@Terry: Thanks Terry - When I do the smaller icons I've upped the contrast on the border and rejigged things a bit to make it more visible. I know what you mean though. Re: yellow - yeah that was my next move. Thinking of going slightly metallic.
The border texture reminds me of a binding of an old cloth wrapped book. I've been practicing some in the icon area since it's something I've never done. Great job.
One thing I did notice is that the rounded corner gets a little jagged, like it comes to a halt then starts the curve. This is probably from resizing the rounded box.
@Chad: I used Cocoia's iPhone/iPad template so I assumed most icons ended up that way but now that you mention it, it does looks weird to me. I'll take a look, thanks :)
@Jocelyn: Thanks dude, yeah I'll have to sort that out through testing - one more thing to think about!
Looks great dude. The inner rounded corner is a tiny bit jagged but the radius on it is magnificent. I see a lot of people using a weirdly high radius for that inner bevel and it makes my OCD go crazy.

Messing around in Photoshop tonight creating an iPhone icon for the upcoming launch of my portfolio. My first icon ever - whatcha think?

At smaller sizes, that gorgeous border texture would just disappear, no?
The yellow bit seems flat, but I really like where this is going.

Gorgeous.
The legibility of the white type on yellow background on pre-Retina Displays might be problematic (that's jealousy speaking).

Edit: A terrible amount of typos.

@Morgan: Thanks - yeah I gotta fix that up. Most people don't realize that you can't put two curves beside each other and have the same radius :)
@Matt & @Monika: Thanks for the kind words guys!
