I always take it off, it always falls off if I don't, meaning I have to stop reading to put it back on, just for it to fall off again!

i hate the book covers.

the only one i saved was the deathly hallows one, which is on my wall, along with the little keychain i got for standing in line two and a half hours for the book.

I take it off. I do the same thing with all books cause they're such pains!!

Honestly, I prefer the soft cover books which don't have the slip cover.

Used to keep it on so I could use the flap as a bookmark. Figured that it'll cause dents and tears so I removed it.

But I still didn't get a proper bookmark. Very Happy

I always take mine off when I read it because I like to keep the covers in good condition and I am afraid something might happen to it.

I always take it off when i am reading because it is easier and I don't want to take a chance of the cover getting ripped, etc.
