I ordered the 'green' cover for my daughter's k4NT. Trust me on this: IT IS NOT GREEN IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. The picture on amazon's website is extremely misleading. It's more brown, than anything.

Completely different device with different physical dimensions, and therefore, a case that has no relevance to this discussion at all.

Someone posted photos of the so-called green cover on Amazon's website. No sh#t, not even close to green. More like a dark yellow in those photos. Apparently the person in charge of labeling the colors is color blind.

Huh. You're right. It never occurred to me that the Touch version would be different from the K4 version, I suspect I'm not the only one. Looks like I'll have to cancel that one and re-order.

Yeah, they're completely different physical dimensions -- the Touch is larger. So you wouldn't be using a K4NT cover with it

My black, Kindle Touch lighted cover is still showing an estimated delivery of Nov 28th. It was ordered Sept. 28th.

However, the current description on the site has definitely changed and I even had some trouble finding the lighted covers. They aren't listed to the right of the Kindle Touch page as "recommended accessories" and they aren't listed at the bottom of the page where you can scroll left/right through accessories.

I even did a search on amazon and the hits up top were Marware and non-lighted covers.

I ordered a brown one a couple weeks back and I still have the, "We'll let you know" status. I've been with Amazon Kindle since 1.0. They always do this. I think they call it "expectation management."; they announce sketchy release dates, give various estimates in the interim, and then deliver "early." Brilliant.
