How would you have attached the plate (plastic?) to the leather? The case wasn't at all rigid. I'd be afraid that they'd catch a corner and rip a plate off without much effort at all.
There are some very aggressive double-faced tapes, so, as long as the corners of the plates are radiused, there's very little chance of being snagged.
If the case was very flexible, Laserlites or FlexiBrass should be able to roll with the punch.

LaserLights on textured surfaces looks real bad, in my opinion. FlexiBrass probably would have worked. They're now supplying it with 3M adhesive. That probably would have been the best option. I've got an old textured, vinyl briefcase (portfolio book, actually) that I might try that on for display purposes.
It used to bother me when customers would say, "You're the expert. Do whatever you think is best." because not everyone has the same tastes. I'm learning that giving people too many choices is worse than "Doing whatever you think is best".
