i'm finding that the worst case scenario for the (blue cloth) case i have is when i'm reading with it folded underneath and go to bring the top around to close it up. nearly invariably the cover will slide completely off rather than folding around the kindle. i can make it fail nearly 100% of the time.
so yes, it will hang by the top half of the cover, that proves nothing at all. my findings so far are that it fails nearly completely at certain angles and with certain pressures applied at those angles. and eventually i'll find a foolproof workaround, but in the meantime i'll probably be in a hurry to close it while walking over concrete and that will be all she wrote.
i put in for a label to return mine, but while trying to use the naked oasis when the cover was boxed up i found it impossible to hold. i doubt they could have designed it any better if they were going for hard to hold.
i'm with the wired magazine review--the dammed thing is just too damm big and they exceeded the limits of what was possible if they wanted it to be portable.
