Can this case be used in the portrait position for reading like a book? TY Due to the replies I have received, I will keep looking. Thank You so much for your help. :)

Only by holding it can it be used in the portrait position, but you can hold the strap to make it easy to use.

Yes, you can hold it in your hand like a book which is normally how I use it. However, if you would like to make it stand (upright like a book) on its own, it is not very sturdy and it will most likely fall in a minute or two.

Yes, the case is very thin, and folds behind so you can hold it like a book easily. best case I have ever used!

It can sit with the screen horizontal, but to me it seems the case was not designed to hold the screen up in the vertical position.

It's my experience that the stand is unstable in the portrait position. The case itself is very functional in the portrait position.

Unfortunately unless it's propped up against something it will not be able to stand in the portrait position for reading. There is only one case for the Kindle fire hd that I have seen that was able to do that and it was made by Targus and for some reason it's not available on Amazon. I seems to be exclusively sold at Best Buy.

It doesn't have a portrait stand but you can hold it in your hands like a book in portrait mode. That's what I have done.

There is only a stand function for landscape mode and it has only one position. But this has worked perfectly fine for me since I'vs had the case. I actually never needed it to stand in portrait mode (yet). The bluetooth keyboard works very well which for me was the most important thing for me.

Maria - Yes, you CAN use the camera with this case since the back cover has a camera hole. However, if you want to use the camera while the front cover is folded tight to the back cover, you cannot use the camera, since the FRONT cover will cover the camera lens. When taking a picture in Portrait mode, I keep the front cover at a 90 degree angle to help keep the iPad steady. When taking a picture in Landscape mode, I just let the cover hang to the bottom. P.S. I love this case because of the solid protection, the nice "grip" when holding the case, and the many standing positions provided. Good Luck!

It stands up in portrait mode as well. Just like a hard cover/copy book. It's a great case, my 1st case & I Love it.

I would have to give the short answer of 'no'. You really cannot "prop it up" for reading, I suppose you could bend the back cover halfway back behind and sit it on a table but I can't see that being a comfortable position to read. This product does a great job of protecting a Paperwhite Kindle and it fits securely. The back cover can easily fold completely behind to be held like that to read. :)

My wife uses one for her Kindle HDX 8.9, but your Yoga is a little bigger and heavier so it certainly wouldn't work in portrait, and probably pretty heavy for it even in landscape.

No, it only stands up horizontally but it is at a great angle for viewing. I realize you are probably thinking about reading books. It isn't quite as good for reading but it isn't really bad, just more page flips. It is a nicely fitting case with good protection though.

Do you mean if it can be placed in stand mode in the portrait position? Not reliably. The two stand modes are for landscape mode

would be a tight fit for a paperback. I tried a kindle in it; technically it fits, but it's a tight fit, and the flap doesn't completely cover it

This is hard to explain so bear with me...So the device goes into a plastic sleeve of sorts and then you can choose to put another plastic lid on top of that to cover the screen. Under that lid is the stand. The stand lays flat until you pull up on the center of it. Then it makes one of these _/\_. One side is good for typing and the other is better for viewing. Unfortunately it does not do portrait mode. I've tried. To close it, you just push down on the center of it again and it closes. Pretty simple.

Yes! Works great in portrait or landscape mode. I use it while reading or playing games so it's pretty stable. Works great with a smart phone too.

You can use the case without the keyboard dock to stand the tablet in Landscape very nicely. In portrait it will stand straight up, but it's not at a good angle. Might post pics if I get a chance....

Kinda sorta. I just tried it with a fairly thin hardcover book and it worked a little. It wouldn't work for me personally because I still had to hold the book open. Maybe if mine was "broken in" with books instead of my Kindle... I dunno. (Sorry I wasn't more helpful)

It's not designed to stand up in portrait mode, but it technically can be done. The screen will be completely vertical and you might knock it over while trying to use the touchscreen.

Not the same as horizontally tilted at an angle as shown in the photo. The ipad cannot rotate in the case, so there is no way to prop it up vertically. You could stand the case on it's side, but your ipad would be completely vertical, not at an angle. If the other reviewer knows how to do it, please explain as I would like to know as well...

That's kind of dependent on what you like. It's basically like reading with a large hardback book. If you don't mind holding a hardback book, then it's fine. I hardly use the stand and don't mind reading without it. I read in the car with no stand, at appointments, in bed, etc.

Not if you want to put it on a table and prop it up to read it "hands free". It only does that in the horizontal position. If you're going to fold the case back and hold it in your hand, that works O. K. I love it anyway. It fits perfectly on my NextBook 8" Tablet.
