when you hold the mini in portrait mode, does the edge of case move?

My experience has been that the case never moves. It makes the mini a little easier to hold due to the friction across the back.

No the case is pretty tight to the mini . It's safe a secured , I love this case it's a good deal

Yes it does click. Also I can't fit the iPad mini in the case. It just doesn't fit.

Not sure why the three below are having issues. Both of the cases I have will stand up in Landscape and the Portrait position. Just make sure the kickstand is all the way out.

Not specifically, I mean you can set up the stand and put it up-down, though then its not at an angle. What I prefer though is the hand hold, there is the elastic hand strap that I end up using all the time to comfortably use it to rest in my hand in the portrait mode.

You have to position the hard case just right to keep it from interfering with the lock button. If you do have an issue with the screen not locking, the case is not on exactly right. I had to reposition mine and now it is perfect. This is the best case I've ever had.

no, ,it pivots out of the way to use the camera, but remains attached to the main body of the case

There is a noticable "detent" at both portrait and landscape positions. It doesn't lock, but it will stay put.

It pops out easily if you sort of flex the right hand corner bracket (bottom right of the iPad Mini in portrait orientation. Problem: if you accidentally flex the left hand corner bracket by the power button, the bracket breaks around the tab for the power button. Then, the iPad will still secure in the brackets, but slide down more easiliy.

If you get it positioned perfectly, it is almost identical to the display. There is less than 0.5mm difference on all 4 edges. This allows the Mini to snap into a case with no interference.Hope this helps.

Yes it does for me. I have always used it sideways (portrait-mode, long side horizontal) and I have been using it for a year now. Fortunately I do not face the problem of swiveling like others did. It does move slightly on its own but not much.

Yes, it is. When you are facing the camera in the landscape mode, the camera is to the right. Judging from case design, I think there was no other way to do it. If it was perfectly centered, it looks as if if would be too close to the stylus pen should you have one in the slot. The case does not interfere with the camera operation, though.

If you push the top right corner, then the bottom left corner would have to come forward in order to flip anything over. That just doesn't happen with such deep grooves in the base. If anything, you'll just slide the stand back if you push too hard in landscape mode...or knock the whole thing over in portrait mode (and you'd *really* have to be abusive for that to happen).

not with the smart cover attached...the case has the smart sleep lip attatched to it which is cool. when i got mind i inserted my mini at 95% battery life and a week later i open it and it was at 80% so i think its holding its power pretty good. Hope that helps

Only used it in landscape mode, but with the top clip to hold the phone in I am pretty sure you can use it in portrait mode. I used it with very thin case and it held phone secure.

I clip mine without rotating the clip, otherwise it will stick up, but the edges are rounded so no big deal either way. Had this case for over 3months now and still like it a lot

That I don't know for sure as I don't like the retina display so I searched for one without. It's just that the angleOf the top that you snap the iPad into does not adjust easily. The minis are the same size so I don't think the display type has anything to do with how the case performs..

No though it is a little snug so the first couple times you may need to put a liittle force behind it. Just to confirm the screen faces in not out.
