I have read a few reports of the LIGHTED cover causing problems but very few.

Looking at various dissection videos of the k3, it appears that Amazon used one of the internal connectors as a SERIAL PORT connector besides supplying power to the light. I have no idea what they do with a serial port in the k3 but I guess potentially, there might be some cross connection or short that can occur sometimes that might trigger a reboot. This is pure speculation on my part.

It certainly might be better if the k3 was off and not just sleeping when inserting or removing the k3 from the cover. I don't recall the actual directions on using the cover other than the proper angles to hook it physically. But I don't recall any power on/off instructions but they may have been in the instructions.
