Made a set of folder icons in both beige and blue. Though similar to the defaults, I've refined a few things that bothered me like the folder tab and the overall shape. I use a few stacks in my dock and the normal ones look like a thin row of blue. These are a little more toward square than rectangle, which I think fits better within icon bounds.
Forstall's more iOS-ish. Also, the white border on top of the blue folder looks a little off. Maybe add some kind of darker shadow underneath top of the front flap with the other shadow inside?
Very crisp, very clean. I feel like the combination of thick edge shading and the speckle texture makes the material look like concrete, but I suppose that is just part of the style.
Really nice job hinting the smaller sizes. That "A" is fantastic.
Those are pretty cool, I like the shape you gave them. The target has some sort of a perfect proportion.
The white inner-shadow bothers me too though, it looks really strong. And the borders of the blue folder seems a little too light. As a result, the top border of the folder's cover crossing on the blue background seems blurry with the shadow you applied on the folder tab.

Other than that, those shapes are great.

I'm not sure about the top curve of the arrow. I guess you tried a horizontal edge here and the curve won out?

That graphical glitch is weird! Not sure what that's about.
