 Handy and Helpful Cool Little Book HolderFeb 10, 2010
Being that I am doing a lot more book reading these days, and need to read at every opportunity, I turned to Google to look for a book holder-opener to use when I am on the treadmill (having misplaced the other doodad I was using). The first product to pop up was the a cool little book holder called the FlipKlip. The FlipKlip is manufactured by BlueZap in beautiful C'oeur d'Alene, Idaho. The owner of the company is Bob Begin, also known as Mr. Wizard.
The premise behind the FlipKlip is to keep a book open when you are engaged in activities where two hands are not necessarily available - such as knitting, typing, cooking and exercising. Eureka - the treadmill - perfect!
Recommended places to use the FlipKlip (as cited on the BlueZap website) are:
* On your computer desktop
* Reading bed
* In the kitchen (perfect for holding open a cookbook)
* On the bus or train
* On the airplane tray table
* At Home
* At the Gym
* At School
* While Eating Lunch
I have been trying out the product for a couple weeks, and it has proven to be quite useful and durable. I am getting a lot more reading done, and it encourages me to get on the treadmill, where the tendency (or excuse?!) may be "I need to read; I can't spare this hour on the treadmill." The FlipKlip kills two birds with one stone! I have used other gadgets over the years, but the FlipKlip tops them all!
I appreciate the fact that it's a perfect size, and, when not in use, it can be clamped onto the book for safe and easy portability. It comes in a variety of colors: Ortega Green, Deep Charcoal, Twilight Purple, Sunset Pink and Aruba Blue. And, best of all, it is manufactured in the USA!
The FlipKlip was generously provided to me by Bob Begin at BlueZap for review purposes.

Perfect book holderSep 13, 2009
This book holder is exactly perfect for holding pages of a book open while using a treadmill! Judith
 Not bad, not greatAug 10, 2009
I have used my flip clip a couple of times, but it is so flimsy, I am afraid to break it. So far I have used it on large books, and so I use it to hold one side of the book open, because it won't fit on the top or bottom. Time will tell how long this will last. As I said, it feels pretty flimsy. I may just end up buying one of those large clear book holders, however cumbersome it may be to carry to/from the gym.
 does not work on the treadmillAug 09, 2009
I was looking for a product to use while reading on my treadmill.
This product is not made for that purpose and should not be advertised as a treadmill book holder but rather as just a "book holder". There is no way to clip it onto the treadmill so that it won't fall during a workout.

 Good for music booksJul 12, 2009
I used this book holder to hold open music books on my piano. New book bindings are often too tight and make it hard to read the music when the pages fold up on its own.
I leave this tool on the new books I buy, and the music books are much easier to manage, and turn pages. Its not so easy to turn pages with the device on all the pages, so I leave 4-5 pages out of the clamp so I can turn them while playing the music without fumbling, while the rest of the pages stay back under the clamps and don't flip the book closed.
