As you can see, the back of the case is moulded plastic with a synthetic leather covering that conforms to the contours of the back of the reader itself.

Both the flap at the bottom and the power button on top are accessible without having to remove the reader from the cover.

The front of the cover flips back completely. Since the back is moulded to the contours of the reader which is not completely flat, the front of the cover will not sit flat against it too. However, the resultant gap is minimal and does not hinder comfortable usage in that position.

I have not noted any interference from the magnet when held in this position so far.

I find that I prefer the feel of the synthetic leather of this cover to the soft rubberised coating on the back of the reader. It is grippy enough for my use. If you wear gloves when holding the device, it might prove a bit slippery, in my opinion. You would be better off with the bare rubbery back of the device or the hemp cover, in that case.

Combined with the extra padding the over provides to the device, it gives me the nice feeling of holding a small leather bound hard-back in my hand.

I would not hesitate to recommend this cover and would purchase it again if I needed a replacement. I would recommend using the link I posted above, since I have noted that there are other covers on the market that look very similar to this one, but can be differentiated by the lack of the stitching and a cheaper plasticky look to the "leather".
