I have that case and a Kandle, so I tested them together. It holds fine, but there is a shadow at the top of the 350's display, at least 1/4" or 6mm, where any repositioning to lessen the shadow makes the attachment tenuous. The problem is that the light source does not sit out far enough when the Kandle is clamped onto the thick case + 350. This is due to Kandle being a clamp, where the light source opens up from the same pivot point as the clamp itself. So there's the angle of the clamp, then another additive angle of the light source. So it's better when the clamp angle is less.

On the bare 350 there's no shadow, and on the 350 in a TPU skin I can position the Kandle at a slight angle forward so there's no shadow.

Having said that, I have been using the Kandle on the 350 with TPU skin, and don't recall whether I repositioned the light or just lived with the shadow. But I'm relatively oblivious to comfort issues, so my experiences have little bearing on how you would feel about the shadow. My wild guess would be that you wouldn't like it, unless your ebooks have large top margins or you really value the compactness of the Kandle.
