Solar Kindle Cover

Something that would concern me is heat.  I have a solar Ni-MH charger and it gets really hot in direct sunlight.  I wonder if that would be a concern?

I got my cover today. I will let you know if it works. I am still waiting for the reserve battery to charge my kindle, at this moment.

Update - As soon after typing this, the red light stopped flashing. It works! My kindle battery is charged. I am not sure if the light is brighter on the Amazon lighted cover, so will have to do a comparison test.

Could you post some pictures of the Kindle in the case? Also did it come with something to help get the Kindle out of the case?

My worry too - Li-ion batteries don't like getting too hot. The battery in my current solar charger is already down to 70% capacity after only 3 months. I'd hate to leave my Kindle in the sun anyway, and the way that cover is made, you can only charge the battery when the cover is closed.

It looks just like the pics on the Amazon's page. It's wider & longer than Amazon's lighted cover. The weight feels about the same. No non-metal thing included. I feel that it would have been nice if they did include something, to make it easier to remove. However, as long as the cover & kindle work, I am keeping it on. It's not such a big deal to let the sun shine on it for an hour, more or less, here & there, or under a lamp light.
