I'm hoping Amazon will eventually offer covers as an accessory you can buy separately. I got the black cover because I was too impatient to wait for the merlot

but if the merlot were available as an extra accessory, I'd probably buy it, then swap back and forth depending on my mood

Additional covers would come in handy to leave elsewhere - one in the bedroom and one in the living room or one at home and another at the office, etc.

Certainly if the cases can charge independently which last time I checked in on the main thread people were still debating.

Once they build up stock, I'm sure Amazon will have replacement covers. It would be very short-sighted of them not to.

I'm pretty certain that after-market covers will soon appear once these manufacturers get their hands on an Oasis, if they haven't already done so.

Even if the cover can't be charged independently, you'll still have the Oasis to dock it to for charging once you get to the office or other location.

EVERY time I had to send an E-Reader back to Amazon for what ever reason they want Every thing that came with it. These Boxes are Sealed! When I returned my PW3 cause of a Light problem I asked if they could check it out Before shipping. Nope they Don't open the boxes. So You have a problem need a replacement you Will be returning the cases cords & every thing that came with it.

It makes sense to send everything back on a defective item that is being replaced. If you lose a cover it would be easier and less expensive for Amazon to sell you a new cover.

Don't think so. My friends GD destroyed the Tablet Kids case she got for Christmas. She cant just buy another case for it. Amazon told her she has to send the Whole thing back. Crazy but true

This is understandable since they still have the case and since the case was destroyed: Amazon cannot guarantee the tablet wasn't hurt.
Yes: if I was Amazon I would assume the tablet was in the case at the time. No matter what the parent said.

Big difference between destroyed and lost.

Now since NO ONE (intentional caps here) has an Oasis yet, it is safe to say that we don't know what Amazon will do.
They may ask for everything back or they may just send a new cover.

Tablet Fine Case has Teeth bites & marks on it. She also picked it with her fingers.

We'll ask for a volunteer:

Would one of you Oasis owners please volunteer to lose your cover when you get it? Then let us know how Amazon responds.

I wonder how many people are going to be forgetting covers on trains and planes

When I'm out I'd rather just put it in a cover and read it that way. I'm hoping Amazon or some third party sellers will have a light-weight form-fitting case with no battery. I think the Oasis battery will usually be enough that I won't need the extra battery.

Can't say I ever lost a cover, or a device. If I did, that would be on me. I would not expect the company to really care about that.

If I am out and about and have the need to take a reader, its on my to put the cover in my pure when not using. Or just read it in the reader for those few minutes. If I spend a lot of money on something, I tend to take care of it and watch where it is.

I bet at some point the covers are sold separately. Its just not thought about at launch.

While it is nobody's business but mine whether I plan to read the thing naked, and though I voted "off", I can say that whether I read it cover-on or not will depend on where I am. It just seems wrong (and risky) to take it out of the house with the cover off, and if I'm laying it flat on a surface to read (as when eating), the lump on the back will cause it to not lie straight -- so in those situations, it'll be covered.

I suspect the cover will be going on and off a lot more than with my current PW1. I'll probably have to put it on a neck chain

like a pocketwatch, a pocket-Kindle!

I don't blame you. That's something you don't want to do in public
