Actually, I have been successful in figuring out a way to use the case. I have made the strap longer and put it around my waist while sitting. Then I can put the Edge down on top of the case which keeps it from slipping. Now I can't figure out how to do anything like this standing so you can easily stand up and use the Edge with both hands. So far, this has not been an issue because I haven't needed to be standing while reading with it.
