I have had good luck turning off the auto backlight setting. (Read about this online). If you'll pay attention you'll notice with auto backlight the screen will surge a good bit. I found an app with a "widget" so you can quickly switch between settings. Allows 0/25/50/75/100%. I have found...

It's well made very well, actually a pain to get open and closed. Not much of a problem around here but the zipper can freeze up when it'...

I'm assuming this is for breaching doors a'la SWAT. Blowing doorknobs and hinges, etc. You know what they say about assumptions.
