Me and a future leathermint have been slowly working towards something similar.
I don't want to promise you anything, but we've been talking, and he may have bought a leatherwork kit to learn to make exactly that.
Yikes. The wallet I’ve been using for over a decade has been discontinued! https://www.twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook-vol-2-for-iphone?_pos=1&_sid=084b5d82e&_ss=r
These were total crap though…never lasted more than a year.

For me, key features are 1) phone can “stick” magnetically to the wallet (mine uses a thin mostly plastic shell that goes around the phone), 2) there is a standard wallet pouch thing for unfolded bills, and the lowermost card slot has a transparent plastic window
I like the Bible binding. I’m making this for me first but definitely cool to see some demand there.
Mine will be with some metal on the inside, so it doesn’t fry your balls. The problem is, that this will likely mean you will get low / no reception when the case is closed, which is actually ideal for how I use my phone. You will be able to u clip to open the camera, and voice / speaker / audio jack & charging section.
The idea to have some magnetism, for whatever wallet part on the back is cool, but my concern would be that the magnetism may have some effect on the phone itself. Need to investigate further.
Have some gig work atm, wrapping it up this week and then traveling for a month, so I will be doing this, it will be in my own time which may vary brother.
Will you be in Vegas per chance? I’m going, probably not to the conference, it to lobby con & throwing a party.
I’m working in the hospital during conference, but I’ll be at some bitcoin retreat thing the weekend after the conference.
I leave on the Friday - just missed ya. Ping if you’re around for a beer, the party is on Tuesday through the day, but I have little else planned. The best plan for these, is none!
Got some tickets to that bugle thing, Weds night
