Customers frequently mention the magnets as a weak point in the Folio Case for Kindle Oasis (2nd Generation, 2017 Release). Several reviews cite that the magnets are not strong enough to securely hold the Oasis in place. This results in the device separating from the cover too easily. The overall impression is that the magnetic closure is insufficient.

I'm pretty happy with this cover. Not using as a stand, only as a cover. The sleep/wake function works beautifully and love the feel/texture of material also. Doubt that this will be much protection if dropped. Like that it can also be folded back easily for one handed reading. For what it does, the way I use it, I'm happy with it.

Materials look and feel good. Has a quality feel. Other reviews have indicated the magnets seem week resulting in the Oasis separating from the cover too easily. For me, the magnets seem to hold just right. Strong enough to hold the Oasis, but not so strong that it can't be easily pulled away from the cover when you don't want the cover on it. Doesn't cover the entire Oasis, but the Oasis doesn't sit on hard surface when laying on a flat surface as others have mentioned. I am more than satisfied with this cover.

I was not sure how this would attach to the Kindle Oasis. All it is is a magnetic connection from the cover to the thin part of the back side of the Oasis. The thicker part is exposed in the back, as well as the 3 out of 5 edges. All in all it is okay, and cosmetically very nice with a material feel.

Bought this for my wife she has used it two years and it looks brand new. Used daily and taken to Beach, Lake and other vacations so it is very durable and of good quality.

I like the folio case. Have not figured out how to really use it as a stand, but it does provide adequate protection for my needs.

I know this case has gotten a lot of negative feedback, mainly because the magnets aren't very strong. Which they're not. However, I was looking for a case where my Kindle Oasis could be easily removed as well as withstand some splashes. And it definitely serves the purpose!

Nice feel to the cover, but the magnet isn't strong enough. It keeps falling off the Oasis as you are reading. Not too good, especially if you are carrying the Oasis. No wonder Amazon discontinued this cover. You can't find it for sale on Amazon except via third-party sellers. I mistakenly bought one when BB had them on sale for $29 and returned it a week later.
