Also, could it clip onto a Kindle with a protective skin (not a decorative skin like DecalGirl; protective skins are thicker)? In other words, about how thick of an object can it clip onto?

Finally, does it run on AA or AAA batteries? The description states that it runs on AA batteries, but this review claims that it runs AAA batteries. Could someone who owns this product please verify which one is correct?

Thanks!

It sort of slides on the kindle. The pieces are long enough that it won't snap off. I have not had that happen.

I use it with a Decalgirl skin, and it fits fine. I am not sure how much thicker protective skins are, as I do not have one. There is a pad on the inside of one of the "prongs", it could easily be removed. It is roughly 3mm think.

It uses AA batteries.

Hope that helped.
