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.

Great little gadget for reading while exercising on the treadmill but also cool to hold open my recipe book. I like to read in bed and FlipKlip is light weight enough for this purpose holding open my books.
Plus its portable and easy to carry in your purse, gym bag, etc.

This product should not be advertised as a "treadmill" book holder, because no hardware or mounting system is provided to attach it to a treadmill. It holds the pages open, but you still have to hold the book.

I use FlipKlip on the treadmill at the gym. Works great for both thin and thick books.

Since my book kept closing while I was on the treadmill, and they didn't have anything to help me, I was really pleased to find this gadget. It works great and makes my exercise sooooo much easier. Thanks so much.

I use it for my treadmill, and just keep it waiting for me in the cup holder. Holds my books perfectly, where I can then rest them on a "lip" on the treadmill where I can read hands free. I've used an "average" size book, and also a large, heavy book, not quite "coffee table" size, and it worked just as well.

The only negative, per se, is having to pop up the one side when it's time to turn the page. The page will easily slip under the other side without having to pop it open. A little difficult when walking on the treadmill, but it does't have anything to do with the product itself. Also, a great price.

I bought two of the klips about three months ago. I loved it. I use it to read while on the eliptical and it works fantastically. After two months however, the first one broke where the spring loaded arm meets the main unit. The second only lasted two weeks before breaking in the exact same place.
I wish I knew of a different item to use for this purpose, but I have yet to find anything else. I wish it was better made. I will admit that I use mine everyday, and that might be more than it can handle.

This worked well- for 3 times. Now the arms are completely loose, even though it was not used on large books, and it's completely useless.

It's too bad, really, it worked so well until the 4th time that I was prepared to order another one- now I'm looking for a different solution to keeping my books open while working out.
