Is the cover hard enough that it won't bend when taking notes on my lap?

The cover is flexible as if there is a thin layer of cardboard within the cover. Hard enough to take notes, but not as hard as a hardcover book. I hope this helps.

firm enough to keep your book and pages in tact, but it is a soft leather that is the casing. You can easily write in it and its great in keeping pages from bending or getting damaged. Not like a traditional hard cover book though. Hope this helps. My daughter loves the journal and I am happy with my purchase. Good luck~

It's a very thin metal that is pretty easy to bend. Depending on how much it needs to curve, you might need to be concerned about scratching up the tablet back if the metal no longer sits completely flush.

I haven't had any problems with mine, it does slightly bend with more pressure but it does fine for me.

I personally would not consider this ideal for writing for extended periods of time. People don't realize this, but this lap desk is actually relatively heavy, sometimes to the point where my 13" MBP is on it and it's all on my lap and feels like its just crushing my legs- maybe I'm just sensitive..At any rate, if you plan on like writing your daily notes on it, then it would be okay for that. But if you're looking for a long term solid option, I would look around at other options first.

The front cover is a very heavyweight paper--the same as what's used as the front and back covers of those divided, 8 1/2 by 11 spiral notebooks students use for note-taking. The cover bends, but it's sturdier than regular paper. The back cover is much thicker--like cardboard--and it doesn't bend. This gives the pad enough support that you could be standing and holding it on your arm and still be able to write easily on it. The back cover keeps it from bending and flopping about like a regular spiral notebook does.

I have not tried to bend it that much. I would be afraid to deform the case. Im sure it would touch end to end though.

Yes, but the best way to do it is NOT how it's pictured. Instead of using the edges as the legs facing towards your lap, fold it so the legs face towards you and allow the middle section (the part that normally allows the iPad to rest against it) to rest on your lap. Much more stable and more comfortable!

The fron/back covers are not quite "soft" or "stiff" but they are bendable .

No. It's too uncomfortable for bending...you definitely won't like the stiff feeling.

It will not bend easily. It's made of (I think) composite cardboard. It's very hard and inflexible.

The clear bars hold the pages back pretty well in all positions. I tried it out with a workbook, and it was fine. A large textbook might not do as well since they tend to have a lot of weight. I'd be more worried about the whole thing tipping over in that case, though!

It is a hard case that snaps onto the computer. You definitely couldn't bend it in half or it would break. I hope that helps!

I've been typing with it on my lap... and itseems to be staying in place without any issue as all. My preference is to have it all on a table, but in a pinch my legs work.

Yes. I have a cover on my IPAD and am using this lap desk while I am writing this.

Hi,I just got mine and love it and haven't had any discomfort with it; however, there is no cushion on the corners but a rubber lip near the edge (as pictured) so the laptop doesn't slip off. It is made of hard plastic with the cushion underneath for lap comfort.
