Connect electrically, it will make a picture frame (a bit pricey the photo frame with an ipad), stereo and a charging stand (logical!)
Disconnect, it will ask a support on a table for standard use knowledge to carry the device (the old ipads are a bit heavy, it must be admitted). The built-in speaker will not be functional.
The only small downside is that the built-in speaker is not really quality. It is not bad but ... consistent with value for money.
I recommend
