Case-mate Brings Enlightening Solution for Nighttime Kindle Reading
It feels really weird when new things come out and at times it feels like we are back in the early 1990’s. Anyone remember the old GameBoys? Or what about the older Palm Pilots? The common link between these devices is the lack of a backlight which which caused some accessory manufacturers to build lights that shine on top of the LCD display. As it was back then, so it is again now with the Kindle. As the point of Kindle is to have an LCD display that is paper-like in appearance and soft on the eyes, having a backlight would not seem proper. But if you shine light on top it’s just like reading a book – and that is what Case-mate’s new Enlighten does.
Coming in December, for a fair price of $80 the Enlighten will be “the first case on the market equipped with a LED-powered light for nighttime reading as well as an interior side pocket for storage”.
Using only 2 AAA batteries to provide nearly 24 hours of reading time, the Enlighten features a clear acrylic panel with an integrated LED light with 2 levels of brightness.
