I personally strongly dislike cases that encase the front of the device in leather (or even worse, with plastic leather-like material - Grrrrrr!). However, given the unfortunate construction of the current generation of reading devices there is little choice. I guess I am spoiled by Sony PRS-500 that had a clip on the back. Also the first prototypes of PocketBook 9xx series had four magnetic clips at the back for attaching to the cover.
Having said that, this particular case looks very nice. I even like it more than the Oberon cases with awkward strips holding the device in place. Very much will depend on the quality of leather and craftsmanship. Try to get some nice reviews and endorsements if you are going to sell those on-line. It is very difficult to show real quality for this kind of product in a few photos.
Please make sure that the "window" in the leather front is wide enough, so the screen isn't obscured. Also make sure that it is big enough so it doesn't cast shadow on the screen where the text is displayed, even if the device is lighted from the side.
What is inside the leather front? A piece of cardboard or something sturdier? You could also claim that the cover protects the screen if you use a piece of stiff plastic, or a piece of carbon-fiber laminate (for a deluxe model perhaps), or a thin dibond board.
