Coolio! I'll probably be ordering one, though I'm not fond of the cover itself.
It seems to suffer from the same uneven spreading of light that the Sony case light does.

Here are its key features:
* Clear acrylic panel with integrated LED light with two levels of brightness
* Old English book style with genuine leather exterior and locking hinges to secure the device
* Interior side pocket for storage
* View prior pages using the previous page button
* Two AAA batteries (included) provide a maximum of 24 hours reading time
* Available in December ($79.99)
We've been playing around with an early unit, and it works pretty well although the light doesn't splay across the screen as uniformly as it does in the included press-release images (on the left side, the light leaks onto the Kindle screen and creates an interesting ripple effect). Hopefully, Case-mate can tweak the lighting a bit before launch because overall the design of the unit--aside from making your Kindle substantially heavier--is attractive and the acrylic panel does offer another layer of screen protection.
