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).
Its cover is very flexible. In fact, it almost falls back. My Oberon cover goes on a Sony 505 which is a little smaller than the Kindle which makes it harder to hold onto. I have osteoarthritis in my hands and the Sony is hard to hold without a cover. I've had several covers with it and the Oberon is decidedly the most pleasant to hold.
