I have big hands, and I hated the metal feel like of the original PRS-505!
It was the biggest draw back.
I prefer the lighter weight plastic body of the original Oasis.
While I haven't really tested the thumb position, or how it holds in the hand, the Oasis 2 is just about as heavy as my other readers, or lighter. So it's not an issue for me.
I'm not too eager to put a sleeve on the Oasis, just for not feeling the metal housing.
I feel that a device like the oasis, made with a plastic body, needs only a flap to protect the front screen.
