So after a few days of breaking in the case I searched around for a booklight that could be attached to the hidden pocket below the top left corner of the device. First, I went to Best Buy to try out the M-Edge Eluminator2 light and fit perfectly in the pocket -- My main complaint with this light is that it doesn't travel well in a pocket and it cannot be stowed anywhere on the case when not in use. Worse yet, it sells for an overpriced $25
I went to my local Barnes and Noble and found this little gem -- The Mighty Bright UltraThin 2 LED Book Light

It's only $9.95 and it slides perfectly in the hidden pocket -- This avoids the potential of damaging the case when using a clip-on booklight. Once inserted, the light stays secured even when shifting positions while reading.
The 2 LED's are easily bright enough for the Opus and it can be folded up to a pocket friendly size; Alternatively, it can also be clipped onto the opening for the leather strap while closed (see pics).
Better news is that this case is still on sale for only $19.99 at Radio Shack until 6/19/10.
For those of you wondering about the security of the straps, I've actually tossed it up and down several times like a vertical frisbee and it hasn't shifted one bit! The design of the 4 bracket system also makes it really easy to remove whenever necessary. All in all, I am supremely confident that the Opus would stay in its case if I ever dropped it.
So for the combined cost of less than $30, I am extremely happy to have found a stylish, perfectly tailored case and an attachable portable booklight that can be easily carried wherever I go.
Feel free to ask me any questions...
