This was actually NOT purchased as an intended bible cover, but as a portable case for my husband’s 7 inch tablet and accessories. Now, with that said, I read a lot of reviews making me think it was going to be small and possibly crappy when it arrived. But, I measured the dimensions (a few times) and finally went with it. Boy did I make the right decision!It holds not only his tablet, but the bulky keyboard case that goes around the tablet with room left to spare. It has not one but TWO pockets on the outside which is great for his cords and chargers. And…best of all, it is REAL leather, making it nice and soft (and smelling good.) The zipper is smooth and opens and closes nicely. I LOVE it. I just wish it were after Christmas so I could see my husband’s reaction when he opens it!It would definitely be a good Bible cover (for even a small textbook, journal, or as a small carrying bag) especially with the nice craftmanship on the leather stitching, weight, and projected durability. Plus, with the extra pockets there is plenty of space for pens, prayer cards, bookmarks, highlighters, etc. Seriously, it’s so nice, I am thinking about ordering another for myself!For the price it’s a GREAT deal, even if it is not fashioned by the Pope himself. Or maybe mine WAS fashioned by the Pope, and that’s why mine is so nice.
