I broke off the bracket/hinge from my cover while trying to bend it back (not having heated it first as suggested in the other answer, so try that first). After that I completely removed the plastic grey strip.

The strip is connected at 4 points to the inside of the spine of the cover, and was glued in the middle. You can cut through the connection points with a wire-cutter; work from the outside by lifting the (remains of) the bracket to make space for the cutter. After that use a thin cutter-knife to separate the plastic from the rest of the cover.

I used two pieces of 3.5" velcro sticky back tape (hook & loop) to attach the reader to the right inner side of the cover. Make sure the velcro doesn't cover the reset hole (being able to reset is the reason to use velcro and not something more permanent). I must say the result handles better than with the backside of the cover non-attached.
