FlipKlip Portable Book Page Holder for Hands Free Reading in Bed, on The Go, on The Treadmill & Exercise Bike - Works on Hardcovers, Paperbacks, Magazines, and Comic, Art, Piano and Recipe Books

An ingenious tool, the FlipKlip ideally solves the issue that every reader of a physical book faces: How to keep the damn book open to the page you’re on and—most important of all—keep the page in place. A gust of breeze or a fan’s burst of air or a blowing A/C vent can knock a page over. Or, as I needed, a physical book not held in place is useless on a treadmill. The FlipKlip fixes these issues, with its snapping mechanism keeping the open pages firmly in place. I just used the FlipKlip on a 639-page book (Mircea Cartarescu’s amazing novel, SOLENOID) with no problem. Some readers might object to how tight the FlipKlip holds down pages, how (in order to turn a page) you have to pull the right-side page down off the right clip and then lift the left clip to finish turning the page. I found this action was just a matter of adjusting to a new way of turning pages: It made the act somehow more deliberate, more of a ritual. It even made you more aware that you were turning a page and making progress, making you more conscious that you were in the ACT of reading. FlipKlip makes reading easier on one hand, but also more physical on the other. A genius invention.

I need something to hold a textbook I teach from open while I am making assignments. These ended up working really well.

bought this with the intention of using it to attach to our home treadmill. unfortunately it seemed like it wasn't holding up well and the book kept slipping. you would need a ledge of some sort of your treadmill for this to work well. however, i do find it useful when you want to read hands free. I tried it while eating breakfast and didn't want to get my book dirty and it was perfect. I do think it's a bit pricey but still worth it as it is portable as well.

I wish I had known about this sooner. Most of my books are massive and I get tired of holding them open - the one for this review is well over 600 pages. I don’t like electronic readers, I like an actual book! This has been a game changer. In my video you will see the pages come out easy and upon turning the page, if you use two hands and gently place the page under the arm there is no damage. I only used one hand due to recording and was able to do so just fine with no damage. Two photos show the device holding the book open by just the pages and another by the panels. It holds well both ways; that says a lot due to how large the book is. I find the FlipKlip looks easy, because it truly is simplistic. It has arms that hold open when setting up, with a strong spring load that adjusts effortlessly and holds well. Super simple, and versatile. A great American made product worth the money.

The FlipClip is a remarkable device, light-weight, perfect holding books open and leaving hands free. Easy to turn pages by raising one or the other of the front clips. It's particularly useful for someone like me, who consults multiple books at once. I initially bought 3 Flipclips and gave one to my husband. Then I bought another package for myself and also as gifts for other book lovers. It should also work with magazines to leave hands free for those working on the treadmill, elliptical machine, etc. Such a simple device, light enough to take on your travels. Highly recommended!

It holds books open perfectly fine (hard and soft cover). the problem is when it comes to turning pages, you have to keep extra pages in front of the one arm (of the device) so you can turn next page easier, but then you have to put the page you just read behind the other arm to hold it in place and if you try to slip it under rather than opening the arm, it wrinkles and or rips the paper. It will also cover some of the words on the pages, specially for smaller books. It’s a nice product, it just needs a few tweaks to the design.

I have a REALLY old piano (which I play every nite) & many very old piano books. This gadget came in real handy to keep my large, thick but falling apart piano books open to the right page! ( You would think they would realize that all music books should be made w/pages like a spiral notebook; so they stay open-but many don't !) So, finally- no more struggling to keep my books open while I play-yay! & as an added bonus, they don't 'chew up' the tops of the pages ( like the music clips I have been using for all these years). Readjusting them to slide the page under when you move onto the next 1 isn’t any more hassle then repositioning the music clips has been & totally worth it; since now these actually keep the book open properly (instead of just barely keeping a few pages under control)-big improvement! I also found a metal stand to keep the more dilapidated books from tumbling off my piano ledge( I just slid the base under the front of my piano) ! Highly recommend both products.

I got these on a whim and I am very glad that I came across these when looking for a book holder. These are compact and easily hold my books open to alleviate any strain on my own hands while trying to do the same thing. These also allow me to open a book out on a table while I ready without fear that the book would close and I'd lose my page. They feel well made and as though they'll last a long time. I hope that's the case because I really enjoy them.

Easy to use - does the trick !

As a book lover that hates having to put down her book to do other stuff, this. is. great! Really holds! Not amazing when you have to pass the page but for big books it also takes away the strain from keeping it open! Doesn't damage the book either!

The holder is robust, and sturdy enough to clip onto a book. Easy to lift arms to move the pages. Great accessory if reading in bed. Makes it easier to hold. as the holder takes the weight of the book

This bookholder is just what I needed. It relieves pressure and strain from holding a book and allows me to read while eating lunch. It is easy to turn pages and holds the book open.
