Although many books have gold decoration on them, individual books are read only once or a few times. This cover will be handled hundreds or thousands of times. The gold decoration will just rub off.

That is, you need to design with long term use in mind.

In this regard, anything opposite the screen that isn't smooth may scratch it after hundreds or thousands of closures.

Have a care regarding the weight of the cover. Small covers are held in part with the small muscles that work the fingers. So reduce weight whenever possible. For instance, consider what is the minimum amount of material needed to hold the device securely. A small amount of strong material is better than a lot of weaker material.

Make sure all the edges are smooth and/or rounded. Any sharpness or roughness can be discomforting over long periods. Any part that touches the skin should be soft, smooth or rounded.

It isn't clear from your picture how the device is inserted and what's securing it afterwards. Remember that sometimes the device will be used upside down or carried in the hand in any number of orientations while a person is walking.

Did you allow clearance for the speakers?
