Product Description
SolarKindle Lighted Cover- 3 month + unplugged power
Keep Your Kindle Protected, Powered and Illuminated
The first solar cover for the Amazon Kindle e-reader takes an environmentally friendly approach to enhancing form and utility. The SolarKindle Lighted Cover is designed to look smart and feel great in your hands without being bulky or heavy. The form-fitted cover keeps your Kindle safe while discretely adding functionality with a built-in solar panel that charges the reserve battery for the LED reading lamp in addition to providing extra power for the Kindle. Best of all, the reading lamp draws power from the reserve battery, not the Kindle, so you won't have to worry about draining the Kindle's battery.
Have Light Whenever You Need It
The cover's built-in LED reading lamp is available whenever you need it, providing unparalleled coverage and illumination over the screen surface of the Kindle, reaching up to 800 lux. The reading lamp turns on automatically when released from its housing, and automatically turns off when pressed back into place, or when the Kindle goes into sleep mode. Most importantly, it only draws power from the reserve battery, never from the Kindle itself.

Fantastic product,
This review is from: Solar leather lighted cover for Kindle 4 (Please note current Lighted Cover fits AMAZON "KINDLE" only, new products for Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Touch & other Kindle Models are under development.) (Electronics)
I got one of these and was a little skeptical at first. I have been using it for several days now and it really does perform as stated. My K probably will never see another wall plug which is fine with me. I am amazed at how well the K fits into it and it makes the K easier to hold onto. It also relieves some of the fear factor of damaging the K. Looks and feels expensive..... maybe they will come out with colors? I hope they make one for my iPad!

This review is from: Solar leather lighted cover for Kindle 4 (Please note current Lighted Cover fits AMAZON "KINDLE" only, new products for Kindle Keyboard, Kindle Touch & other Kindle Models are under development.) (Electronics)
I've only had this cover for two weeks but it seems to work quite well. The cover is a little bulky, about 3/4" thick, it makes the Kindle the size of a normal paperback book. The kindle fits snugly in the case and can be a pain to take out, a butter knife will pop it out with no damage. When I got the case I fully charged it with my USB cable like the directions stated and that has been the last time the cords been used. I live in Las Vegas so we have plentiful sunshine. I put the Kindle in the window sill when I go to work and that's all the sunshine it gets. It did take about 3 days worth of charging to get back to a full charge after I drained the cover battery to below 30%. But I was using it a lot during that time. The only thing I had to be careful about was that if it was in the window sill with the window closed the cover got pretty hot. I remedied that by cracking the window open so some cool air blew on the case. Their are only two couple of things I'd change about the cover.1) I would like to be able to dim the reading light. I have a 2 week old daughter and when I'm rocking her to sleep at night the light it pretty powerful, i put a piece of scotch tape over it to dim it. 2) To tell the cover battery charge level the cover LED light goes from Green-Orange-Red. Orange and red look a little to much alike, at a glance you might think it one was the other. A charge indicator that was a little more precise would be nice. Whether it was a LCD screen with a percentage or maybe bars like on your cell phone signal strength. The orange covers 30%-80% charge level, so mine is usually always orange. I bought this cover because I'm in the military and go places where electricity isn't always reliable. It will never lower your power bill enough to pay for itself, but it's nice to be able to put one power cord in a drawer and forget about it. If I had to do it all over again, I'd still buy this cover. I like it.

I have purchased solar chargers before, but many didn't work as expected.The Solar leather lighted cover worked as intended. I now have the cover left on the window sill to charge, and no more fiddling with power adapters. This would be ideal when traveling, as I would have one less charger and adapter to worry about. Improvements that I can suggest: - It does add thickness and weight to the Kindle. I'm sure that future versions will be smaller, however I bought the Kindle 4 for it's small and slim size. - Hard to remove from holder. Once the kindle is attached to the cover, it fits great, but removing isn't very easy. When I travel and want to read, I'd prefer to remove the kindle from the cover for the mobility. Overall, I am very happy with the product.
