does the flap at the bottom get in the way of the keyboard when typing? Is there a way to make it flat?

No it does not. It's actually a thin piece of leather and lays flat on the surface you're working on...it doesn't stick up like in the picture here. I usually fold it back under the keyboard actually and it's completely out of the way.

The picture is not accuate, as there is no flap. The flap is located at the top of the case and itdoes block the camera, butyou just push it back out of the way. There is a platform that the keyboard rests on, but I usually fold it back and use it as a rest for the backstand.

True! The cover interferes with the internal magnets of the surface and the type cover. This means that when it is attached the surface cannot be used for inclined typing. WHY ARE NO REVIEWERS SEEING THIS?

No. To type with the keyboard it should be on a flat surface, with the iPad mini in place.

You can fold it all the way back, and hold it. Otherwise, you can let it dangle while typing, and it will not be in the way.

the flap does not fold completely flat. the flap has a crease about an inch and a half in from the spine. when folded back, the spine also folds back. So there is an angle from the spine down to the crease. As a result about 2/3 of the flap folds flat. If you're right handed it's basically flat. If you're left handed, there's like a half inch extra thickness as it angles down from the folded back spine. The magnets do nothing to hold the flap when folded back. They only hold the flap when closed. The also trigger the auto sleep mode when closed. Not the best case if you're concerned about bulk but your tablet definitely won't fall out. Holds it very sung for sure. the flap does not fold completely flat. the flap has a crease about an inch and a half in from the spine. when folded back, the spine also folds back.

One edge of the pad is straight, and the other is curved. You can flip it around so the curved edge is against your curved keyboard, but otherwise it is not adjustable.

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

The keyboard is flat but the keys are slightly raised, and comfortable type with.I still love my case and keyboad.

Unfortunately, no, not really. The bars that are supposed to support the underside of the keyboard are too long to fit in the grooves, so that you either have the keyboard wanting to flip over away from you, or flip over towards you. I am likely exaggerating how unbalanced it is, but nevertheless, with its tendency to slide on the stand, it can become a real issue.

The keys are hard but if you have your keyboard on an uneven surface (ie: on your lap) the board will bend a little which seems to result it adding extra letters when typing. That being said, it works great on a flat surface.

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

This keyboard does not lock in the open state. However, it does have the solid bottom piece under the keyboard. Therefore, if the underlying section (the width of it folded in half) is supported than you can type with it. But putting it between your legs, for example if you are on the couch or a recliner...it will fold up if the gap between your legs is wider than the bottom.

Yes, but you might want to remove the keyboard or just make sure it's turned off as to not accidentally type while holding. But the front of the case can be folded back like any other.

Hi there, yes this is very normal... they made this as thin as they could ..but they still have that space. You will get used with after more typing on it. Trust me :) this is the best that you can get on the market. And remember all of these covers are only for protection not to increase your typing speed or to be used like a normal keyboard.

it has rubber like pads on top to keep the keyboard from faling off of it. I like itthe only one I can find that would give me leg room, and I have 88 key Keyboardyou can adjust the width to any keyboard and the height. You can slide the keyboardaround, but some resistance, I can't find any other one like this for sale, so I am happy with it.works 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!)

yes. The keyboard is actually built into the bottom of the case...it is really cool!! :)
