A:AnswerI haven't tried that yet, but I think that would be fine. Yes, the back is too thick to fold behind if you are reading. That is my only complaint about this cover.
A:AnswerYes. When not in use, the keyboard wraps to cover the screen. To answer the second part of your question the keyboard connects through the smart port on the side of the iPad.
