And it entailed more charging cycles for the Oasis, usually not good for the life of the battery.
I think what would work better is something like the iPad covers which magnetically attach to one side and cover the display side only. But iPads had the necessary magnets to allow for the edge attachment, and Scribe doesn't.

i didn't mean that the cover should also be a supplementary battery. i just think the idea of a cover attaching and detaching via magnets is a very good idea. transferring what worked for the original oasis (magnetic cover feature only, not the battery part) to the oasis 2 would have been nice.
the reMarkable attaches this way as well.
