can you use it without the pen, just like a regular ipad with your finger?

Hello Laura, thanks for your question. Yes you can use your finger. This is a case for an iPad. checkout this video.http://youtu.be/fYfgziMTZvI

Yes you can, and honestly its one one of the highly recommended product, in addition to ipad 1 i was also able to use this with ipad air.

If you can download notability, definitely yes. I use notability on my iPad and take notes using my stylus. The stylus is much better than taking notes with your finger and worth the extra cost

yes you can. I had a stylus so I cannot tell you which is best. I use a mini and one that came with my case.

You don't switch, you just use they pen or your finger whichever you prefer.

No, just use the pad directly on the iPad surface, as indicated in the image!

Yes. You can take it out of the case & use it like a regular tablet. The keyboard interface works really well but the keys are a little small if you're doing a lot of typing. You get used to it.

We didn't need one since the tablets are touch. It does come with a "pen" but it doesn't work with my tablet.

I have a pen with a special soft point on the back end that I use as a stylus, but I usually use my finger. I may not be answering your question because I do not really use the tablet for much more than reading and podcasts.

Yes, you can type on the keyboard when both are laid out flat. There is no special position that the iPad have to be in in order for you to use the keyboard.

Probably not. From my experience and from doing a lot of reading it appears that TPY models that ship without a stylus also lack the digitizing screen. Further, the slot that is supposed to hold the stylus is filled with a dummy stylus that cannot be removed.

Yes Matt, as long as you have adjusted the metal arm coming from the keypad so the iPad rest in the slot, it is fine.Also if you have access to a table, using the metal arm with the iPad and the keypad separate works great too. Hope that helps.

No, you will have to use a capacitive stylus. It gets the job done in One Note but no palm rejection. I agree you can't beat a digitizer pen.

Unfortunately we have not tried usuing the stylus while using the keyboard. But we have been able to move within the screen by touch with no problem, I would think you could use the stylus.

Do not use stylus attached on my I Pad. Contact the company at support@techmatte.com.

Yes - if the pen is near the screen it will be the only input accepted. And if the keyboard is folded all the way around it will no longer accept input either - so you dont have to worry about bumping those while its in 'tablet mode.'

No you cannot. Due to the size difference of the original iPad vs. The iPad mini.

Not on my version but perhaps a current model has that. Between the onscreen touch and the keyboard, many users wouldn't need a stylus.
