Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

How this cover passed Amazon’s quality control, I have no idea. It fails at the most fundamental level: it does not stay on. There are two ways in which the cover fails almost 100% of the time: 1. Fold it behind your Kindle like you would a paperback cover (yes it’s intended to be used this way, because the magnet sticks the cover flap to the back of your Kindle in the folded position). Then when you try to fold it back to the closed position by pushing your fingers between the Kindle and the cover flap, the cover comes right off, smooth as butter. If you’re holding the Kindle up at the time (as opposed to, say, laying it on your lap), then you’re guaranteed to drop your cover, Kindle, or both to the ground. 2. Fold the cover behind your Kindle and lay your Kindle flat on the table. Then when you attempt to pick up your Kindle by gripping the exposed metal, the device comes right off, leaving the cover on the table. No amount of force is necessary to do this. The device literally peels right off the cover, as if it were designed to do so. This cover is bad. Even if you accept that it leaves a big part of your device completely exposed and that the cover itself has uncomfortably sharp edges, and even if you were to consider those as “design choices”, the fact that the cover does not stay on, and potentially increases the chances of dropping your device as a result, makes this a failure. I’m almost tempted to return my new Oasis itself and go back to the impeccably designed Voyage + cover combo as a result of this experience. This is the worst ever design from Amazon, and I’ve had every single Kindle and cover combination since the very beginning. FAIL.
