And it appears I'm not the only one, as Kobo has copied the design from Amazon and now uses it for its own premium readers. But yes, as with any other invention there are people who find it not to their taste and unfortunately you're one of them. Perhaps you should get a new Paperwhite or a Kobo Clara instead?
By the way, I use this case for both of my Oases, as they're a bit too slippery naked:

I don't find it slippery, really. It's just the size of my hand or the length of my fingers, how bony my hands are, or
something, but the damned right-side heel digs into the palm of my hand, when I try to hold it one-handed, which is how I
always read digitally. Hell, for that matter, it's how I generally hold ppbks. (Altho, no, not to the break-the-spine point).
Can't explain it, but I've hated it since I got it and still do. I use it daily, mind you, so I've given it plenty of time to grow on me. Same with the Fire 10". It's just the wrong damn size. Too big, too clunky. (FWIW, I'm WILDLY underwhelmed with the Boox 10" too.)
