The Kandle budge on my Kindle, which is still in my leather sleeve. The bracket is very robust and padded so that the Kindle would collect no scratches. The illumination is true. Of course it is up a bit brighter than the bottom, but not a problem. The brightness of the Kandle can be regulated very well. You can see the "flap" simply on (bright) or close a little more (darker).
Even after 10 hours Read the Kandle keeps the battery still. The most important is that the eyes are not strained by the light and fatigue-free reading is still possible without any problems.
From me five stars ... a good buy.
