Protection From Hardware

[Jiri Taowski]

Hi,

I've designed a phone pouch and want to place an eyelet in the hole where the cord is (see the picture). However, I'm afraid that the male/female part of an eyelet might scratch the screen. Does any one have any idea of a way around?

I've considered glueing a small round piece of leather atop of the inside eyelet part, but that will add to the thickness of the pouch and I don't want that.

Thanks!

what about a making a leather washer instead of using metal eyelets

Look up "blind eyelets", which are eyelets set within the leather (often used on shoes). The eyelets are attached to a thin liner materials that could be a strip of cloth.
