If you’ve bought a Kindle Oasis, we congratulate you on snagging the best e-book reader around. It has a bright, sharp screen that’s always legible, and the stylish metal body is comfortable to hold — but you’ll need to take care of it if you expect it to stay in tip-top condition. The Kindle Oasis is one of the few e-book readers with IPX8 water resistance, so you don’t need to worry about spills or even dips in the pool, but it won’t fare so well against the sidewalk. It could also pick up scratches if you sling it in a bag unprotected. The sensible move is to invest in one of the best Kindle Oasis cases.
Note: These cases are all for the Kindle Oasis (2019). Many will also fit the Kindle Oasis (2017), as it’s exactly the same size, but check before you buy. The original Kindle Oasis (2016) has completely different proportions.
The Kindle Oasis is the premium Kindle model available, so it makes sense to pair it with some seriously premium protection. Amazon’s official Premium Leather case is exactly that — designed and created from genuine leather, this case will age with your Kindle Oasis, developing its own unique patina as it does. It feels great in the hand, has a magnetic closure method to hold the front cover closed, and is thin and lightweight. However, it comes at a high price to justify that luxury, so it’s not one if you’re looking for a case on a budget.
Hand straps are among the best ways to prevent drop damage as, well, your Kindle is attached to your hand. So if you’re worried about damaging your Kindle through drops, or just want to ensure a solid grip on your reading device, then this is a great case to buy. It also has a kickstand for easy reading on the go, a front pocket for stashing away thin items like tickets, and magnets that hold the case shut when close. Best of all, it’s a real bargain price.
If something more colorful is your bag, this case from Huasiru is sure to please. With 17 designs to choose from — we love the Library design pictured — its durable synthetic leather outer and soft interior protect your Kindle, while the magnetic closure keeps it safe in your backpack or bag. This case features an automatic sleep/wake function, so you can quickly get back to reading.
For a taste of leather luxury, you can’t do better than Noreve’s Tradition case. This neatly stitched, folio-style case holds your Kindle Oasis snug and secure, and the cover stays closed thanks to magnets. There are cutouts for the charging port at the bottom and the power button at the top. The leather finish adds some durability, and if you opt for the textured finish, it also enhances grip. It’s comfortable to hold and easy to fold the cover back out of the way if you prefer. There’s a subtle Noreve logo on the front at the bottom right and you’ll find the name stamped into the inside cover, unless you go for the more expensive textured finish. Prices start at around $80 and go up to $145, but if money is no object, then we don’t think you’ll find a better option.
This is an interesting option that will suit you perfectly if you get tired of holding your Kindle Oasis while reading. The case opens vertically and you can prop your Kindle up at three different angles for easy hands-free reading. Or just fold the cover back and hold it in one hand. There’s also a microfiber lining on the inside and durable synthetic leather on the outside. You can get a plain black version or choose from a variety of patterned finishes. It’s a little bulky, but this is a practical case that won’t break the bank.
The Moko case is slimming and comes across as a subtle exterior for your Kindle. This case is well worth its price for its polycarbonate exterior shell, gentle microfiber inner lining, and faux leather appearance. We personally think the aesthetics of this product are elegant. You can find a more subdued color to fit your natural design preferences or bold artwork to make a statement with your case. Perfectly positioned cutouts give you access to everything you need. However, one thing to note is that the sleep and wake setting don’t work with the most recent Oasis model.
A fabric cover may seem like an unusual suggestion, but we love this as an option for your Kindle case. This Amazon cover has a cozy fabric exterior, available in several colors. It’s soft to the touch and comfortable to hold in one’s hands. With this case, you won’t be left to handle the slippery, cold, and hard metal cases that tend to be common choices for Kindle users. The material is also water-proof and has an improved grip. This slim, lightweight Amazon case poses no issues to the automatic sleep and wake setting. It’s slightly more expensive than competitors, but we believe it’s worth the price alone based on its functionality, appearance, and security.
Check out this easy sleeve option to slide on your Kindle Oasis after a long night of reading. The Walnew Sleeve features an exterior that resembles suede, and it’s available in light blue, khaki, pink, or gray. The top of the sleeve wraps around the Kindle and locks it in place with a magnetic device to keep it closed carefully. Its slim and minimal design makes it easy to fit this case in a purse or backpack as well.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
Apple's next cheaper iPhone could get a brand-new processor while keeping its most stubborn display compromise. Digital Chat Station tips the iPhone 18e for a 2027 release with a 2nm A20 chip and a 6.12-inch OLED screen still limited to 60Hz.
The rumored camera setup includes a single 48MP rear camera and a possible 24MP selfie camera. There's new hardware to consider, but buyers hoping Apple would extend that upgrade generosity to smoother scrolling could be disappointed.
