[iPad] Show both VC in full size side-by-side

Hello,

I've been using swRevealVC for quite a bit in my iPhone app and it works great. I am now trying to port it to iPad and would like to show both viewcontroller (front and left) in full size, side-by-side - basically like the email app (see attached picture):

When ever I show both VC simultaneously with SWRevealVC, it moves the front controller out of the way and thus hides a section of that front VC content (as the front VC has to move away to reveal the rear VC).

Is there a way to get both VC's views in full screen, displayed at the same time or will I need to look at using a splitView? I understand that the drawer effect requires the front view to move away but I was wondering if by using some of the settings (rearViewRevealWidth or rearViewRevealOverDraw) there would be a way to achieve the desired effect.

Thanks for the help!
