I am not sure but besides thinking that plastic/nylon as thin as the hooks would not work (as in being strong enough to not break or snap), I've read that they are coated with paint or vinyl. If that scraps off, the underlying metal would be exposed.
If the lighted case does not cause interference inside those slots (and the lighted case is definitely carrying electric current), then what would the UNlighted case be doing in those same slots on the kindle? It really seems as if there is a wire/wires that are probably wrongly located in the UNlighted case that are misaligned for not sufficiently covered/insulated that is causing a short.
But, clearly, Amazon should be able to figure it out easily. Take one of the darn things apart and see what defect is causing the short or has the potential to cause a short.
But I am obviously completely speculating as what might be the underlying issues. I am definitely not an electrical/electronic engineer. More curious than anything. I'm just glad/fortunate enough to have decided I wanted LIGHT and went with the lighted case. But, who knows, pulling that light in/out of its sleeve will probably loosen something over time and create issues, too.
