does it have to be in this case to use the keyboard

No, the keyboard is separate from case so you could use it next to your device. It only attaches with a magnet inside case. Or you can put your device in the case and use it alone as carrying/protective case. Leave the keyboard behind if you want.

The keyboard inside the case does not need to be charged it just plugs into the tablet that is not included with the case. The tablet (which again is not included with the case) does need to be charged.

No, but you CAN remove the tablet from the keyboard/case, and then you can definitely used the keyboard at a distance from the tablet and still have a functioning system.

It bows out the case with the keyboard in it but they give you 2 screen protectors to keep it from scratching if you choose to keep the keyboard in the case. I personally don't carry the keyboard in the case.

The keyboard is actually a part of the case. It has a mini USB port connection to the tablet. Doesn't connect with Bluetooth, but with the wire.

Yes it can be used without, the case holds the tablet very securely . The strap that holds each half's together still secures very nicely even without the key board .

No, this keyboard does not replace the need for case. The keyboard does connect to the iPad where it can close together, covering the screen of the iPad. However, you cannot use the keyboard while the iPad is in the case being that the case is a bit of an obstruction. I hope this answer helps. Good luck!

Hello, Yes, this will work perfectly fine. The case will not effect the keyboard in anyway.

Yes, the keyboard has 4 magnets on each corner. So you can remove the keyboard from the case.

Sure. The keyboard fits in the case and is held in by the magnetic strips. The only downside to this keyboard is that the keys come off quite easily and I have already lost two of them. Also, be sure to turn it off when not in use because it burns through power fast.

There is another version of the keyboard that comes with a case. Get that one if you need it.

I bought a case with a keyboard and usb connectors and it all works. I am able to use the keyboard and also able to attach a mouse using the USB. I hope this helps.

If you're asking if you can remove the keyboard, yes you can. It hangs onto the case through a magnet so you can always remove it whenever you want

No you can't. The case covers all sides, which won't allow for the keyboard.

Yes. The keyboard case was an excelent option, I didn´t like that it doesn´t have some kind of lock so it can´t open easealy, otherwise is great Thanks
