Nigel A's Card holder

Please critique this card holder I made. My first one using non-scrap leather. 

[Loft Leather]

Looks good.  Did you put edge paint on it?

Looks really clean!  Love the stitching.  It appears that the laminated edges could use a bit more sanding so they look like a single piece of leather instead of 3.  It takes a bit more time, but the results are fantastic after burnishing the edges.  I would also help to really press down on the pieces after gluing to ensure there are no gaps between the leather.

I'm going to be the outlier on the edges. While admitting they might be more attractive if polished and concealed, I think they look fine as they are.

To me, edges that are totally concealed and finished to hide the seams just look like cheap vinyl that could be spit out of any factory, 10,000 before lunch time.

To each, their own.
