This is another usability factor that is individual. I find it much easer to use in the case than out of it (I fold back the cover and attach the strap around the backside). Except for a few experiments, and putting in an SD card, I don't even take my Kindle out of the case at all (and it hasn't yet come loose on its own, lucky me. If it does get loose I'll probably do the velcro trick). I find it much easier to hold with the case on and when I've given it to people to try out, they tend to grab the case the same place I do (the left spine) and just explore away and never seem to comment on the case -- it's disappeared for them).
One person did note it was heavier than they heard and I mentioned it was because it was in the case. So, I took it out for them and they were surprised at how light it was (the case is substantial), but after having used it awhile in the case, preferred it on too.
The reason I don't like holding the Kindle without the case by the bottom edge or keyboard area, is that it is then top-heavy -- I don't always have a prop for the top part of the book. I also change positions frequently while reading and the case gives me more freedom to change how I hold it -- anywhere along the left edge, or with a thumb or finger trapped between the cover plates -- held together with the strap.
