(But my objection to the metal back is not that it seems cheap -- it doesn't. It's the thermal conductivity. I mean, yes, it's mostly fixed with a Fintie skin, but while the result is no longer actually painful, it still doesn't feel as nice as the plastic-and-rubber combo of the original Oasis -- mostly because of the rubber backing on the thicker wedge.)

I totally agree. Metal/aluminum doesn't look fancier to me. And I really dislike how cold it feels on a device I have in my hand for hours at a time.
My problem with the cold back has been solved with my back cover, but I still think a plastic back would have been better (comfort over sleekness). But I do know lots of people like the Oasis as it is.
