I use them with smartcovers, specially for the sleep function.
I think 80% of the readers on the market are all "slippery" if you have sweat hands or a bit grease.. ( I don't mean this offending ) so really, if thats all ?
My sony prs-t1, t2 or t3 are much and much more slippery and don't have the "rubberish" back that the glo HD has.
To be 100% overreacting,they are like soap, squeeze it and the reader is on the top draw of the cabinet.. the Glo and Glo HD are much and much better.

I always use a cover because it is more handy to hold any device, flap folded backwards, one finger in between and swipe with the same hand.. so hold and swipe with the same hand.
Perfect, and the covers cost me $7 each.

Sorry, why should someone do that, the stats are for me, not a show off so why would you fool yourself ?
