No. This stand is cheap and flimsy. It wobbles every time you touch the iPad. Don't waste your money. Spend a little more and buy a sturdier one.

Any iPad, even one with a fairly thick case should work fine with this stand. I took a physical look at my stand last night and while I don't have a case on my iPad when I use it with the stand in question, it looks like about an inch-long rubberized bottom, so that should be more than enough to accommodate your iPad within your case using this stand. If not, and you are buying it through Amazon, returns are fairly easy.

The ipad mini stands well on the horizontal position, it's great for watching movies or just to leave it like that standing. The vertical position less cool looking but is stable none the less. I had the same concerns as you, but I have had the case since june this year and it works fine.

Not very well, no. the inside of the case is covered with light weight felt. So, if the iPad is had a steep angle it will hold up. If it is at a flatter angle, say 30 degrees it slips down. I usually place my iPhone in front of the iPad on the felt with I don't have the keyboard there for support. On another note, the keyboard works very well and the batter life is crazy good. I used it lightly, perhaps, once a day for 30 minutes an the unit did not need a recharge for 6 months. Crazy. Altogether I am very happy with the purchase. The case is super thin and lightweight. As solid value.

I have two of these stands. I use them for my iPhone 5s and my iPad Mini. It works great for both. The stand is made of sturdy and somewhat heavy metal (aluminum maybe) but I'm not certain the base is wide enough for the full size iPad. (Note: I had to bend the stand slightly to allow enough clearance for the lightening connector and charging cable.)

If you turn it so that its wider than taller (if that makes sense) you shouldn't have an issue (at least I haven't had one). But if it's sitting the "normal" way (where it's taller) you may have more issues with it falling over. I just use it where it's on its side the most. Most apps will turn with the iPad so there's no big issue

I have found that if you place the opened keyboard on back face in a phone or tablet stand that it is much more stable and prevents it from falling over. Even the cheap plastiic stands will work. I can now even place the keyboard with the stand on my leg, while sitting down, without it falling backwards. I love the keyboard, but am stiil trying to find a work around for when it times out and trying to get it connected to the bluetooth again.

Hi. I actually just tried it to see what would happen. I'm not sure if I need you to sign some kind of agreement that you won't sue me if something bad happens to your laptop but here goes anyway. Now not sure if you saw my review but I give you fair warning that I'm not entirely sure I put the stand together correctly. However it holds paper so seems to be right. I only say this because I saw a response that said you can't tilt the desk (top) all the way back but I can. So I either assembled it wrong or that person is wrong. Anyway I was able to to tilt it totally level and put my laptop on it (I have a 15in macbook). It's sturdy in the middle where the stand joins the top but it's a bit wobbly from side to side. However it bore the weight without anything happening (I only tested it for about a minute). I think it's a little risky because there's nothing keeping it on the stand if someone were to ever accidentally knock into it. And again it is wobbly from side to side. I think you could risk it but I wonder if there's something slightly better out there for that purpose. Honestly my vote is that it's wobbly enough to make me too uncomfortable. Do you have iPad? That would work perfectly with the stand in the correct position.

You'll have no problem holding any iPad because it is not a secure rest. Your pad is just propped on the stand. If you move around a lot this holder is not the best. I love it for it's many angle possibilities and it easily holds the pad vertically or horizontally.

I've never had trouble with it on my lap, the bed or anywhere I've put it. The memory foam in it seems to mold to whatever it's put on. I use it in bed lying down & sitting up every day/night. The bracket makes it more upright for lying down or more tilted for sitting up. It has a lip for holding in the iPad but no bracket per se. I have my iPad in a "Gumdrop" case & it stays on the stand well. It is not held onto it so I am careful if I am moving it so it doesn't fall off. I am very happy with this & would definitely get another one!

The I-pad snaps into one side of the case. (There are holes to charge the pad without removing it.) The other side of the case holds the keyboard, but the keyboard can be removed and used without the case. The bottom of the case can be used to prop up the pad for desktop viewing even when the keyboard isn't in it. It can hold the pad at different angles, but at low angles, it will tip over unless the keyboard is there as a counterweight. The keyboard uses a different plug for charging (bummer). The keyboard holds a charge for several hours, but I don't know the maximum. BTW, the case is tough plastic with a 'leather' finish, but no-one would confuse it with leather.

Get a 9 or 10" tablet, this is too small for vision problems as I see it. Of course if you hold it horizontally you can get bigger text than vertically but surfing is difficult if you have to enlarge. A larger tablet would be better.

This is a VERY sturdy stand that folds down flat enough that it will easily fit in pocket or purse, and sturdy enough that it would take a LOT for anyone to break it. I'm not familiar with the iPad Air, so... if it's a computer, then I would not recommend this stand. However, if it's a Tablet, then yes, it would work well for the majority of Tablets. Most people choose to type with the screen horizontal (for better viewing) and I think that's the best position, however, it will work vertically as well. Keep in mind, the stand is not adjustable for different angles. or reference, I have 2 Barnes & Noble Nooks (one is a 7 inch; one is a 9 inch), and it works well with both. Measurements for the stand are: 3 6/8" vertically (from the rest notch), and 2 3/4" wide. Hope all this info helps.

Never had the reflex case break and we use it in a retail environment with iPad as check-out terminal. Stand works ok, but understand stand is plastic. Some people might be treating it rough, anything will break if you mishandle it enough. We have dropped the iPad in case off counter a few times it saved iPad so I'm happy.

Hi! The stand is quite sturdy. I've had no problems with it. I use it on my lap, and it's fine. The keyboard will fall off if you let the bottom fall down, etc., but if you're just sitting there typing, it stays in place.

Hey Jeff, it depends on the angle of the screen. If you have it on the first notch, it will most likely fall over. I always used the second notch and I laid on the bed and used it frequently. It rarely fell over. If you push too hard on the iPad selecting things, it may fall over, but if you just are typing, it will work good. I like the case. I will say that the magnets hold much better than other designs.

I have a fairly thick silicon skin on my iPad and they don't work with it. To be honest I don't put them together to use the keyboard. I'll type with the keyboard and walk around leaving my iPad on a table. I also will sit at a table typing and prop my iPad where I can see it. I enjoy having the flexibility. I was kind of annoyed about it at first but it doesn't bother me.
