I considered the tri-fold cover but decided against since it used the same plastic retention system as the stock cover. I would not trust that $0.25 plastic part with my $300 reader. Even though the tri-fold provides much better protection than the stock cover the plastic retainer is the weak point in both.

I went with the M-Edge cover when Amazon had it on sale and it is great. The retention system with the straps at the corners takes very little getting used to and is very secure. I expect that the Oberon cover performs about the same.
