The "docking" aspect only works on a naked IPAD, without even the standard back protector. It also doesn't have any locking mechanism that slides to close the case, so you have to remove it and put it back to close it. The angle of the docking is decent if you're typing with the ipad on your knees, but isn't very practical for standard viewing. This unit is really only good if all you want to do with your ipad is type. If you plan on doing anything else, I'd recommend another type of case and/or keyboard.
Like many of Stephen King's work, the story is absolutely amazing (five-star worthy) until it gets to the ending, where if fails entirely. My disappointment in this book is this great only because most of the book showed such promise, only to be ruined by an awful ending.
