Whipped this out yesterday for my laptop. Used horween leather, and the inside is unfinished. I think the top flap seems a bit wide, even though it is the same width as the front, back. What do you guys think?

I like it. And a little wide never hurt anything...keeps the rain and stuff out.

Thanks guys! One thing I need to consider in the future is that the handle causes the leather to flex. I reinforced it underneath with a thick vegtan strip connecting the handle rivets, but I think a metal strip would work better.

Hi Matt,

I ran into the same thing when I did a briefcase out of black water buffalo (too soft). I had to go with a piece of aluminum flat stock, a couple of screws, wrapped it in matching leather and it worked out just fine.

That Horween leather looks great and the stitching sure is neat and tidy!
