Review: Luxurious to Hold, But Lacks Wake/Sleep Feature
Rating: 4 out of 5

The smooth, velvety-soft-finish leather of this VERSO ARTIST SERIES CITIES cover is marvelously warm and luxurious to hold.  The cover is light in weight, and its heavy-duty elastic bands hold the Kindle Paperwhite firmly in place.  Reading is very easy with this cover on.  The cover's incised calligraphic design adds texture, and is pleasant, even though some world city names seem chosen to fit the design rather than as travel destinations (e.g., Napa).  The red color is lovely.Two things keep this from being the perfect Paperwhite case for me.  There is no elastic strap or magnet to hold the cover closed, and there is no automatic wake/sleep feature (see theAmazon Kindle Paperwhite Leather Cover, Persimmon (does not fit Kindle or Kindle Touch)).  Because I tried the Amazon cover first, and love the wake/sleep feature, I rate this Verso  Paperwhite cover at 4 stars ("I like it" on the official Amazon scale).
