I'm most concerned about how to hold it while reading. Since the flipbar is at the spine of the cover, to use the device with one hand, one has to fold back the cover 360 degrees. I suppose the folded triangular configuration of the cover can either give one more hold on the device... or the slippery inside fabric will cause it to shoot out from ones hand.
I don't like the cover. It's too wide, it doesn't have magnets to keep it shut on its own.
I'm not folding back the cover 360°, don't do that with any of my covers (nor with paperbacks). I fold it 180° and hold it with my left hand. The left part of the cover (the one that I open) rests on my left forearm. It's not heavy and feels about the same as the other covers.
But I simply don't like the look of it. I'll definitely look out for an alternative. Most of the time I've been using it "naked", without the cover.
