The corner thing you mention is the magic. I also tried many ways to secure the Kindle, yet allow it to be comfortably held. I make the clip from vinyl coated aluminum, the stuff you trim outside woodwork. After experimenting with far too many prototypes, I made the perfect fit and made a pattern. The Kindle has an odd design being 3/4 inches on the top left and that strange 1/2 inch taper on the bottom. I settled on the metal clip as I could mold it to fit perfectly on top and bottom as well as provide support for the length of the device. With a suede or other gripping surface applied to the underside, it holds fairly secure. I do sew a small Velcro square to the right but only use a 1/2 inch round dot if someone wants to attach to the Kindle for extra security. I am using soft leather as the center binding as it allows the cover to be fully opened to be held on either the left or right. I chose to put it on the inside as it just feels right to hold. The rivets are actually a decorative fastner that I use in making handmade shoes and sandals, another hobby. No apologies needed for your long reply as my response is simply far too wordy!
