How difficult is it to take the ipad in and out of the case?

Not at all difficult, however it stays in the case extremely well!!! The best of both worlds.

It's extremely easy. It snaps into place and if you want to take in out, just stick your finger on the side and pop it out.

It's super difficult. I have to pry on one side and pull on the same corner of the case. It almost feels like you are at the point of breaking it.

It takes a bit of effort but it's not too difficult. There are grooves on the back case that help pulling it out, and it's impossible for the phone to fall out.

Be careful removing the ipad from the case. You need to slide it toward the keyboard to remove safely. I pulled upward once when in a hurry and cracked the corner where the plastic tab for turning the pad on and off is located. even with that crack, though, the pad still fits securely in the case.

Very easy. Just pop the iPad out from the top right hand corner and insert your fingers in the opening and pad should pop out. If you don't want the keyboard in all the time, you might need to consider a standard iPad cover for protection. However, Zagg cover provides good protection although some weight is added.

It would take a lot of force for it to come out of the case I would imagine. I actually have a tough time removing it, which is nice.

You could slide it in from the side and then snap on the corners. Or just snap it in place on all sides. It's fairly secure; the iPad has never fallen out. My 12 year old uses it and it has protected the iPad well with the usual bumps and bangs common for kids this age.

I've been doing it by opening the case so everything is facing upward with the latch/ipad on the right (I'm right-handed), holding the latch slightly toward the inside with my right thumb and using the fingers of my left hand to push slightly upward on the back of the top left corner of the case while using my left thumb to snap the corner of the case off of the ipad. Repeat with the lower left corner then reach to the top left again (where the cut-out for the headphone jack is) and lift the ipad out. Mine comes out very easily now but it was probably a bit difficult the first few times :-)

You can not remove the keyboard from the case. As light as it is though, it's not too bulky when flipping the keyboard back to just use the ipad mini by itself.

I had the same question, after inserting my new iPad into the cover. I called Kensington, and they told me this: open the cover, and at the position of the built-in stylusholder there is a "cut-away" area of the tray holding the iPad. You can lift it out from this position quite easily. The iPad is held into the tray quite firmly, but will come outeasily with this method.

The ipad must be out of the case in order for this to work. I repeat... the ipad can not be in any case, no matter how thick or thin.

Not Difficult at all. This case simply snaps onto the phone. To remove you just grab a corner and push from the center on the back of the phone, then the phone pops out! Awesome Case!

I have an Apple smartcase. I could force it to fit into the bracket with the case on, but was afraid the iPad might "pop" out. It's pretty simple for me to take my iPad out, so that's what I do. The iPad then fits very securely into the bracket.

I do think that it is a little hard to get off. But then again, you have the case on the ipad to protect it so there is no reason to take it off often. Once in a while, I will take off the case to clean it off and give it a quick wash.

It can be. Generally the iPad snaps into the case and getting it out can take a bit of prying. But it hasn't been too bad for me to get it out, but I have fairly string fingers (I am the designated jar opener at home). On the plus side, the iPad is secure when it is in the case.

I use this with my ipad, which is housed in a case that opens like a book. I don't have to take the ipad out of the case. The top flips back over nicely. I can adjust as needed. You won't have to take ipad out of the case.

If put in properly (with screws tightned), it would be very difficult for someone to sit there and unscrew the cover off to take the ipad out. If someone is burglarized, maybe. It takes time (a good 5 minutes or so) to take the cover off. My office is small and the ipad is not without supervision and in plane site of staff. We are not concerned about that. If you were to leave the ipad unattended for long periods of time and people walk by it, you may consider something with a lock instead.
