For reading lying down

A hand strap solves a specific problem: holding a Kindle above your face in bed until your fingers cramp. With a strap you rest the device against the back of your hand and let the strap take the weight, which means you can hold it comfortably for an hour and turn pages with a thumb.

The trade-off is a few millimetres of thickness on the back, which matters if you mostly read at a table. It also rules out lying the Kindle perfectly flat. If you read propped up at a desk more than you read in bed, a plain folio is the better buy.

Frequently asked questions

Are hand straps worth it on a Kindle?

Hand straps are worth it if you read lying down or one-handed, since the strap takes the grip effort out of holding the device. If you mostly read at a table they add bulk you will not use.

Does the strap fit different hand sizes?

The strap is elastic and sized for adult hands from small to large. It stretches without losing tension over the life of the case.

Can I still lay the Kindle flat?

You cannot lay the Kindle completely flat with a hand strap fitted, since the strap sits a few millimetres proud of the back panel.

Does the case still sleep the screen?

The case still sleeps the screen, because the folio has magnets matched to your Kindle generation. Closing the cover sleeps it and opening it wakes the device.
