Thanks for writing with your question.
MyMusicFolders.com carries folders that are meant to be used in performance, held in hand, and ones that are either for use on a stand or for people who memorize the music and don't use a folder in performance. The Performing type folders have a flexible plastic spine that curves and makes for a more comfortable hold, instead of a sharp corner or edge on the backside. This spine can be flexed gently and will eventually lie pretty flat, but at first, it is a little stiff, as you noticed.
The exception to this general rule is the MyChoir Binder folders, which lie absolutely flat, even while still incorporating the flexible plastic spine. This is because of their fundamentally different construction method, where the 3-ring adaptor is riveted directly through that flexible plastic spine.
