Which is better flat or round

I love your design for the needle case. I got mine case and viewing videos on how to cover them. My question is which is the best way to cover my case. The flat way you did it or in round. I seen both ways. Would a smaller length needle be better for this. I have broken a few of the longer needles. And how do I send you a finish picture of my project. You all do a GREAT job on all your videos, it’s like being there with you. Thanks again for the videos and patterns. Keep Beading 👍🏼 ⭐️
