My previous Kindle cover was a black Marware:http://www.amazon.com/Marware-Atlas-Kindle-Cover-Paperwhite/dp/B005HSG3JC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid;=1353460637&sr;=8-3&keywords;=kindle+black+cover+marwareI wasn't thrilled with it but had nothing to compare it to.  Were they all like this?  It seemed so cheap to me.  A waste of money.  Now that I can compare it to this cover I have discovered things I like about the Marware over the Verso & vice versa.This is my second cover & for the most part I like it a lot.  Visually I love it compared to the other.  I have a library of beautiful books & it pleases me to no end to have my Kindle sitting on the coffee table looking just like an old book.  On closer inspection one will find that the gold is worn off in most places.  I don't think it is supposed to be this way.  Aside from that I love the attention to detail.  I enjoy toting around my Kindle & imagining it as an actual book.  Laugh all you want, but I am a Bibliophile so the Kindle was something I was very hesitant to get at first as the idea of electronic books wasn't too appealing.  Now, I love my Kindle but still purchase hard cover books that I feel are worth taking up space in my home.Anyway back to the case.  This lovely looking case does not have the convenient strap that the Marware does.  The strap on the Marware holds back the front of the cover making reading the Kindle much more convenient.  Also the Marware has lining over the elastic corner straps.  I also found it very difficult to get my Kindle into all of the corners of the Verso.  I was paranoid it would pop out of my hands & smash on the floor or my hands would slip & I would inadvertently slam into the screen.  Luckily none of these things happened & I managed to get it securely inserted.Despite the few features I wish this had that the Marware does, I will continue to use it.  The cover feels thicker & sturdier than the Marware & I just flat out like the look of it enough to continue using it!
