I don't have the exact angles handy, but one of our recent blogs includes this image which you could use as a guide. Let us know if this helps with your ideas 🙂
We divide these up in areas called Closed, Peek, Concave, Flat, Convex and Full. Working on getting you how the system divide these postures up in degrees but apps do not have to do it the same way.

I have some ideas that requires an UI update related to the posture of the device.
Example:
- "L"-State: (Convex?) Show Video in the vertical part, show notes in the bottom horizontal part. Usecases: HR meetings, learning apps. The video should be visible if the device is in its book posture.
- "V"-State: Show prettified information to the customer, but on the other side, the field worker sees non-public information about the customer which could help to lead a sales pitch, etc.
Have a great day,

Thanks Craig_Dunn!
The image would be even better if there were some numeric values given. Nevertheless, It helps a lot. Thanks buddy!
