Can the ipad tilt all the way back and be placed over the keyboard to be used in tablet mode?

yes and no. yes, the case allows the ipad to fold face up as you described, but not well because it will collapse onto that bulky spine, which won't allow it to sit flat. I returned it for that reason, and the fact that the case makes the ipad extremely heavy.

Yes, but there are other key folio options out there you should also consider.

You can fold the ipad over the keyboard. It does put the ipad kind of in a slightly awkward position but its not bad.

I have not use it in that fashion but Yes, you can lay the iPad flat at 180 degree angle and still use the keyboard.

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. You can tilt so the iPad is horizontal about 6 inches above whatever surface the stand is on. In that position the iPad can be rotated 360 degrees. The stand is very sturdy and holds the iPad firmly.

Possibly. It certainly would add additional padding, and should be adequate if the keyboard is not handled roughly.

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.

Yes, you can do that. Actually I think that's the only option, basically the screen of tab will be facing keyboard.

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

Yes you can, it slides across the keyboard a bit and doesn't lay flat but you flip it so it sits on top of the keyboard.

Yes, there is an adjustment collar just behind the tablet holder that when loosened lets you position the tabletanyway you would like it. Hope this helps :)

Yes, you can, but only to view. If you wanted the tablet in portrait and adjust the keyboard to type beneath it in portrait, it does not do that.

The keyboard can be tilted to two different heights. There are two different tabs, a shorter tab that can be flipped out on each side for a short tilt, and a longer tab on each side that can be flipped out for a higher tilt.

YES, but I canNOT recommend it if you hope to prop up your ipad. It slips and slides when you try to position. I ended up replacing with a Logictech Fabric keyboard which is a perfect case. I now use the Apple case only if traveling because it is lighter weight. Hard to believe that Apple has not addressed the problems with this case. Good Luck!

This case can be used to cover the keyboard in tablet mode. It does not necessarily have to cover the screen as well, but the whole device will fit in the case whilst in tablet mode if needed. :)

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.
