I originally had a Moko case for my brand new Kindle Oasis. I was pretty happy with it -- it looked nice (I had the faux leather one that looks like an old book), was light and protective. However, the magnets that keep the flap closed were very weak, with the result that it often slipped open both exposing the Kindle to risk of damage and always turning it "on," draining my battery needlessly. After doing some research I decided to give the CaseBot a try, and I'm thrilled with my purchase. It looks great (real leather) and, to start, the magnets are perfect -- strong enough to keep the cover from flapping open or moving but easy to open myself when I want to. The wake/sleep feature now works as it should, saving my battery. It's also very comfortable to hold -- some reviews noted that the front cover flap is "padded," and I think it is very slightly -- not so much that there is any added or uncomfortable bulk, but enough to add some protection to it. I actually find that it makes the Kindle very easy and comfortable to hold with the cover flap flipped back. The foam material on the inside is similarly soft and comfy. The build quality is fantastic. And, oddly enough, though I hadn't dropped my Oasis yet (and rarely have dropped any of my past Kindles), the very day I got this cover and put in on I dropped the Kindle onto the hard concrete of my garage -- the Kindle and cover both were perfect. So, I'd very highly recommend this cover -- it looks great, is very well made, is protective and very comfortable to hold. And, oh yeah, the magnets work perfectly!
A Very Satisfactory Cover for Amazon's Latest Kindle Large-Screen 7" Oasis
When I first purchased Amazon's latest Kindle Oasis E-reader, my natural decision was to also order Amazon's own Kindle Oasis Premium Leather Standing Cover. I've always purchased the premium Amazon covers in the past, and I had no reason to make a different decision with this latest Kindle purchase.Unfortunately, Amazon not being perfect, they didn't do such a good job with their cover for the latest Kindle. It received poor reviews from the beginning, with complaints regarding the cover material, and most significantly because the cover didn't stay securely attached to the Kindle. It relied upon magnets to stay in place, and they simply weren't strong enough. I didn't have quite the same degree of dissatisfaction with my Amazon cover as some users did, but I had to admit that it fell off occasionally, and this detracted from my comfort level in using the new larger Kindle.Before too long, Amazon withdrew it's own cover from sale, and today the only cover that is sold alongside the Kindle as an option is this one made by CaseBot. I decided to order one myself, and after using it I wish that it had been available when the new Kindle was first introduced.This cover fits securely to the new Oasis - the bottom of the case fits over the entire body of the Kindle, and there is no concern that it will fall off accidentally. It looks good, and it wakes the Oasis up when the cover is opened.There are a couple of things about this cover that cause me to give it 4-stars rather than 5-stars. It is bulky and it is considerably thicker than the Amazon cover, with some padding incorporated in the cover that does make it soft to hold and probably adds to the protection it provides. And since it fully encloses the Kindle, the 'hump' on the back of the Kindle is even more pronounced (the Amazon cover doesn't go over the 'hump' and as a result the profile of the back of the new Oasis is flat when Amazon's cover is used. This is probably not a show-stopper for most who will purchase the new 7" Oasis, since the larger size is already something you will need to adapt to in using it, but this cover does make a large device even more bulky.This case also does not fold to support the Oasis for reading - this is one feature of the Amazon cover that was nice, even though it did not fold and support the Oasis quite as well as the trusty Origami cover for my Kindle Voyage which is still my most used Kindle for reading while eating or sitting at a table.The Amazon product description states that this cover is made from leather, however the packaging that the cover comes in does not state material used. My opinion is that the Amazon description is misleading in this respect. It is probably one of those leather-like materials, sometimes referred to as PU-leather. Long term durability will need to be evaluated, and I will add to this review to report on how my cover wears after I've used it for a longer period of time.The newest Kindle Oasis is still Amazon's finest Kindle, for those who can afford the high price. The large display, faster processor, greater storage capacity and waterproof features are all a step beyond any of the other Kindle models. This new CaseBot case makes the Oasis more comfortable to use, and I'm glad that I purchased it.I've included some photos of this cover installed on my Oasis, as well as comparison photos with the Amazon cover. The color difference makes this CaseBot cover look much richer although the quality of the material is significantly lower than the leather used for the Amazon cover.
