The skilled Byzantine and Islamic weavers of the early Middle Ages created the Damask pattern (named after the city of Damascus). Damascus steel is also named after the same city. Legend has it that swords made from this steel had such strength and sharpness that they could cut through other swords. I'm trying to figure out why Chef Tony hasn't yet created the Damascus steel Miracle Blade®. The Damask is made from finely printed cotton. Key Features: - Solid protection from dents and scratches, which allows you to travel about without worrying for your Kindle's safety. - A Velcro closure that is thinner and quieter than traditional Velcro. Velcro allows you to quickly load and unload your Kindle. - It will fit your Kindle perfectly. This is probably more important than you think. A snug fit will make the sleeve + Kindle much more comfortable to carry, and also looks much better. - A functional pocket that keeps your adapter in place. Worried that it will fall out? It won't.
