Anyone here with an existing Oberon cover - how flexible is the leather for folding it back behind the Kindle to read one handed?

I have a Kindle 3 with the Amazon standard cover and I find it a bit stiff to fold back though it seems to be loosening a bit with age.

I guess with the charm on the front that won't actually work very well as it can't get flat with that in the way.

I am struggling these days to hold the Kindle in a 'book like' fashion - with thumb in the spine area, as I have started getting RSI in both hands and my thumb joints are really painful.

Consequently I like to read one handed or with a flip cover - but these Oberon ones are soooooo pretty (particularly the Celtic one).
