One reviewer wrote that the strap doesn't keep the cover secured when it's folded back for reading, is that true?The manufacturer claims the opposite.

The cover is indeed secured when folded back. You use the same buckle that you use to secure the cover when it is in front.

I have the Kindle touch, and that stays in there securely, you just can't use the top holder strap. So far, I have not found that strap necessary, it stays firmly in there even without it.

My answer is the same as the others. While I don't know about warranty, my book has held up to daily in and out of my work bag and in my suitcase for a trip. I've only had my cover for about a month, but I keep I keep it on my MacBook 24/7. Some past reviews criticized the construction, saying it fell apart, but I think that may be the exception rather than the norm. I have had no problems w/ it falling apart. The stitching is like new; no signs of overuse.

No the cover folds back against the back and is then out of the way. the closing strap just gets tucked back into my palm. It is faster than my trying to side it out of a case.

Yes, the cover can be folded back without straining the leather. It fits perfectly and looks GREAT!

I don't fold mine back; I just hold it like a book in one hand. The case was not made to fold backwards. It could be forced, but probably at the expense of damaging the leather.

Didn't try is, but don't why it would not stay put. I do enjoy using it, my arms get tired holding a book, but mostly use my Kindle to read.

I was thinking about this same issue. But I checked, I don't think this cover can attach a wrist strap. So the company should improve it. I hope they don't rise the price.

not it all! maybe you are not pushing it strong enough. I have not had any problems, I really like the cover

No it wont, but it's not necessary. When you hold the kindle with the cover folded backwards it doesn't bother.

We did not experience that problem, sorry, no help there. But you can adjust the 'snugness' for the straps....effectively preventing the problem occurring.

Hi there, yes, there is a black elastic strap attached to the inside of the back cover. It can be utilized to hold the book closed. This is in addition to two attached ribbon book marks (the book marks can be seen in the Amazon picture. The elastic strap is not shown, but it's there.

Yes, the cover works very nicely. The magnet keeps the front cover shut tightly. It can fold back but I like to hold the reader open with one hand. This way the front cover blocks excessive light for another person in the room, especially when reading in bed.

The strap isn't really the issue because it's made of soft rubber. The actual support holder is what can cause scuffs. It's made out of hard plastic but has a thin piece of rubber inside. The problem is the rubber isn't thick enough. So I modified it by placing a strip of foam inside. Works great.

We've found that letting the cover kind of flop closed on it's own aligns it better than we do. As an added measure, when it doesn't sleep, we manually align an outer corner and find that it will sleep then. Hoping after some use it will remember the position we like it in better.

yes, but sometimes the ipad shifts a bit in the holding straps and needs to be readjusted
