Just illustrates how usability is in the mind (or hand) of the user. I get where you're coming from, but I too have landed on the Forma. After a few days of testing an Oasis 2 (including now with a case) against the Forma, I still prefer the Forma and decided to keep it. My Forma without a case is 4oz lighter than the Oasis with a slim light case. The Forma also has that soft grippy surface and rounded corners and edges. And that slightly angled, wider ledge where the buttons are, makes it easier to hold onto. This to me is a big advantage for the Forma, as I have a neuropathy that makes hands go numb if I hold anything with sharper edges and any significant weight in one position for very long. Also the Forma has 2 other things I just find irresistible: that big, pretty screen with natural lighting option, and better battery life and better wifi management (I don't have to constantly turn off wifi to preserve battery life).
