Therefore equating the price of the Voyage plus the most expensive case to me isn't a fair comparison, if it has to be compared with an official Amazon case then use the price of the basic one, as it does exist, not the Vintage leather case at double the price.

The *easily-gougable* leather case, don't forget. This is a case you can't put in your pocket lest it get damaged, because it's not practically replaceable yet is also an essential part of the device. It's sort of an anti-case in that respect: you have to treat it as carefully as the thing it allegedly protects. A non-"premium" case that actually protects the thing and is harder to damage accidentally but which also contains the battery would have been far preferable. Oh no maybe it would weigh 20g more, how terrible; if you want light weight you take it out of the case.
I love the Oasis's ergonomics and the way the battery case gives me back a decent battery lifespan, but that doesn't mean I don't think it was a crazy design and way overpriced for what it does.
