Turn Your iPad Case into a Stand

How to Turn Your iPad Case into a Stand Quick Guide.

Have you ever tried to get your iPad to stand up? That magnetic cover you’ve got isn’t just for protection – it’s actually a pretty clever stand! I’ll show you how to make the most of the iPad cover flaps.

Basic Setup

Your iPad’s magnetic cover comes with three sections (those fold lines you see). These aren’t random – they’re made to be transformed into different stand positions. Interested?

Standing Tall for Watching Videos

Watch some YouTube or join a FaceTime call? This how to set up the tall angle:

1. Fold the cover back completely
2. Take the end flap and fold it into a triangle shape
3. Tuck the last section into the groove created by the fold
4. Your iPad should now be standing almost upright – perfect for video!

Low Angle is Great for Typing and Drawing

A comfortable angle for typing or using your Apple Pencil. Try the low angle position:

1. Fold the cover back like before
2. This time, make a wider triangle with the folds
3. Secure the end in the fold – it’ll create a gentler slope
4. Now you’ve got the stand ready for typing!

More Tips

The case works in both portrait and landscape modes. Try to find what works best for yourself.

Your iPhone can use this stand too! Place it where your iPad would go.

Clean the magnetic strips occasionally as dust can make them less effective.
If the stand feels loose, check if you’ve tucked the end flap in securely.

Will this wear out my case?
Nope! These cases are designed for this kind of folding. Just avoid creasing too sharply.

Which position is best?
The tall stand is great for media, while the low angle works better for typing and drawing. Try both!

Conclusion

Your iPad case is more than just protection – it’s a great stand that can adapt to whatever you’re doing. Play around with different angles until you find your sweet spot. Sometimes the simplest solutions are built right into the gear we already have!

Your iPad case might look slightly different, but these basic principles work for most magnetic tri-fold covers.
