The screen is second to none (for me), and that is what I try to focus on, rather than the (IMO) awkwardly lumpy bumpy body.
I’m sure Amazon are going to release either a new Oasis or replacement very soon, and this is why they have been tinkering backstage with the listings for the current one (and messing them up in the process  ).
I’m happy with this one now, except for the battery life, of course. |
Thanks. I was looking something like this, but wasn't using right search terms. I see there are also some with solid color.
Still, it adds a couple of ounces, almost a third of Oasis' weight.
I've replaced the duct tape with a patch of thin, closed-cell neoprene foam. It's still a little more slippery than I'd like, but a clear improvement over bare metal.
