Upholstery studs? I gave them a try. OK result

[hotpot]

I think they would be nice with two strips of nice leather

Apologies Ferrett. Don't ban me.
Hotpot You're probably a lot better at DIY than me but a couple of lessons learned to pass on. Cover the stud with tape before bashing it in with a hammer. Measure out carefully where to place them. I did two rows of five without measuring and didn't get them quite lined up perfect. A proper upholsterer would do a good job.

Looks like a great idea.

What length and nail diameter did you use?

Thanks

Asi About 10mm head and 13mm length but you need to measure your case. Clearly need to avoid nail from sticking through to inside of case.
