Does the case and keyboard fold back so you can still hold/use the iPad tablet style?

Yes, but it is bulky. This case looks great and is almost a steal at the price.

If I understand you right, you basically want to know if the keyboard will stay attached and folded with the case closed. The answer is yes. You can keep it attached and folded up with the case closed.Edit:I misunderstood. The person below me is right. There is an elastic band that will hold the keyboard in place. The second to the last picture shows it with the keyboard folded and held with the elastic strap.This is a great case and I recommend it. Only issue is that the pen doesn't connect to the tablet magnetically anymore, but there is a clip on the pen and you can clip it to the case.

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.

Yes, the case and keyboard are a single unit that you slip your IPad in to. It does not stand up well for typing use and it is very, very hard to open. Save your money - don't buy this case!

It does not go all the back. It tilts almost flush to flat with keyboard, but does not fold back to the keyboard.

Yes it is, the keyboard is detachable, via magnetic contacts. When not using it it folds back nicely. Ill be honest though I got more frustration than actual use from it. Great idea, maybe just needs to be refined a bit technologically. It woukd skip letters sometimes and it became annoying.

The iPad attaches to the keyboard magnetically. When you fold it back so that it lies flat, it loses the magnetic connection. In other words, it will not be secured to the keyboard. The good news is, the iPad attaches and detaches from the keyboard very easily.

I only purchased the tablet and case, but not the keyboard. As far as I know, the case is only intended for the tablet itself.

I got the case for my son. The one side has Velcro to hold the tablet and the other side has a few pockets. You can take keyboard off tablet and store keyboard in pocket or fold up keyboard with tablet and it should still fit. I hope this helps.

No. The trough that holds the iPad is a rigid preset item. This actually makes the keyboard and ups much more stable than other iPad cases that flop flat when bumped or not in a flat hard surface. This keyboard works great on a lap or pillow and can be moved around without falling over.

Yes. With or without the keyboard, the cover folds flat. Make sure you turn it off first or you will get interesting results.

Yes, it will fold completely flat against the keyboard. This is a big improvement over the previous version of this, because the previous version had a hinge, so you could never lay the tablet completely flat.

Sort of, yes. You will need to pull the iPad from the grippy hinge and place it back inside in a portrait arrangement. Because the edge grips the iPad tightly, pulling the iPad out to turn it is a bit inconvenient. Supposedly, this case was to have a 'reading mode' design which would have allowed the hinge to fold against the back of the keyboard so you could hold the unit vertically in your hand. Unfortunately, the hinge stops at a maximum angle of 135 degrees which prevents this fold-back arrangement. So pulling the iPad out, turning it and shoving it back into the hinge is the only way to manage portrait mode. So, MD's answer is correct if a bit less explanatory. After messing around with this case more, I now understand how the reading mode is supposed to work. But, it's not what you'd expect. You are expected to pull the iPad from the hinge, flip it around so that it faces upward. Magnets pop out of the hinge to hold the keyboard and the iPad together. Albeit, the magnets alone are not as grippy as the hinge, but at least both pieces are functionally together. Not the best design, but it works when you are simply wanting to keep both together.

The flap does not fold back...it actually has 3 notches that hold the tablet into place so that you can select the level for which your tablet shall lean.

Yes you can. If you fold the keyboard portion around, it covers the back. If you hold the whole thing up like an open book then it is not covered. While it maybe slightly awkward, I haven't found it problematic.

no, keyboard is attached-- however you can fold front flap in and lay tablet down over keyboard if you want it flat and still workable

You can't remove the keyboard but you can fold it back when it's not being used!
