How hard is it to remove the case? I have the student edition and it came with a charging stand and keyboard so I would like to remove the case often

It is easy to remove. Mine was quite snug at first, but after I removed it a few time, it is easier. That being said, I don't know what repeated removals will do to the level of retention. I don't for see any issue but it could loosen over time so that when you unsnap the bottom to use the stand, it start to slide out. I don't think this will be a real problem, but something to make note of.

It's a very good design. There are six spots on the case that hold it in place. To insert, slide the tablet through the middle guides until it stops against the top. Then snap it into the bottom. The photos of the tablet in the propped up position have the bottom unsnapped. To remove, just slide it back out. The tablet fits tight enough that it won't slide out unless you pull it out.

You can't remove the keyboard, you can fold it back but it doesn't fold back flat :)

Yes, the iPad slips into the top part of the case and when you want to remove it you just lift it out and the case and iPad snap together. It uses a usb charger which comes with it and the charger plugs into your computer when you want to charge your keyboard. I have used the keyboard for days without having to charge it. I use my iPad a lot so the keyboard battery lasts a long time before needing to be charged.

The keyboard doesn't remove, to be without the keyboard you have to take the iPad out of the case to use it or purchase a case that does not have the keyboard

No - you have to remove the case - which is a pain. What i do is to just use the bluetooth keyboard detached from the tablet.

The keyboard can not be removed. It's glued on the cover, unless u want to ripe it out. Although I'm sure it would look ugly afterwards.

The black part on the bottom, you have to try really hard to get that off without breaking the case. When I tried, it broke a little. It's really hard, good luck

Ditto Frank's comment. We had to remove the cover from the ipad, but the keyboard is great. Just be careful, it does not hold it tight, and if you try to pick it up by the keyboard, disaster could ensue.

Will probably need to remove it. The stand is very compact. I really love mine because I can leave it on charge or unplug and just let it sit till I'm ready for it.

Does it come apart easily? In other words, can I separate the Ipad mini from the keyboard to hold it like a tablet while leaving the case on the ipad?

Yes, the keyboard has 4 magnets on each corner. So you can remove the keyboard from the case.

No the keyboard can not be removed, the case and keyboard are one piece. The tablet fits snaps into the top part of the shell very firmly.

Yes you can remove the keyboard and there is no problem closing the case. But let me point this out as well After about 35 to 40 days the keyboard stopped working.And this was beyond the point where it could be returned or replaced, so I just bit the bullet and took the loss. When you make a brand new purchase you just expectthe item to last more that 35 to 40 days!

We keep it on the stand at our house, but it can easily be detached if you want to remove the stand. The stand pushes into 2 large holes on the bottom of the keyboard.

To be honest its a little tricky to get off at first. But once you figure out how to do it I start at the top left where the power button is and pull it off clockwise. Then for the Inner case pull from the bottom and push forward. After you do it a couple times its pretty easy.

The top case IS the keyboard. It includes the keyboard, the white around the keyboard, and also the touchpad. It would be difficult to take it apart and separate those.
