhere except a flat horizontal surface. I do find the keyboard well balanced and unlikely to fold while typing when used on a flat surface.

It does not lock in place. It just comes out and sits there. My wife has been using it with a mouse for 4 months and loves it. She has not noted a problem with it moving while she is typing...She is writer so does a lot of typing. If it were a problem, I'd just make catch for it since it is a solid useful tray as is...Hope this helps. Frank

Yes you can, the middle section is flexible and you can just fold it back, good thing you can take the keyboard out also so it is more comfortable

The case will not fold flat the way I feel that you are describing. In my opinion, this case is only useful in the horizontal stand position. If you just needed a keyboard extension and stand, it's really great. :)

If I understand your question right, the answer is no, or at least not un-awkwardly. Removing the keyboard doesn't seem to serve any useful purpose. If you want it at the MORE-angled position (i.e. not in the more upright, typing position), it will sit rather awkwardly with or without the keyboard. It won't sit securely at all. Again, that's if I'm understanding your question right. (I may not have had enough coffee yet today!)

Unfortunately there is no lock for the swivel on the base. That's actually the reason I switched to the non swivel version. It shouldn't swivel while typing but it will swivel if the stand is bumped at all. Even a gentle bump will cause it to swivel a little.

No lock, and the stand can rotate while you type on it. I use an external keyboard with it; the stand isn't designed for typing on the laptop's keyboard while mounted.

No. You really need to put it on a flat surface to type. It does 'lock' closed with magnets.

You can fold it back if you don't want to use it. I read books with the keyboard folded back.

It does not lock, but there is enough friction that it doesn't usually slide while typing.

No, the shelf does not lock in place. It is stable though. I have not had a problem with moving while I am typing.

Yes. But is hard to get use to... and the keys feel a bit to close to each other. It would take time to get use to. It feels durable, I'm not so careful with my things in my school bag and the keyboard still in tact..

No, it bends right on the middle but is very stable other wise. I love this keyboard I don't know what your looking fore but I really don't have any complaing with its performance. The battery last for days and I am a student so I give it extra use and the keys are very sensitive I love it. Hope this helps you

My handles click and lock when open. It does not lock in the folded position.

Yes. While the case is folded shut you can't use anything because the shell protects the iPad and the keyboard, but when you fold it open the touch screen is unimpeded.

No. That is how I broke it in two places. Be very careful removing the case bc it is very snug. Make no mistake it is a great keyboard. I have heard of ppl sanding down the inside a little to make it easier

You can fold the ipad over the keyboard. It does put the ipad kind of in a slightly awkward position but its not bad.
