Leather Bible Covers & Cases

Leather Bible covers here are sized to the Bible itself: its width, its height and the thickness of its spine. The six covers and the Bible bag all come in seven sizes, from XS for a compact Bible up to 5 × 7 in to XXXL for one up to 9.2 × 12.2 in. If your Bible fits none of the seven, you choose Custom Size, give its width, height and spine, and the cover is cut to those numbers.

Strap, snap, slip-on or zipper

The Bible Case and the Bible Cover close with a long leather strap that you wind around the book. The Bible Cover also has a leather bookmark and a pen holder. Bible Cover Classic works like a sleeve: the Bible slides in from the top, and a flap folds over and ties shut. The Bible Rivets Cover snaps closed and keeps a pocket for notes and a pen loop inside the front. Bible Case Vintage is the plainest of them, a slip-on jacket with no strap at all.

If you open your Bible many times a day, winding a strap gets slow. The Zippered Bible Cover opens in one pull, carries by a handle on metal rings and has pockets inside. It comes in the same seven sizes as the strap covers, or in Custom Size. When you want to carry more than the Bible, choose the Bible Bag with Shoulder Strap. It is a bag rather than a cover, with a flap pocket on the front and a zipped pocket on the back.

If you came here for leather Bible covers with a zipper, that is the Zippered Bible Cover. Custom Bible covers are cut to the size of your book. For a hymnal, a journal or any other hardback, the same is done on custom leather book covers and sleeves. Bible cases for men are the same Bible Case women order; the leather does not know the difference.

Sizes, including large and extra large Bibles

Each size has three limits, and the closed Bible has to fit inside all three: width, height and spine. Choose the smallest size that takes it. A Bible 6.5 in wide, 9.5 in tall and 1.75 in thick is an L. The same Bible with a 2.75 in spine is an XL, because L stops at 2.5 in.

For an extra large Bible cover, start at XL, XXL and XXXL. Study, journaling and giant print Bibles often run thicker than a reading edition, and these three sizes take a spine of 2.75 to 3 in; XXXL holds a Bible up to 9.2 in wide and 12.2 in tall. An XL Bible that is bigger or thicker than that is a Custom Size order on the Bible Case or the Bible Cover: you type the width, height and spine, and the cover is cut to those numbers. The Zippered Bible Cover is cut in the same sizes, so a thick study Bible can have a zipper too.

A cross, a name or your own design

On the strap, snap and slip-on covers you choose a design first. There is a plain front, six layouts (most with a cross, all with room for a name) and your own artwork, uploaded as a file. Then you choose how it is pressed into the leather, blind, in silver or in gold, and write the name or initials in the notes box. The Zippered Bible Cover has its own list of nine designs and also takes laser engraving, which four of those designs need. Nothing here is embroidered.

Colors and leather

Black, Brown, Cognac, Light Cognac and Green are offered on every cover, and the Bible Bag also comes in Burgundy. Crazy Horse, the full-grain leather used here, is waxed: the spine goes lighter where it flexes, and a pale scratch usually disappears under a rubbing finger. A cover made to one spine suits that Bible; a thicker one later may not close in it, so measure the Bible you will keep using. If you are buying for a man, you can also start from leather Bible covers for men.

Questions

How do I measure my Bible for a cover?

Close it and measure three things: the height from top edge to bottom edge, the width from the spine to the front edge, and the thickness of the spine. Then choose the smallest size whose three limits your Bible fits within. For Custom Size, give the numbers as they are, without adding room; the cover is made around them.
