What's wrong with making a sphere, removing the useless surfaces, distorting the perimeter to fit the frame, adjusting the curvature, and eventually subdividing it a couple of times to make it smoother? I think it should work fine.

Um, the tutorials will give you some good ideas about that. And it's kind of like molding clay, only more polygonal and meticulous. lol
