Can the ipad be used in this in the upright and sideways positions.

It can, but it does not work well for the kindle fire I have, because the button is on the bottom, and it can sometimes turn off.

The answer is yes. Landscape and portrait positions are possible as well as odd lateral angles as well.

Yes, all different angles in either portrait or landscape. I bought this for my father in law and then got one myself and then my sister in law bought one, it's a really great accessory for comfortable use of an iPad or any tablet. I just saw your additional comments it won't prop your ipad diagonally - if I want to lie on my side in bed and read, I lock my ipad in portrait mode then prop the ipad on the stand on its long side - does that make sense?

Sure but while charging you'd gave to have it sideways and not vertical. I'd suggest the many iPhone products

Yes it can be used in vertical position. However the angle of the screen is rather upright.

You can position the iPad in either portrait or landscape positions. I actually prefer the landscape as it makes it easier to use.

I think so. It will have to be in the landscape position. My iPad works in either position.

The top flat portion is adjustable as are all of the joints shown. So you probably could, but you would need to secure the IPad so it wouldn't slide off when at that angle. There are better things I would say for an IPad. Such as IPEVO Perch Desktop Stand for iPad 2 & iPad 4/3 3 - Black (S) And combined with a Bluetooth keyboard, you'd be in good shape

No. The iPad sits in a trough like groove in the keyboard and it is a static angle and a rigid structure. I have found this very nice as the whole thing does not flop flat or slide apart if I set it on my lap or move it around while using it.

Yes. The tablet holder can be flipped over to face either direction. It also pivots so can be faced in any direction.

Yes. You can move the iPad from horizontal to vertical without moving the tripod.

You can but it is not very effective because it is at a straight upright position. The horizontal works very well.

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...

Yes. It can hold the iPad vertical or horizontal. You can also adjust the angle so that you can get the image you want.

No, it would be too small to be used as intended. The iPad Air works great. Air 2 May be too thin and would need extra support for screen to be responsive.

Probably. You use it with the iPad in the hotizontal position. It extends a bit beyond the screen, but not beyond the iPad. You have to remove it to use the iPad in any way other than the keyboard displayed horizontally.

You can. The one photo within the item listing showed the ipad on top of the keyboard. It doesn't sit flat flat due to the hinge mechanism. However it has been designed to not sit directly on the keys because of raised rubber stoppers. I feel like it works very well even of you're holding it more like a book. Hope this helps.

No. You use the keyboard as a screen protector *instead* of using a case. The iPad fits into a hinged clip on one side of the keyboard, such that you can flip up the iPad into a near-vertical position, as though it were the screen of a laptop.
