I am wondering what this looks like as a case. Does it fold on top of the iPad and act as a case?

It connects to the Ipad with a magnetic hinge and opens like a book. It acts like a case sort of but I would not use it as a stand alone case since it does not form a very secure fit.

The keyboard attaches on one side using the magnetic features of the ipad, and that side has a hinge which allows the keyboard to fold over the display and act like a cover. It is very easy to carry when closed in this fashion. The keyboard/lid is swung open and "unhooked" from the magnets in order to be used, typically by placing the ipad horizontally or vertically in the keyboard holder as shown in the pictures.

Only connects on the side and covers the top, doesn't cover the back. It is not like a clam shell, if you want to fold it under, you have to take it off. We didn't really care for them seemed more a pain and stopped using them. If they were more like the one they make for the iPad mini, that is a true clam shell, it would be a lot better.

Kind of. You have to take the iPad and the keyboard apart, lay the iPad face down on the keyboard, then there is the flat metal magnetic bar that flips over the iPad. So one side of the "case" would be the actually iPad itself. I returned mine or I'd take a picture.

Nope, it's just a stand. And if your I Pad is in a case, like mine, the depth of the slit in the stand isn't that great. It will stand up but you have to balance it carefully and make sure it's secure. I still think it was worth it, tho. Hope this helps.

Yes, I use it both ways. It doesn't latch on to the iPad, it just acts like a stand. Some people may think it is a little bulky, but I like the feel and sturdiness of it. It folds practically flat for traveling. It's one of the best stands I've used, and I'm very happy with it.

No it's just a foam case surrounding the iPad. I recommend getting a screen protector on it first.

No it does not come with a case. The stand does fold down to be pretty compact though.

It fits fairly perfectly on a bare iPad. I have not tried it with a case but I can imagine what type of case would work. The keyboard came with a screen cover to protect the screen.

It doesn't encase the iPad. When it is closed, it covers the screen. The back of the iPad is still exposed. Have a look at the Belkin Ultimate if you want something more protective.

No it doesn't. It is just propoed on a small hinge that props up. The hinge itslef is secured magnetically when propped up, but not the iPad itself. There's a secondary hing that does attach the iPad, but that only works when the iPad is folded on top of it.

You cannot fold it under the iPad but it detaches like the Smart Cover very easily for when you want to use the iPad on its own. To type you detach the magnetic cover and can place it in the keyboard slot horizontally or vertically as you like. I personally think this case is the best value for the money (and I've searched around a lot). This model from sharkk is also pretty new!

the answer is no it is part of the case itself. the ipad or mini slides into the case

I've found that if you use the cover as a stand it will prop up the iPad, but I normally do not use it that way because of the glare produced by the lighting in the room. So to answer you question, yes it does act as a stand, and very well at that, but I would recommend only using the stand in a room that will not produce a large glare.

Yes it can flip over completely flat to hold as a book. The cover quality is good. I believe this one of best available through Amazon. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good cover fir iPad device.

Its like a laptop now. Ipad pops in the inside of top and it is hinged to close up like a laptop

The keyboard becomes a case. It does that tricky magnetic thing against the edge of the iPad and closes like a book. That being said, it is still just a magnet so you have to be careful but so far it has worked great for me.

Yes, that's the iPad I have. There is no top cover so the surface is exposed which you should be aware of in the event that's an important feature for you. I put my iPad back into a case that has a cover to protect it. As you can see from the photo, a cover would be really awkward to deal with if you're walking around or standing and talking. I have not found any one cover or case that fits all the needs for a tablet.

No. It exactly fits the profile of the iPad without a case. I have one of those heavy duty screen protectors which works OK.

It doesn't come with a cover or case. It folds up pretty flat. It doesn't have a handle and is a little awkward to carry with one hand, but is easy with two hands.
