The Oasis weighs the same almost, as my Paperwhite.
These devices always need to be combined with a screen protector, and screen protectors on these devices, are more like pouches or boxes than lids.
Meaning, they will clamp down on the back of the device, to cover the screen.

You could almost put the Oasis hardware without back, in a screen protector. No need for exotic backplate materials like they did on the Oasis, since no one will actually use them without protection.
