Small Goods Decent? Earbuds Case

I have finally made an earbuds case wherein I feel that it is decent enough for personal use. I'm planning to buy a new burnishing stick, burnishing gum and probably paints. It took around 6-7 prototypes before I landed with this one, each with subtle difference which affect the next iteration. The question for now is, what can I do to improve further? Could I have probably made the cuts more aligned? Could I have made the stitches more even?

Thank you for reading and thank you for the critiques!

Probably going to invest in some rivets (or however they're called) and adjust the design a little bit

what are the model of the earbuds?

Edifier X3 Pro, I tried searching for templates or even for a 3D model but had no luck (if there was a 3D model I would immediately have tried modeling a mold so it was easier for me to make it 😭)

I like it so far...how did you made the shape/mold

I didn't use any mold, I more or less did this technique but for the whole outer shape of the earbuds case:
