Review: Verso Trends makes visually striking cases - the Damask is very pretty!

Most of the Verso Trends cases are visually appealing in either an obvious way, a cute way - as in the ones which look like notebook paper :), or even the quilted leather and soft leather covers which appeal to someone like me who likes the look of fine leather! The way they're made differs quite dramatically though! For example This one, while quite visually appealing is made of a fabric that is very thin, very scratchy, and offers no padding what so ever - which is unfortunate because my first Kindle was ruined by a case that didn't have enough padding.This Verso Trends Versailles Damask Case is a beautiful case for the Kindle fire 7" HD. But all of the other cases we have for our other Kindle Fires, Nooks, & our Kindle ereader cases are very well padded. It's really important they be well-padded too because if they're not, and something even comes to rest on your Kindle or Nook, or similar product it can be damaged! Trust me, we had it happen, and it wasn't anything very heavy! Fortunately, it was a Kindle, all I had to do was call, and Amazon replaced it immediately, but I learned my lesson! After that I purchased well padded cases - like rooCases - which are great cases in and of themselves! I bought one for our Nook, and I LOVE it! And it was one of the least expensive out there!The Verso Trend also has just one pocket inside, whereas most of our cases have far more amenities - pockets, better fitting holders - to hold the apparatus in, and magnetic closures - this one has an elastic closure which isn't as reliable as the other closures.Although this is a great looking case, and it would probably be fine for a short term case; I wouldn't recommend the Verso Trend Case which retails for $44+ because there are FAR better cases for the price!
