How easy is this to get the ipad out of and into? We have a stand at a desk and want to use this at the bedside and able to easily move ipad between.

Ease, as in mechanically, is good. You just turn two knobs. Comes out easy, just by turning the knobs. Adjusting the knobs to put the iPad in, that's another question. To twist it around to the right position? A little stiff.

I don't know what to compare it to. It is not an instantaneous process, and some care must be taken. There is one claw that you'll keep locked down tight; you put one corner of the iPad flush against that. Then you align the opposite corner to the other claw, move it into position, and tighten it down. It can be a bit fiddly, and it is a two handed process. Some care must be taken not to drop the tablet in the process. That said, it is not brain surgery, and unless there is some stand I'm not aware of with some spring loaded mechanism, it is about as easy as you're likely to see.

It's fairly easy. Depending on how you have it configured/oriented you can sometimes just slide it in/out from the top. Otherwise it's just a matter of slightly turning one of the black knobs on the back to loosen the grip and remove the iPad.

Pretty quick 5 seconds to loosen the screw and remove the iPad. I use mine in the kitchen when I am working in there and take it with me when I leave.

This was actually for my 15 yr old son. He loves it. It was easy for him to use. But I think he needed to remove the protective case first.

It's as easy as a few twists of one screw. This is high quality, very beautiful craftsmanship. I couldn't be happier with mine.

Typing, yes; reading and using? That depends. The stand is limited to one angle which is a bit steep for full upright lap use and just a tad shallow for fully reclined use, as far as I am concerned; I tend to not need the keyboard in bed and I just remove it. The iPad mini itself is pretty stable in the groove though; if you tilt it more than about 35 degrees backward or about 20 forward it will start to fall out. It's more steady than the larger iPad version physically because the mini center of mass is lower and it fits pretty snug in the groove.

I like that it is tight when trying to open it in comparison to other products I've tested were my iPad has come opened and or flew away. Here's what works for me. I take my thumb and nail and place it next to latch to push up on iPad and rest of fingers and nails to push down on keyboard part. Let me know if that helps.

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.

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 :-)

Not Hard at all. There is one velcro clasp that you lift and it slides out. Ive bought 10 different cases and this by far is the best I've seen. Built Well, Durable, Protects iPad...etc.

I have this product and can tell you that it is very easy to get back out, but it will stay put once installed. I love mine! I don't think I would use my iPad as much as I do without it!

I'll be honest, I don't use my iPad in bed at all, but have had no trouble using the Prop 'n Go on my lap on the couch. As was said below, there is a lip on the lower part to hold the iPad and two non slip strips on either side of the face of the surface and the iPad stays put, no slipping or even moving around.

No, you need to take the iPad out of whatever case you have it in or if only the magnetic cover, you need to remove that also. The iPad snaps into the mount snuggly. I have found it very easy to use and have really enjoyed the wide angle it gives for doing agility with my dog.

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 stylus holder 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 out easily with this method.

I see no reason to take my iPad out of the case at all. Both the iPad and the Logitech Folio Keyboard are easily recharged while still in the case. And the purpose of the case-whether a keyboard type or not--is to protect the iPad. So my question is simply this: why would you take your iPad out of the case in the first place?

The stand is built into the keyboard. You can't seperate them but you can collapse the stand for easy storage. In order to make the iPad stand you need the keyboard. It doesn't detach

Gently bend the diagonal corners away from the iPad and it will pop out. Be careful not to grab it at the volume rocker corner, it is the most fragile. Hope this helps.

You can, but not the way you may be thinking. You can pull the keyboard off (it is connected just by magnets so this is easy), then open the case and stand it up so it stays still. The keyboard is Bluetooth so it can be anywhere nearby. Just have it on the desk in between you and your standing iPad and you are good to go.

I love it.......If you just bump the iPad it is OK, if you really hit it, it will come apart. I have had no problem with mine.

The keyboard and the frame into which the iPad is inserted are one piece and cannot be separated. You could (1) take the iPad out of the frame, not so easy, or (2) fold the entire assembly so that the keyboard is at the back of the iPad and you are using the iPad as a tablet. There are several videos among the amazon reviews.
