The Amazon Oasis battery cover is halfway there :P

Just wanted to put out an update:

I got the Fintie, but I am majorly upset at how FLIMSY the cover is. When I fold it back, it wobbles and squirms too much.

In fact, when I fold it back, the most natural setting is completely unaligned with the back itself, forcing me to hold it in place

This seems to be because the cover has spacing on the top and bottom of the spine, so its never firm!

And I dont know if all cases are like this, but its a major step down from my official Kobo Glo HD cover, which had a full spine and didn't wobble.

Is there ANY third party case that has a firm spine, but no other major issue? Because the Fintie is fine besides that, but that is a big problem

Only other complain is minor, which is that my thumb seems to slightly hurt from where I rest my finger to page press, so Im curious if there is a cover:

-That doesn't feel so lose/flimsy when folded back

-That has a nice rest for me to page press

Some people seem to forget that the purpose of a cover. At least one would be to protect the device.
