Review: Lovely but Impractical

This is really a lovely looking product.  The fact that it looks so much like real hand tooled leather but really isn't, is feat of engineering.  Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not seem to take the needs of the different readers that were going to go into this case into consideration.  While the Kindle Paperwhite sits very snugly within the elastic straps, the reader itself sits a little more than a quarter of an inch inside the edge of the cover.  And while this doesn't seem like it should be  an issue, it really can be since that space clearly makes it difficult for me to hit the on off switch.The Verso took great pains with its unique looks but they forgot to take into consideration that the Paperwhie is an extremely thin device and once the Verso cover is closed over it, the cover sits very sloppily, haphazardly, and insecurely.  You will not be able to take your Paperwhite with you in a large purse or messenger bag since the cover is not locking and is so insecure that you are sure to damage you Paperwhite while using this cover.
