Can you turn the iPad in portrait mode using the Smart Keyboard Folio?

Hello debsrenee,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you want to know if you can use the iPad in portrait orientation with the Smart Keyboard Folio. Since the Smart Keyboard Folio only connects along the long side, you wouldn't be able to type with it in portrait orientation. But you should be able to use it in portrait orientation other wise. See the following support article on using the Smart Keyboard Folio.
