I have the lighted case, but I also this (I bought mine at Best Buy for $7):

I cut a piece of a shipping box to fit into the inside pocket (and covered it in black duct tape to make it pretty). It's a tight fit, but manageable, especially with the cardboard keeping the case stretched open. I insert the reader upside down with the screen toward the cardboard. That way, I have screen protection and I can sync/charge in the case.
