I honestly don't see how anyone could use the Oasis without a case - I had a real run of bad luck with my Oasis (took three tries to get one without noticeable screen defects, and the body of the first one was even bent straight out of the box) - and I tried reading each one to see if I could get used to the defects before "committing to it" by putting it in a case. However, without a case, the Oasis is just too slippery for me, and the indent in the back isn't deep enough to make me feel comfortable that it wouldn't slip out of my hands.

I put some strips of a Talon Grip sheet on my Oasis 2. Now it's really comfortable to hold and slickness is no longer an issue. I don't even have a case for it (I put in a sleeve when not reading).
