Got my DecalGirl skin for the new Oasis today! Will see if if helps with the slipperiness.

I am also interested in getting DecalGirl, but I am afraid the magnet of my cover won't stick well afterwards. Please do tell us your experience. If you can also upload some pictures, it would be even better.

You know, with all these issues on magnets over the years from all different brands of ebook readers, I'm surprised no one has walked into the kitchen, looked around, got a drink of water [glug, glug], scratched an armpit or two, yawned a few times, prepared coffee, turned it on and watched helplessly when you figured out that you forgot to put in the water, quickly unplugged it (I guess it never occurred to you to simply turn it off), scratched yourself in a place I can't mention, opened the cabinet, and (BINGO!), got out the peanut butter to solve your persistent magnet problem.

Will try to get photos later but I need to figure out how to make them small enough to post here. I can tell you the magnet still holds perfectly on my black leather Amazon cover.

I didn't try it but it is not good anyway so I will use a third party cover in the future. |

As reported in another thread, both the leather and fabric official KO2 covers are now showing as "unavailable" on Amazon UK! |

I am still wondering how Amazon could release such a faulty and overpriced cover product. |

What I don't get is how they could let themselves run out, when you consider the markup on them. I tend to find OEM covers/cases absurdly overpriced relative both to the cost of the device and to their inherent value and I'm not referring just to Amazon.

Either, the Oasis cover is so popular it's sold out and they won't have more for two months or it's been pulled off the market--mine while it was allegedly enroute--to be redesigned and replaced. I suppose we'll see.
And, liking isn't the issue. Does it perform the function intended is, for me, the issue. Some people are delighted with their Rolex because it was expensive and is pretty. It does not perform any better than my digital $30 watch. Since I don't see well and the digital I bought has a huge display the digital performs its function better for me. So, we'll wait to see what happens in the distant future when Amazon Kindle Oasis 2017 cases are available again. |
