So, Oasis without cover attached lasts about 1.5-2 days. With cover it held for 8 days - more or less like my Voyage.
With this data one can easily see that Amazon's claim about longest battery life is sales pitch, to put it bluntly.

I think the problem rest on Amazon decision to split the battery in two parts, one at the device and another one at the cover. The battery at the cover can only be used for charging the battery at the device. It can't be used for powering the device itself and that's why in my case, the device shut itself down even though there was still 44% battery charge left at the cover. Had Amazon combined the two batteries in one unit, we wouldn't have this problem since the battery could then be used at its maximum potential.
