A:AnswerNo kickstand as such but the case can rotate so the tablet can stand alone either vertically or horizontally using the ribs on the inside of the case cover.
A:AnswerNo. It does need the elastic strap to stay closed , but is part of the good thing about it as it gives the flexibility needed for you to adapt it to what you need in the moment.
A:AnswerThe material is very soft & smooth. It seams to be a plastic of some sort. Comfortable to hold, and light weight. Like stated before, very, very smooth. It's held up good, but then only in use for about a month.
A:AnswerYou would need the (Apple-provided) measurements of your iPad. This case seemed to be a perfect for my iPad 10.5 (7th gen). I don't know how consistent Apple has been over the iPad generations, with respect to port/switch placement. That would be the only other contingency that you would need to consider. To my knowledge, Best Buy does not have opened samples of these cases that you could try on your iPad (I might be incorrect here ... I guess you should contact your local Best Buy to see). I would almost be willing to bet that a Taurus rep could remove all uncertainty for you. Have you tried their web site?
A:AnswerThere is a plastic/rubbery shell that holds the device itself. It covers all four sides and redirects audio so the speakers aren't completely covered.
