Black Leather Zipper Case for Missals, Liturgy of the Hours and Prayer Books

This item is almost perfect: fits my breviary well, no problem with ribbons, good strong zipper. I dont think its leather (which may make it more resistant to moisture) and I dont like the shiny surface, but in all other ways: just great. Service was fast and it was well packed.

Purchased this for general use in the four volume Liturgy of the Hours. Was too tight for the larger volumes.

The zipper placement was not thought out well, making it hard to zipper it up without getting the ribbons caught in the zipper. Most well-made breviary/bible covers have a flap, so that it pushes the ribbons into the cover, thereby allowing one to zip it up without catching the ribbons. I will say this; a reviewer said that it was not what was described, namely that it wasnt leather. It is actually described as imitation leather, which, of course, is not leather. Overall, it wouldnt be a bad cover, if it werent for the zipper situation.

I purchased this from one of the Catholic stores -- the 4 volume set. The same set is available on just about any Catholic store. The leather feels stiff, almost like plastic. The zipper ends at the bottom, so you have to tuck in the ribbons. Its best for storage/dust jacket/transport, but I would not expect to hold the book in it for reading purposes. The MDS breviary covers are better for day to day use.

I like it is new and stiff

Not leather. Vinyl. Besides that, works great.

It is not for Missals and the Liturgy of the Hours does not fit properly in it. It is not good.

nice, good looking

This is a gift and due to the length of time I purchased and gave the gift it is not returnable. This was used as a missal cover and had plenty of room for the missal, however the zipper broke after using it twice.

Zipper is backwards. This information is not included in the description. I threw it away. Why would anyone want the zipper backwards so that one cannot use the ribbons?
