Works well with either hand. I regularly fall asleep reading, and the finger-ring means I don't drop the kindle off the bed or into the bath. Good for travel too, as the kindle can be securely hanging off my finger while I hand over my passport. I do have a sleeve which lives inside my bag; when I'm putting the kindle in the bag, it's no more effort to put it in the sleeve, so it does have protection when out of the house but not being used.
All that said, I'm not someone who is hard on my devices, and my device is a Voyage, which I think is a bit more resilient than many other versions. My kids have PWs and they do have cases on their kindles.
Like so much in life, big-case/little-case/no-case - it depends on what works for you, based on your priorities, lifestyle, etc.

I'm afraid that if I adopted your method, I would end up with the hand-strap and finger-ring entangled around my neck and arms, much like my pug who tosses my (clean, but no longer used) 'holey' underwear into the air as he playfully wrestles with it when he sees me every morning. This eventually leads to a 'pug-of-war' [sic] as we both growl at each other.
