This ties in with what CS told me, that they are trying to reduce the weight.
Still worth checking the dimensions tho'.

I just received my Oberon case and it's very, very, nice. It's not light though. Not having a Paperwhite, I can't confirm that Oberon's Voyage case also fits the Paperwhite... but the case is a bit "oversized," so I wouldn't be surprised... and, yes, the case does have a magnet built into it, to enable the auto-on/off feature.
I would like to get a cheap, light, thin, case with the auto-on/off feature. Some of the cases being discussed, recently, in this thread look good... except I'm not sure how easy it would be to take the Voyage in and out of the case.
Does the Voyage snap into a plastic shell? How is it held into the case? Is the shell likely to break if you take your Voyage in and out too much?
Thank you...
