It is impossible for me to read the Kindle on trains and subways, standing up, unless I fold the Kindle holder backwards upon itself. That allows me to hold the Kindle with one hand.
I would not even *think* of buying a replacement holder for the Kindle unless it could fold back on itself. The idea of reading the Kindle while it is lying flat on a table with the cover open is ridiculous to me and hundreds of thousands of other train commuters.
The Kindle holder that came with my Kindle folds back upon itself perfectly. I am amazed more people do not realize that.

Actually, my "book" folds back on itself and can easily held in one hand while standing. The spine of the cover is very flexible (it has none of the spring of the stock case), so its very easy to fold back.
Even though I made this for my own use, having read people's complaints before I started work, I took all of these things into consideration. I'm traveling all the time, and find myself not only sitting on planes or trains, but standing in the NYC subway, so tried to anticipate all of these possible uses.
Of course, I'm not selling this or making them, but I will provide this advice to Jenni Bick as she develops a model to sell.
