    To the right most of the time - only to the left when I'm typing or watching video because the Apple case props it with the button to the left.

    Ditto

    As for the home button on the left or right, usually on the left because I have an Apple case, and it's easier to have the cover flap hanging down in the back, instead of flopping around on the bottom, or physically holding it against the back.

    The reason I usually have it to the right is some games FORCE it that way..they won't rotate around.

    I hold it to the right b/c I prefer the speakers on the right top (where my hand isnt) as opposed to the left bottom, covered by my left hand.

    Its funny, because I actually find myself flipping it around when i notice the button is on the left, even when it doesnt make a difference...creature of habit i guess.

    Landscape almost exclusively with button on left. I do not handle mine very much as I got one of the Griffin stands and leave it on there.

    Portrait mode nearly 100% of the time, unless it is a video or an app that requires landscape mode.

    Portrait when I'm surfing the Net or checking my e-mails. If I'm holding the iPad then it's portrait but if it's docked and I'm using the keyboard I have it on landscape.

    Portrait almost all of the time - since I'm mainly reading books/magazines or browsing the web.

    People who watch a lot of video or play games will probably prefer landscape.
