Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I received this cover yesterday and read my Oasis with it on for several hours last night. As exepcted, the wake/sleep function worked perfectly. I was surprised at how lightweight it is: at 111 grams it is actually 8 grams lighter that the first official Amazon case that was discontinued. Unlike that first case it fully covers the back of the Oasis. When open, it folds completely around the back of the reader, making it much easier to hold the Oasis even while lying in bed. My favorite way to hold it while reading is with the Oasis lightly resting in my palm, with my thumb in front near the buttons so I can easily change pages, my index finger between the two covers, and the other three fingers resting on the back cover. It works great whether I'm holding my Oasis in my right hand or left. Those readers who prefer to use the Oasis without a cover will be pleased to know that it can easily be removed from this cover (unlike the Paperwhite and its official cover). Personally, I found the metal back of the Oasis cold and difficult to hold while lying down so I've been forced to rely on third-party covers up until now but have ultimately been disappoined in their defects or lack of durability. I only wish Amazon had released this cover last year; it would have saved me quite a bit of money I ended up spending on subpar alternatives!
