mldavis2, I think you just explained it pretty well. That appears to be the theory: The case builds up ESD over time. Eventually the ESD gets to a level where it can penetrate the coating, sending a burst of static discharge into the Kindle. Removing the coating allows for a constant ground that prevents that build up.

I may re-order an unlighted cover and try it out.
