Customers like the smoothness of the cover. They mention that the texture feels good, and it looks snazzy. The cover protects your screen with a microfiber soft interior liner, a hard shell with a nicely, vibrant color. The color is vibrant and the fabric texture is great to hold. It doesn't feel like sandpaper, but it is rough but not annoying or irritating. It creates a nice, solid feel when reading. The fabric cover is not as rough or scratchy as they expected, and is a lot smoother than expected. The hard and rough cover is sturdier and a great contrast to the smooth texture of the oasis itself.
"...The inside of the flap is actually a quite soft felt material. It's great and comfortable to hold when the flap is open and tucked around back...." Read more
"...(Leather early paperwhite one, I miss that one, it is pretty and soft and had nice patina) scraped once from a fall and lifted...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the case. Some mention that it's very well made, the tensile strength of the cloth is good, and the quality lives up to expectations. However, others say that the product falls apart and they refuse to fix a poorly made product. The external is a tough cloth, and sometimes the edges fray and pull a tiny strip of fabric.

Customers are mixed about the portability of the Amazon Book reader accessory. Some mention it's great and comfortable to hold when the flap is open and tucked around, while others say that the case is robust yet lacks a comfortable grip, and it'd be difficult to hold while lying down. However, this blocks the natural hand hold position built into the device, and customers' hands get tired of handing it in one hand afterward a while.
"...like a very thin suede, so when you’re holding it to read it, it feels great. Also, it’s very sturdy and the magnetic closure is STRONG...." Read more

Customers are disappointed with the durability of the cover. They mention that the edges are peeling off, the rubber rim on the outside has started peeling incredibly badly, and the fabric cover is unraveling. Some say that the hard plastic is already cracking.
"...But over time, two corners broke due to excessive dropping onto floors. My fault, as it is certainly not slippery...." Read more
"...Summary: -2 Stars off for the moulding peeling with under month use and no scratches/damage. -1 Star off for my first..." Read more
"...I love that it is slim. What I don’t like is how quickly the corners chipped off. I take my kindle everywhere. I wear these things out...." Read more
"...I tried spot cleaning it, but that didn’t really help. The edges also started fraying...." Read more
This is definitely a nice case no doubt about it. However it does make the kindle heavier. My hand gets tired of handing it in one hand afterward a while with the case on versus without the case I have no issue.
I purchased this case the same time I purchased my oasis so that I could protect it. I was really super happy that I did that because I don’t really like scratches on things. The fit is perfect, it just snapped right on. It looks really good and it actually matches my laptop cover so that’s a bonus for me. it is a little bit textured so if you like a smoother texture, I might not go with this one as it does have a different feel about it. I actually like the way it looks and the feel so I’m super happy with it. I like the gray color and I think it makes my oasis look very posh. I would definitely purchase again.
This is my 2nd case. The reason I went with this is from what I learned from the other. First, the textured cover is much better than the smooth, slick cover of the other I tried. The texture stops the kindle from sliding around, making it easy to set it most places without worrying about it sliding. It would slide if you put it at a severe angle of course (and why would you do that), but it doesn’t slide around absolutely everywhere like the smooth covers. The texture is rough but not in an unpleasant way. It doesn’t feel like sandpaper. It’s just textured. Rough but not annoying or irritating. The inside feels like a very thin suede, so when you’re holding it to read it, it feels great. Also, it’s very sturdy and the magnetic closure is STRONG. My first case had a magnetic closure but not as strong, and it would let loose after I put the kindle away, effectively draining my battery. This one stays put. I know some reviews said it’s hard to open, but I don’t find that to be a problem. Yes, the magnets are strong, but not where you have to work hard to pry it open. Having had the alternative, the strong magnets are a huge plus. Plus, should I drop it, I want those to hold, otherwise what good is it?
I didn’t get this one first because there were cheaper alternatives but now I know why this costs what it does. Durable, easy to clean (should you need to), strong and reliable magnetic closures, comfortable to hold both in how it feels to the touch and its weight. Which is next to nothing. Especially having had another case to compare it to. I thought that one was light...compared to this, it wasn’t light at all. I feel this case will last the life of my kindle, which makes it well worth the price.
So to start off, the feel. The fabric probably isn't what you'd initially imagine. It's tightly woven and feels more like a rough plastic than soft fabric. I think that's probably good for durability. It feels harder and therefore more sturdy. The blue was less bright than the pictures made it look, which was what I had hoped. The inside of the flap is actually a quite soft felt material. It's great and comfortable to hold when the flap is open and tucked around back. Also oddly the inside material smelled like matcha out of the box... no complaints there! It is held closed by magnets, and automatically turns on when the cover is opened. As a bonus the magnets also hold it open when you flip the cover to the back.
I just wish the hinge were a bit more sturdy, when it's open and you hold it in one hand the flap moves up and down a bit causing the fabric to run together which isn't super pleasant.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A great case

I recently purchased a new Oasis e-reader and realized after about a week I really needed to get a cover. Don't get me wrong, it's a great reader but I felt it was a little too slippery with the all aluminum case. I also wanted to protect it because it just seemed a little too fragile having it lay around with no protective cover. An additional feature would be the fact it would turn off automatically when I closed the cover rather than having to manually push the on/off button without one. One of the main reasons I upgraded to the Oasis is the fact that it is water proof. I love reading out in the pool during the warm summer months and was always nervous about dropping my 2nd generation paper white in the drink. When Kindle came out with waterproof versions I knew this was the way to go. So my cover had to be waterproof as well which narrowed my choices. After reading several reviews it just seemed to me the safest bet was to stick with the Amazon brand so I ordered the water-safe fabric cover in charcoal black. I can honestly say this cover was exactly what I was hoping it would be. It fits the Oasis perfectly without adding much weight or bulk. It improves the grip tremendously and is very easy to hold. I like the fact that now all I have to do is close the cover to turn the Oasis off and best of all it looks amazing. The front is very easy to open and close and the reader is still very light weight with no arm fatigue even after hours of reading. It is designed to fit the outline of the Oasis perfectly thus maintaining the ergonomics of the reader itself. I cannot recommend this particular cover highly enough. It has met and exceeded all of my expectations and is worth the few extra dollars over any other brand.
Nice cover, love the color. But the piece in the edge started separating ftom the front cover after just 4 months of daily use. Not fancy but completely serviceable. And after spending a lot more money on fancy covers for previous Kindles, which I could not reuse when the shape of the new Kindles were different, the price is much better for this one.
The main things I want in a kindle case (beyond offering some level of protection) are: 1. lightweight and easy to hold, 2. non-problematic sleep wake function and 3. pleasing to look at. I searched high and low for different case options and after trying out a few (and returning them), I reluctantly settled on this one - I wasn't a big fan of the fabric and color. But now that I've been using this case for more than a month, I have to say I actually really like it!
I've had no problems with the sleep/wake function - it works perfectly. The texture of the fabric makes the cover very comfortable to hold. Additionally, the case is quite minimal and keeps a very streamlined look to the Oasis. And the blue actually looks quite pretty and elegant in person. Most importantly, I feel that my Kindle is well-protected and very secure. Really happy with this case!
I bought the cover together with a Kindle Oasis. The charcoal black colour blends very well with the kindle colour and the texture uplifted it and gives it a classy look. It fits the kindle very nicely, and with well-thought-of design that takes care of the buttons and unique shape of Kindle Oasis. Enjoyed it!
Only worth it if you buy it at a discount - this thing makes the Kindle Oasis way too heavy to hold on one hand, especially when doing night time reading (the whole purpose of Oasis). The case is very very nice and high quality though.
