Sure, one does not have to use the buttons, but then it's awkward to work around them to use tap or swipe because there's nowhere to keep the thumb without accidentally pressing them. And thumb has to be glued to a single location on the grip side, even if a better balance point is just a bit lower. It's almost impossible to operate the buttons if the screen is pointing down (e.g. when reclining). Switching hands involves a tenuous juggle instead of a smooth transfer.
So I was more than happy to trade it in for Scribe.
I haven't started shopping for cases. I haven't gotten one for any of my Kindles since my Voyage. I might need something just to park the Pen more securely. But I'm concerned about adding weight and bulk, and the hassle of returning if I am not lucky enough to pick one that I'll like.

If they did it correctly there would be an option in settings to turn the buttons off. If not, both sides should be the width of the wide side. It is far too easy to turn pages when holding it just with the left hand because you have to temporarily use your right for something else and that causes pinching a bit more with the left turning pages like a tradewind.
I'm using the Amazon case so far. The Fintie Oasis easel flip case is a better design. With it you get 3 solid easel positions and can micro-adjust between them in most cases. The Amazon case offers one easel position only. But it is adequate so for now I'll go with it. I can keep the Fintie as an option for the jolly fat guy since he never knows what to get.
