Thank you for your reply, you are seconded by many others, if I get started on this self hosting journey, I'll start with simple stuff I don't care too much about, and test it out before leveling up on skills/security, and we'll see if I eventually end up self hosting emails, but I don't see it coming in a near future.

Been running GOS for a couple years now, it's flawless, I've installed it on my wife's phone as well, she has no issues with it either, so really no need to be a hardcore nerd to run it, just follow the instructions and reach out to the appropriate community/forum if need be.

Side note, I used to run Lineage, GOS is a breeze to install and run compared to Lineage (which was great, don't get me wrong, shout out to the devs!).

First of all, this looks like a fun and smart design, I like the idea of a fully zipped compartment for the wallet, that is easy to reach for.

Here are a couple questions though :

  • I don't understand what you mean by "attach them with a W shape" can you elaborate ?
  • will there be a system to keep the whole item closed (such as another elastic string, or maybe a snap button?)
  • how do you plan to stitch the elastic band for pen holder, so that it's strong enough to last through time, but also it doesn't mess with the closure of your notebook-wallet?
  • have you already planned the way you want to mix leather and fabric, and how you are going to stitch/sew it all together?
  • you have 2 sides to leather, flesh side ("inner" side of the hide) and grain side (the skin side). So if you want the grain to show on the back, for instance, you will have the flesh showing on the front (or vice versa). Flesh side is usually considered less noble, and may deteriorate through time and turn mushy/flaky. To avoid that you have several options : lining with a thin leather (goat works great, it can be thinned out and remain strong), but then yiunhave to stitch the lining all around and work on a nice and clean edge finish. Or a cheaper/easier way is to buy veg-tan leather and rub the flesh side with tokonole and burnish it to get it stabilized. But maybe you have another plan in mind?

Good luck with you project, looking forward to seeing how it goes!
