This is great! Do you have any issues with heat as it's charging? -I'd like to do a leather or leather-covered version (gettin' fancy!) but I would worry about heat build up...

The car adapters are more efficient. Heat wont be a concern. I'd be more concerned with the 9v battery dying, they have low capacity ):

No, I have no issues with heating, if used for a prolonged time the battery will get warm, not hot. I would love to see that completed project, send me the picture! Thanks for the response!
