I like the design very much - it's really lovely.

I think it looks fine - makes it look more like a book, IMO, but it would be nice to have the option of different legends there. As other people have said, the gold will probably wear off and make it look a bit tatty - plain embossing would be better.

Agree. I have these on my present cover - I don't use them at all, and find them a nuisance when I'm holding the device in my left hand. Save yourself the material, or if you really think there's mileage in it, make it optional.

Whereas I much prefer the encaing method to elastic straps; I feel it's far more secure, and it's likely to last longer too, as all elastic perishes eventually.

I'm curious to know about this too. My present one has the ereader inserted at the top, and then a flap folds over and tucks in behind the ereader to hold it in the cover, which is very secure - is this similar?

This really is needed - most covers use a strap with a magnetic press-stud. I wouldn't buy one that couldn't be held closed.

Etsy is OK, but it does tend to attract people who are looking for 'homemade' items. If you want to be seen as a professional company, you really need to spend some money to employ a website designer and get a proper stand-alone website with PayPal and Google Checkout set up on it.
I hope you develop this further and make cases for other e-readers. If you make one for the Sony, a useful addition would be a holder on the inside of the spine for the stylus.
