And one day, you'll pull the Oasis from your pocket to find the screen shattered. Is this what you want? You are risking your Oasis. There is a much greater risk of being broken when you carry it around in a pocket. Now a back pants pocket is even more ricky. I don't think it's a matter of IF you will break your Oasis but a matter of WHEN. You WILL be putting undue stress and could end up either shattering the screen in one go or putting enough stress on the Oaiss that the screen gets enough micro-fractures to just BREAK when you least expect it.

Also, since the Oasis fits in your back pocket, your pants are too big. You NEED to get pants that are not so oversized (think clown pants).

If you MUST have a Kindle in your back pocket, try to find a refurbished Basic Kindle. Because when that breaks, you won't be out of pocket ($$) nearly as much as you will when your Oasis breaks and your Oasis WILL break.
