So I may be a little paranoid here but I feel like I’m going to break my MK hinge when I open it with the iPad attached and tilt to improve the viewing angel. There’s no locking feeling on the top hinge and I’m afraid I may bend it too far back.

Am I the only one who fears this or is it totally fine and I have no chance of snapping the hinge?

You're not going to snap it, but I wouldn't yank it back either. Just gently adjust it back until you feel some resistance.

Ok cool. I’m very gentle with it and was just afraid that I may bend it too far back and then snap the hinge.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I think one just has to be sutle with the MK as afterall it‘s first a keyboard then a case so has to be treated like one nonetheless as the debris might lso get stuck within the hinge which might make a crackling sound after a little while using it
