Hey Marcelo,

wondering if its ready

saludos

not ready yet, I've done the template already, tested on paper and fits pretty well. So I had a first attempt using a thin (1mm thick) leather I had here but it doesn't feel very solid, it's more like a glove, so I'm gonna try a thicker (3mm) and harder leather later on.

I'm thinking about a different way to close the halfcase on the sides other than the common one. I think it's the trickier part of the design...
