Oasis 3 cases sleep awake

WestCactus · 12-09-2019, 04:23 PM

I remember seeing posts saying the magnets were moved and older cases don’t sleep wake the 3. Any updates on if special wake works?
Thanks.

I just bought a Oasis case on Amazon that only works with the 2017 version for sleep/wake. A Fintie CaseBot claimed genuine leather case. Fortunately I have both Oasis 7" versions. On the other hand I also bought a ACdream folio case that works with both Oasis versions and clearly states such in it's Amazon listing. Read the descriptions carefully. The original magnetic held on case for the 2017 Oasis 7" does not work with the new 2019 Oasis as Amazon eliminated the magnets in the new Oasis.

Yes indeed carefully read the descriptions and hope they are correct. I just got this case, CaseBot Stand Case for All-New Kindle Oasis (10th Generation, 2019 Release and 9th Generation, 2017 Release) - Premium PU Leather Sleeve Cover with Card Slot and Hand Strap, Vintage Brown, and thankfully it does work with my Oasis 3. Some of the cases I looked at were not described well enough to know if they would work, so I ruled them out as a possible purchase.
