apple stand v case

Can I have people's opinion on what is the difference between an iPad stand and an iPad rotating case? Do they not do the same?

Maybe post some links to the specific products you're talking about? There's a lot of different stands about from a lot of different sources.

But in short, I think a rotating case like this lets you orientate the iPad in either landscape or portrait mode, whereas most stands are landscape only.

Ok, well obviously the two of them do very different things.

The first is a case that provides protection for a specific sized iPad when using or carrying. But it also lets you stand the iPad up for comfortable viewing on a table. The coloured versions show it in it's stand mode. It says it does 360 rotation, so it seems to be claiming to allow you to position it in the portrait mode (like the one I linked to above), but there's no picture of that, so it's unclear how successful that is.

The second one is just a stand. You can put any tablet on it, in either portrait or landscape mode. It obviously provides no protection, but it does allow you to adjust the angles in a way that the case doesn't.

Which one you'd go for really depends on whether you'd want protection for the iPad or not.
