Still though, my point is there is no option for those that like to take their Oasis out to read. None, not one of the 3rd party covers works like that. So there are a lot of options for those that like to read with it in the cover, have super protection all around and what have you. But there are zero covers for those like me that like to read their Oasis without a cover and just need one to place it in and out in between reading. Like the original was designed for.

I have one of the originals and it performs exactly as I had expected. That it comes off easy is part of its function. Its only on when I don't read. So there is no way for anything to fall off. I open it, grab the Oasis to take it off and read. I am done reading, I quickly slap it back on. Easy. Sure, lots of folks didn't like that, I am not arguing that. But the point remains that there are zero options right now in covers for the Oasis that come off easy. Not a one. And I do consider that an issue. Especially since not even Amazon has one right now to sell.

Making one that functions this way doesn't take away the gazillion of options for everyone else.

I have had 3rd party covers in the past, with varying success. My Oasis1 and my Voyage though had the official. I couldn't find a 3rd party at the time for the Voyage that function so it comes off easy. On my first Paperwhite the covers were so hard to take off, I gave up. Didn't like that device anyway.

My older kindles all have 3rd party covers, K1, KK and the button basic. Still they come out easy of those. No prying them fearing to break the device.

Just one option to have would be nice. I'd like another cover, one that isn't suede. But there are none so I still wait. And wait.
