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).

it folds back just fine, AND! you can slide your hand into the pocket behind where the Kindle attaches to hold it, AND you can use the left page turn button doing it this way! (note this is with the straps I don't know about the hooks)

Is the front cover quite stiff underneath (in terms of protecting the Kindle Screen)? How secure is the Kindle with the elastic straps?

very stiff, very secure! I have taken to sticking *important* things into the pocket on that side. the Kindle has never even wiggled let alone indicated any possibility of falling out!
