some observations

The side of the Fintie case is completely flat.
The Omoton case has this little ridge on the side that makes it much more comfortable to rest your thumb on and use the page turn buttons. For this reason alone I would recommend it over the Fintie. Also the little ridge makes it easier to open the cover.

The Omoton looks pretty close to the Amazon paperwhite case which I really like. The fintie case is completely open on the top and bottom. So I guess the Omoton gives a bit more protection if dropped on the top or bottom.

The "leather" of the Fintie case feels a little better than the Omoton. The fintie is smooth while Omoton is rough feeling.

Both do auto wake/sleep and have the hole cut out on the back for the power button. Both stay closed and shouldn't open on their own.

Both cases are very light and add very little bulk to the voyage. Both seem pretty thin compared to the Amazon paperwhite case.

Overall I prefer the Omoton case over the Fintie. For the price these are being sold at right now I think anyone would be happy with either one. If you feel you need more room for your thumb while holding the voyage, go with the Omoton. If that doesn't bother you and all you want is a slightly better feeling case, go with the Fintie.
Thanks for this, I think I'm going with the Fintie. I'd love to try an Omoton case but for some reason we can't buy them in the UK and I've yet to find an ebay seller of them that will ship over here.
