I had high hopes for this case/stand, which I chose precisely because the photos show an option - the almost vertical (portrait) position, that I wanted for Facetime. I've already bought and returned two others that had angles that were too shallow for Facetiming. The position in this position is better, but when he is in this position it is quite precarious; There's no ledge to hold it and it's easy to tip over. When it's in the wide (landscape) position, the ridge holds it in place nicely. Too bad they didn't do the same for the portrait position. Also, I paid an extra $3 for the green color which is a wise decision. I didn't notice that part of the device is turquoise, which looks terrible with sage green. A small point maybe, but after paying 10% more for the aesthetics, I'm disappointed.
