Default Made a DIY leather case for my G-tablet

My wife and I teamed up and made a leather case for my G-Tablet. Turned out pretty good. Used an old second-hand leather jacket that was given to me years ago for free that I never wore, a book from work that somebody was throwing away and cut it up for the covers, and a little elastic we had laying around. We had enough leather from the old jacket to make two cases actually, and I am finishing the second one. I used a downsized 3 ring binder for the second one and it will be nice also. Here are some pics of the first one...

Thanks for the comments! It is holding up well with daily use. Her idea to put the seam across there. People see me carrying it now and have been asking me "Is that iPad?" Then I say what it is and open the case...which always seams to lead to people having no clue that there were other viable tablets out there. Then I show em the speed and interface and tell them the differences, and they are usually wondering why iPads cost so much more... BTW - I sold my new 4th gen iPod touch to buy the G-tablet and have not regreted it

Very impressive, I just wish I was a better tailor. How many hours did it take you for each?

Great Job. You should look to mass produce it. I would get one too.
