Can you give us some details on how you made it (the book, why is the inside black etc...)
And a couple more close-up pics would be appreciated

The pics will come as soon as I borrow my girlfriend's camera, my cellphone camera sucks.
In order to do it you need to get a book enough thick to hold inside the iLiad (trust me, it's the second one I do because of a too slim book I choose first time) as well as taller and wider than it. Don't fit it too much because it's better to have a bigger case than a smaller one very fragile, if margins are too slim they won't be hard enough to not be torn apart by normal use. Next you need to have the tools (dremel, cutter, ruler, etc.) to do the hole inside the book by cutting the pages, velvet adhesive lining (I mean "forro adhesivo de ante o aterciopelado), adhesive lining for the cover, some magnetic ribbon (like the ones from the cooler's door or the stickers for notes), white glue and contact glue. For most of the process you can follow
these guidelines but you'll miss some specific clues for sticking the lining, fixing a wrong cut or embedding the magnets. I can tell if anyone is really interested in doing the case but I'll save them (you know, sometimes it's hard to me to translate all I want to say from spanish :S) if no one is interested. Let us see your covers if you do any!!!
