I would have liked the Merlot case myself but that Water resistance is more useful to me. I just wish the Fabric cases came in the same colours, i ordered the Black
I'll get a third party case as soon as I see one by Moko or Fintie. |

I ordered the merlot leather case as I love the colour. The stand-up feature was probably decisive for me in getting the leather cover, while it is still a book-style cover as well (unlike the original Voyage stand-up cover). Over time I expect I will be looking at third party covers as well; as I have done with previous Kindles. Waterproofing is not a key feature for me and I was less keen on the looks of the fabric cover anyway, though I am sure it is also a high quality product.

Ordered an 8GB wifi from Amazon Japan just now & it shows delivery on Oct. 31st. Looks like the 32GB versions are backordered until mid Nov. here.
I decided to get the 8GB because my 4GB PW2 is only half full. 32GB is a good deal here since it's only ¥3000 (~$27) more, however the Oasis 2 is ~$54 more expensive here than in the USA. I'm not too upset about that since Amazon sold the PW2 so cheaply here when it debuted (<$100) because they were still competing with Kobo at that time. My PW2 has served me well these last 4 years, but it's time for an upgrade. Last edited by imabuddha; 10-15-2017 at 08:48 AM. |

Were you actually saying that the *covers* were too expensive? (Surely not true of one with a battery in it.) |

I was saying the the design of the original Oasis is a disaster.

Jon - I'd appreciate it if you'd take the chit-chat elsewhere, and leave this thread to being a discussion of delivery dates. This thread is not about your (entirely irrelevant) opinion of the Oasis, but for people who have ordered one to tell us when it's due to arrive.
Thanks. |
