Looks good. What about adding more pages (assuming that's what those are) to the larger versions? The large gaps make it feel more like a band with score lines going around the book. Of course, if those aren't pages, then never mind :).
Hmm... interesting idea. Yes, they are pages, but they sort of get lost when they're on the actual device. For example, the largest of the 3 icons above is the iPad retina icon. So the icon appears much smaller than that, and the pages get lost when the icon is physically smaller.
Make sense? I actually had more pages on that particular icon before, and it comes out a little clearer on the device to have fewer pages.
Yeah, you have to take that into account for sure, and I suspected that was the case. I recently was reminded that it's critical to show these things off on the actual device (bad decisions were made because we didn't do this). Screenshots or printouts do not do the icon proper justice. But for the big boys (1024 and 512) I'd add more pages. Looks good.

So you mean I should inset the pages a little bit from the cover like this. Right?
