I'm an Industrial Designer myself, so I might be biased
I just love the Oasis with its buttons, it's ergonomic shape with the bulk of the weight in the palm of your hand. I don't like covers (always use my phone and tablet without!), as they block the design of the device.
When traveling or during idle periods, the snap on case would be a plus, and it will recharge the base units as well.
I'm pretty much sold on the Oasis already, the only thing that keeps me from ordering is the price (read: the look on my wife's face when the mailman arrives) and the stories of visible light cones from the LED's.
