How is the cover as a tablet stand? Will it firmly hold its angled support? I am afraid it will open up the angle and level a tablet. Thanks.

The cover bends in a similar fashion to a paper clip in that, in how you bend it is how it will retain it's shape until you bend it back. I used it to hold my Dell Venu 8 and it works very nicely. The entire package, keyboard cover and even the box is comes in is very surprisingly nice quality for the price.

It only stands horizontally. It does not rotate like cases from other tablet brands.

Only on a flat surface and it stands straight up, not at an angle. Hope this helps!

I personally don't own an ipad so haven't tried it, but it's quite study, it should hold it fine. You'd need a very strong wind to knock both the stand and tablet over.The stand is great and very light. The one drawback is that it doesn't fold to a size small enough to fit in a backpack or instrument case, the folded stand is still kind of long and can't be disassembled further.

The tab that you can see at the bottom edge of the image where the tablet is facing you is slightly curved and rigid though still just leather (or whatever exactly is the material). It hooks over the top of the tablet and mine is snug enough that it takes a little pry maneuver to open but not so snug you need to use two hands. I haven't worried at all about it coming open but I also don't lug it around much.

I've found that if you use the cover as a stand it will prop up the iPad, but I normally do not use it that way because of the glare produced by the lighting in the room. So to answer you question, yes it does act as a stand, and very well at that, but I would recommend only using the stand in a room that will not produce a large glare.

This case does not really allow for multiple angles. The edge of the case is thick enough and quite "skid-proof" so i have found that i can prop the top (long) edge of it up with anything that is a half inch up to about two inches tall without the tablet slipping. I have used my cell phone and a package of graham crackers (I have a 1 yr old son) along with many other things to prop my tablet up a little to make typing a little easier.

Yes, but only in the straight upright position. It's not designed for this angle, but if you open the cover halfway, it will stay up. Mostly.

It uses magnets (and my tablet "sleeps" when it detects that it has closed). For the folding...yep, completely folds closed and open (and into a "tall" and "short" stand).

Turn the cover back to the Ipad. It folds become a stand to support Ipad. I like center seal and both side like triangle. They have lots function to become supporting stand.

The groove isn't for standing up tablets. It's more for pencils and pens. It is a very shallow groove that wouldn't support/hold up the tablet.

There is nothing to hold the top edge of a tablet locked into place. The tablet wobbles when poked as would happen when playing a game or typing. Possibly this would be not be significant with light touch.

I've not had that problem. The adjustable back support with gripper pad and the notches for the tablet to sit in on the base, make it very stable. Love it. Use it daily.

Interesting. I haven't had any problem with it. I just press one side of the clear cover and pivot it up. Pressing on both side makes it a bit more challenging.

Yes, it has a portrait angle it just is not set up as a stand. There is a band that holds the tablet in place and you can use the palm band on the reverse side. Look in the picture on the top right.

Yes. I found it is not stable with a wide-format tablet stood on the narrow end when in the low angle position only.

I place the tablet in the landscape position and it holds fine. I use it extensively for drafting papers and then send them to my laptop via drop box for final editing. It is not a Laptop keyboard, but it is easier to carry and like someone else noted turns the tablet into a net book.
