5.0 out of 5 stars tip: remove plastic caps on front pegs, November 7, 2007

By

A number of people have mentioned that pages can be hard to turn sometimes. Just remove the plastic caps on the front pegs. The bare plastic still holds down the pages, and its much easier to turn pages that way.

Additionally, if you place the back pegs just inside the cover (rather than outside the cover), the device doesnt fall off the book if you happen to release the spring momentarily to turn pages or to flip rapidly thru pages. It remains balanced on top of the book because having the back pegs inside the cover holds the flip klip in place even when its 'unsprung'.

To echo the other positive reviews here, this is a lovely little gadget. Hard to improve on it in terms of a portable, slim, easy device that effectively holds a book open.

I was looking and looking for something that would hold open my book while I was working out on the treadmill in the mornings at the gym -- ran across this little FlipKlip and it really does the trick well. Easy to use, holds the book open so I can read -- only problem that it hasn't solved is how to underline what I'm reading while on the treadmill...let me know when you run across a product that does that! Seriously, great product, inexpensive and does the job!

This worked out perfectly with my book and the treadmill. It keeps the book flat and a simple flip up on the clip and you can easily turn the page without halting your workout. The service was very fast also, it shipped the first business day after I placed the order.

Note: I did find this to be a bit smaller and more lightweight than I expected. It worked very well for well broken in hardbacks and the larger trade paperbacks that lay flat easily, but I have had one new hardback where it was a bit cumbersome (but do-able) and I had one fat paperback that the clip would not hold on to at all. Perhaps the inventor can come up with a heavier duty model for those books? No matter, I have plenty of books that will work smoothly, and I am thrilled to be able to read whilst on the cardio -- it goes SO MUCH faster with a good book.
