Review: Great Look and Feel

This Kindle cover has a beautiful etched leather look and feel. I recently replaced my Kindle Keyboard with a basic Kindle and it just hasn't felt right in my hand, largely, I think because it's not as long, so it doesn't feel right to hold it in one hand. The cover gives the Kindle a more book-like feel simply because it makes it thicker, more like a traditional book.The interior is firm, but has just a slight padding to it so that I feel comfortable shoving it into a purse or diaper bag without having to worry that it would bang against something. Sure, it could still get smashed if slammed around, but the cover provides adequate protection for normal situations.The one drawback to my new cover, and I don't know if it was this was unique to my cover or something that is common to all the Verso covers, but the cover does seem to have some, not exactly wrinkles, but slight rolls in it. They're not immediately visible, but had I picked this in a store, I would have gone through every cover on the shelves to make sure that the "leather" was more tightly stretched so that it didn't have this "flaw." This doesn't at all deter from the usefulness of the cover, nor its overall look, but it does need to be mentioned. For some, it might not be a consideration at all, but if you're paying nearly as much for the cover as for the device it's covering, sometimes it's the little things that make the difference between a 4- or 5-star review.
