ok, but if you show it to anyone i'm denying i did it! i had green gaffer tape which was wider and then some white which was narrow. i think i could have gotten by with just a very narrow strip which followed the transition where the bulge tapers off as that gives me the best grip. also, i wouldn't pull this stunt with anything but gaffers tape or another type that won't leave a residue when you peel it off.

i will say though that, compared to the bare metal, it makes a world of difference.

btw, i just boxed up my original oasis to sell it back to amazon. it ended up being my favorite kindle i've owned just due to the lightness and compactness although i kept the case on all the time. i won't miss the kludgy two-battery system though--the new oasis charges about 25-33% faster although it'll take awhile before i can compare battery life.
