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.

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!

This 3-pack is for 3 books so I let my wife borrow one. She doesn't let "borrow" stop her from making it her own device. It's a bit hard on my arthritic fingers, but it certainly helps me hold the book when reading in bed. I think if it was a bit larger it might work better for thicker books, but that would have to be determined. As a gift it fits well into any reader's holiday sock and provide hours of page-organized reading. The center section holds a spring which helps 4 arms stay in position, which works well. The longer arms hold the back firmly and the shorter arms hold the pages down.

I think design of the perfect book page holder is a challenge. This product may come as close as possible to that objective. Efficient page turning does take a bit of practice. But, overall, I like the device.

I was initially skeptical of this product, largely because the packaging makes it look like it was manufactured in and dug out of a time capsule from 1976, but it’s turned out to be just the thing for reading on the treadmill or elliptical. It fits a wide range of books, from bulky hardbacks to thinner paperbacks and keeps the book opened wide enough. Pretty neat little gadget, definitely worth the $18 or so price for anyone who needs to keep a book open without holding it the entire time.

I bought these because of the video that shows the user easily turning pages by sliding the page out from under one side and then under the other. If you need a strong, easy to use product that will hold a book OPEN for you, these will work. If you want to read a book, by flipping pages you'll have to risk tearing pages to pull pages out or repeatedly open and close each side. The two sides are both rigid and tight - no rolling wheel or anything else that would aid in page changes. It looks like the pages in the video are glossy and super strong, which isn't true of the library books I own. I'm returning it because I needed something that would rest my hands while I read. This ain't it.

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.

The item does hold in place and it folds very easily. Also it’s easy to put it away and doesn’t take much space . Yes, I can read it without moving it. I like that it looks nice and simple. I Highly recommend this product.

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.
