Brilliant little product for people who work with books a lot,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I must say I like my flipklip very much. It does exactly what it advertises: its a small, thin clip (about 5 inches long), it 'pops' open and 'pops' closed onto a book, and holds the book open for you, very reliably. Basically I use it in those cases where normally I'd have used a bookstand:
-With this, you dont need a separate bookstand for most things. You can just use the flipklip, cuz it holds the book open, and then the book 'stands up' by itself if you want it to. Its much smaller and portable than a full sized bookstand. -I have a handheld scanner, and the flipklip holds the book 'flat' for me as I scan text. -It works very consistently, whether i'm reading page 1 or page 100 (ie, the variable thicknesses of the book on the left and right side dont affect it), and I've used 500 page books with it. -Its made from plastic with vinyl covered fingers to hold the pages. Turning pages is easy; the vinyl ends are just the right grippiness where they dont stop you from easily turning pages and they dont slip off either. In sum: You'll use it more often than your bookstand. Its not necessarily for everything: for instance, I generally wouldnt use it to hold open a book that I'm just reading straight thru (anyway they have those thumb-things that can hold a book open for that). And yes, sometimes nothing beats a full sized bookstand. However, for such a cheap price, its really handy to have and for most things you'll find yourself reaching for the flipklip rather than a bookstand.

Very useful,
This review is from: FlipKlip Cook BookHolders 1-Pak
I'm @ the athletic club @ 5:30 every morning. To keep my mind occupied, while laboring on the eliptical machine, I like to read. It was a real problem reading paperbacks. They just would not stay open. With the "Flip Klip Very Cool Little Book Holder" that problem has been solved. Many of my friends @ the club have asked me about the KLIP and I have endorsed it with great Gusto! :-)

Great idea, needs a few changes,

This review is from: FlipKlip Cook BookHolders 1-Pak
This book holder is a good idea and it works pretty well. It does keep the book open, which is nice. The grips on the end are effective as well. However, I think the spring should be a little stronger because it has a hard time holding open some thicker books with tight bindings. Of course there's also always the issue of having to take the clamp off every time you turn the page...but I don't see a way around this. I find I use it the most when I'm typing a paper and need the book open in front of me. It doesn't work very well to hold a book open with your arms and type at the same time. I would recommend the product, but it could use an adjustment or two.
