My scale registers the nekkid Kindle (WiFi+3G) at 8 1/8 oz (231g) and the lighted case at 7 5/8 oz (214g). So that's 15 3/4 oz (445g) total. It doubt that the unlighted case is much different in weight.

By comparison, my old K1 in the M-Edge case is 15 3/8 oz (435g) without a light attached. The naked device is 10.5 oz (296g) and the case is fairly light but not very sturdy at a little under 5 oz (139g) . The stock case was 5 3/4 oz (164g) and a bit stiffer. So that brings the old stock device + case to 16 1/4 oz (460g). I can't find my light right now so I don't know how much it weighs exactly but it's at least a few ounces.
