At first I had serious concerns about the "flip" style of the Origami cover, but then I considered how I actually used a cover, and realised that I never, ever, hold the cover open: I always fold it back on itself and hold it one-handed. The only difference, therefore, between the flip cover and a book cover is that I open the flip cover vertically rather than horizontally.
When I commute yes I hold it open as a book, I don't like the person next to me reading my book. Also at work I read at my desk during lunch so again I have it open like a book so if someone comes up to me I can close the cover.

I read MM Romance which can be a bit x-rated so I like the quick and easy option of closing the cover. Plus I often put my kindle down without closing the cover and it goes to sleep so I want quick access to the power button, which for the origami cover is covered by the flipped over front cover, so for me not very practical.

Thats why when I originally pre ordered the Voyage I ordered the Belkin book cover, not even considering they would be stupid enough to make a cover without the sleep/wake feature.
