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

Not what is described. Very cheap. Not leather.

I used this for my new St. Joseph Daily Missal. Right now it is a perfect fit, but I know that it is leather and will soften up so that it will still be secure, but not quite as tight.

A bit large for my 1962 Roman Missal, but I keep a small prayer book inside with it. Together, it zips closely and I bring it with me everywhere-- I mean everywhere. The case itself feels resilient, but mine had a minor defect in the cross on the front. It also says liturgy of the hours on the spine, but, because I bought this to keep my beloved Missal safe, I personally cannot care less. Admittedly, I plan to purchase a bound printing of the second edition of the Liturgy of the Hours when it comes out, so if my breviaries fit this case I will likely replace this item as my Missal case.

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.

Sturdy and looks good! I’ve taken it all over and it’s kept my book nice and safe

Handsome look and good feel. Fits my book perfectly.

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?

Service was great and the cover arrived within a few days. Its a nice cover but sadly it doesnt fit my divine office.

This cover is nice, though the zipper sometimes sticks to the bottom of the breviary. Also, the cover has I on the spine of it, meaning this cover is not meant for all four volumes of the Liturgy of the Hours, but only the first volume. In my OCD moments it bothers me. However, its a nice little cross to take up during prayer time (thank you St. Therese).

Too stiff and bulky to comfortably read from, might soften out as it gets older (will update review if so). (did not soften out - basically the spine just doesnt like to sit flat, and in terms of the bulkiness it adds maybe a half-inch margin of leather), Works well for transport though, if youre not worried about size. Fits any volume of LotH easily (though it has a 1 on the spine), fits my St. Josephs missals but way too loosely.
