From what I hear around here, the Octovo Solis would be a good fit. UNFORTUNATELY, the protective skin on my Kindle adds 4mm thickness, so according to the CS Rep, it will not fit on my Kindle.

Anyone have recommendations?
When I read your post I was a bit concerned as I have a DecalGirl skin and plan to get an Octovo Solis light. I then realized that the "skin" you were talking about was actually a silicone case. I think - I hope - that the light will fit over just a skin. I checked with DecalGirl (live chat) but they do not have experience with this particular light. The person I spoke with said the skin is about 2-3mm thick.

Has anyone here tried this light with a skin so they can confirm whether or not the light will fit?
