Why not solve all the problems inherent with corner loops by using the existing attachment system?

Also, the fatal flaw: you put the cover pocket in the front. That's where the screen is located. Any cover pocket must go on the inside back cover. Again, this should be obvious, but the Reader's screen is on the front of the Reader. So, when you close the cover, anything in the front pocket would rub against, what? Anyone? Anyone?
As far as the attachment, well, they make for more than just the Sony readers, so it only makes sense that they have some common system in place, from a design standpoint for them. Although, yes, I really would prefer them to use the hinge system in place.
