A:Answer It can be used in tent mode. And, depending on which way you insert the tablet into the hinge, a keyboard may or may not be visible. The back and sides of the tablet fit snugly into a shell which then can be inserted into a hinge on the keyboard. If you insert the screen facing the keyboard, you have access to the keyboard and it looks like a very small computer notebook. If you insert the screen facing away from the keyboard it easily can be used in tent mode which causes the keyboard to be inside the tent and not really functional. I use all these positions and have been pleased with the performance of the keyboard. It's made for an iPad Air and I am using it for my iPad Pro 9.7. Except for covering 2 of 4 speakers (the Air only has 2) with the shell, it fits perfectly and I have no complaints. If I was needing great audio, I would pop it out of the shell to expose the other speakers more.
