I used a Dremel tool to cut off the outside edge of the case's back, used two sticky pads I had to keep the reader firmly in place. Not a perfect solution but it works for now. Serendipitously the iPad's camera hole on the back matched closely with the KA1's on/off switch.

If interested, the sticky pads were a 'Kickstarter' project I supported. Their name is "Stikk" - a unique re-usabledouble sided gel pad that will stick anything to everything.

See pictures of front, open, and back-with notes.
Thanks for the great ideas. I just ordered an inexpensive ipad mini case from Amazon. The kind that has the elastic straps. That will work temporarily until more cases come out.
