Review: Love the looks and functionality but hand comfort is an issue

I truly wish I could give this case a higher score because I really like its looks and appreciate its relative affordability.  From a stylistic standpoint this is a well designed case that doesn't add a lot of extra weight and has an attractive, sleek form factor that doesn't add an annoying amount of bulk unlike other similar products.  Overall functionality gets high marks as well - this case has the auto on/off feature where the power is activated on/off by opening and closing the magnetized cover clasp.  The 'stand' feature makes reading on a flat surface (eg - a desk, table) a joy, although the default angle is a bit too low for my tastes (approximately 45 degrees).The chief fault I have with this product occurs when you need to hold this case in your hands (eg - while lying in bed) to read.  For some reason the case's edges feel too sharp (particularly when you hold it with one hand) and gives me enough mild discomfort to the point where I need to remove the Kindle from the case - a mild inconvenience yes, but enough of an annoyance to distract from an otherwise great cover.
