Pros & Cons
Pros
It performs exactly as advertised, looks better than originally pictured. Would both recommend and buy again. It fits the kindle perfectly, and it makes it so much more convenient to carry.
The magnet is very strong so unless you're slinging it around and just trying to make it come off, then it's not going to separate from the oasis. The magnets hold the cover closed as well, another added bonus, providing a nice little pull when the fr... Read More
The oasis snaps onto the kindle with ease, and makes it look even better. It stays attached, even when using the origami design to hold it upright. This is for the reader who leaves their kindle on a shelf in their room while not in use, instead of th... Read More
The texture is of a different caliber than most treated products. This creates a natural sheen that softens and smooths the texture.
Cons
When you fold it back, the front cover attaches magnetically into the back cover. If you try to stick a finger in between the cover and the kindle when the cover is open and wrapped around the back, it pops the cover off.
Every bit of finishing on the product is excellent, but that's all rendered meaningless due to its failings at the job it was designed for. Packaged nicely, but has got several scratches on it in a few hours.
It's a suede like surface meaning it soils easily and feels nothing like a book. It shows marks (scratches, etc. It also gets scuffed up really easily.

The folding line on the front is pretty stiff when i first got it though making the standing a bit unstable

This cover would provide no protection against dropping

It would protect against scratching for the most part although scratching would kinda destroy the covers own beauty

My solution is to simply use my new kindle carefully and try to prevent any damage to either the kindle or the cover

I was a bit skeptical of purchasing this cover based on the vast majority of negative reviews

Then i read one of the more positive reviews where the gentleman described that untreated leather which is what this cover is made of is supposed to age by the oils in your fingers and get ‘marred’ all you have to do is buff out any marks with your finger

I was also lucky to still find this cover available at all as it appears amazon has pulled the inventory due to all the negative reviews
