Cover attached via magnets so not locked into exact position on the reader apparently. This is one of the few Kindles I do not have along with the PW1 and early Kindle Basics.
Not every Oasis 1 had problems with contacts or attachment. Mine didn't. It worked perfectly. I actually liked it very much and was a bit sorry to sell it, but I just no longer read on 6'' screens, so didn't have any use for it.
