To be honest, I've never tried before now. I normally have it propped on a desk or table in front of me. But out of curiosity, I'll give it a try.
My first inclination was that it was going to be too unwieldy. But the Fintie magnets come together in the back to prop the iPP. However, I have the 11 inch; since the 12.9 is slightly heavier, it might be too much for it to handle. The Canopy case also holds the Magic Keyboard and iPP together. At $40, it's a little more expensive than the Fintie, but perhaps it would be steadier. https://www.amazon.com/Canopy-Keybo...t=&hvlocphy=1013173&hvtargid=pla-553883188274
Thanks, appreciate that
