Can the built-in stand prop up a regular sized ipad in portrait mode?

No. Not on mine anyway. They might be referring to the little legs that pop out to angle the keyboard for easier typing.

Yes, you can rotate from landscape to portrait. the stand has proven to be very stable.

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

There is only a stand function for landscape mode and it has only one position. But this has worked perfectly fine for me since I'vs had the case. I actually never needed it to stand in portrait mode (yet). The bluetooth keyboard works very well which for me was the most important thing for me.

Yep. You can fold it flat behind, roll it to stand the iPad up more vertically or just prop it up to type on the screen.

Yes, in landscape position. None of the iPads will fit in the portrait position, however that is a moot point since the stand rotates and angles so that a locked, clamped portrait position is possible. Also possible is every conceivable angle imaginable, taking into consideration bed covers, angle of mattress, lumps in blankets and all surfaces I have been able to come up with, including a bathroom sink. It also adds some protection in drops off a desk to a carpeted floor. It is not advertized as a protective device but it has taken some blows for all my past and present iPads on metal objects. Your results may vary. No iPad can be slid in between the clamps, fully extended in the portrait mode, however, once again, a moot point, it doesn't have to do that because of the design of the stand. There is no better stand anyone has come up with.

Not specifically, I mean you can set up the stand and put it up-down, though then its not at an angle. What I prefer though is the hand hold, there is the elastic hand strap that I end up using all the time to comfortably use it to rest in my hand in the portrait mode.

I would also be interested to know if you can dock the iPad in landscape mode

No, it doesn't swivel. As a stand it works primarily in the landscape mode. You can rest the iPad in portrait mode only at 90 degrees or flat or hold it at the angle you want.

Yes and No. You can install ''almost'' anything (not everything) that runs in portrait mode, you would just have to tilt the pc up into portrait mode. It has no G-sensor, so it doesn't know which way its facing. I have had some programs, that run in portrait mode, that wouldn't even install. And since the kickstand will only hold the pc up in Landscape mode, you'll have that to deal with. I hope this helps.

Nancy, I wouldn't trust it to handle an iPad in portrait position. It has a release system that allows the user to remove the iPad holding assembly from the arm and gravity holds it in place. It simply involves pegs sliding into slots and then pushing it down to the bottom of the slot. While it works perfectly for landscape positioning, it might be tempted to slip out of the slots as gravity might work against it at the wrong angle.In summary, no, I would not recommend holding a precious iPad in portrait mode with this unit.

The IPAD holding part doesn't rotate so this case wouldn't be good for portrait use.Larry Cruzen

I don't see why not - if you look through the product pictures that Amazon has provided, it seems like the second one they show is holding what looks to me like a 7-inch Android tablet. By the way, it's on sale at Best Buy right now for $12.99. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+FlipBlade+Adjust+Stand+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iPad%26%23174%3B+2+-+Silver/Gray/2824316.p

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 http://www.amazon.com/IPEVO-Perch-Desktop-Stand-iPad/dp/B0068YRPDC And combined with a Bluetooth keyboard, you'd be in good shape

Yes. When folded, the cover will support the iPad in landscape orientation.

Yes. It stands up perfectly in portrait position. I watch videos with the book cover in portrait position.

The version I have does not come with a stand that can pivot 90 degrees into portrait. So if you buy this one, bear in mind the default configuration is landscape.
