I find that I can position my hand just right, so that I can press the buttons with the thumb on my hand that is in the strap (does that make sense? LOL). I also like the the edges are partially protected too. It did smell a little strong when I first received it (I'm really sensitive to smell) but I found that the features far outweighed the bad smell, and it went away after awhile. I also like that it folds at the top, so that I can comfortably hold it with either hand. I'm also a little clumsy, and the strap feels more secure.
I like the hand-strap on the case so much, that any ereader I own will NEED a cover with a similar strap (or I will add one). I can't imagine reading nearly as comfortably without one.

I had the Marware cover and think it's well made and a nice cover. The problem I had with it was the way the K3 fits into it... I found it interfered with me ability to hit the right arrow key (of the 5 way controller). So I sadly had to return it.
Instead, I bought the lighted Kindle cover and have found that less (as in attachment point) is more.
I fold the top cover over and hold the Kindle that way. My left thumb seems to naturally rest near the back button and my right thumb rests naturally near the forward button. I find this case very functional.
If I leave the case open like that and then pick up the K3, I do turn a page or two accidentally sometimes, but it's no big deal to hit the back button and return to where I was reading.
