Burgundy Red Microfiber Bible Cover with Study Kit, X-Large

I purchased the Microfiber Organizer Cover with Study Kit (Size Large Color Burgundy), as well as the Deluxe Organizer Bible Cover with Study Kit (faux leather) (Size Large Color Burgundy) on October 22, 2017, so this review is based on the information given on Amazon's website on that date and based on the covers I received a few days later. Sometimes Amazon starts selling the same product by a different manufacturer, or the manufacturer makes some changes, but the listing info isn't changed. For that reason, I clarify that the information here is as it was on October 22, 2017.NOTE: When I purchased them, the listings said "White Dove" and no mention of "Dickson". But when I clicked on "Buy it Again" from my orders list a week later, the Microfiber one comes up saying Dickson, instead of White Dove. Same dimensions and info, and the picture looks identical. The listing was White Dove when I bought it and the card on the cover I received says White Dove. The faux leather one now says "White Dove by Dickson" on Amazon. The card attached to the one I received says only White Dove. No mention of Dickson on either Bible cover I received, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't the same covers now as the ones I received.The microfiber case and the faux leather case have almost the same design, so, for comparison, I will review them as one, mentioning differences. The fabric from which they are made is different of course. The microfiber is a sturdy cloth that has a sheen to it, almost like nylon's sheen, but heavier and nicer. It has white stitching for detail, while the faux (fake) leather cover has burgundy stitching that is not noticeable. You can of course tell it is not real leather, but it's nice. On the faux leather cover, all the zippers and zipper pulls are burgundy to match the cover. On the microfiber cover, all the zippers and pulls are burgundy except the pull on the smallest outside compartment, which is shiny metal with a cross on it. Very attractive.Color - I ordered both in burgundy. They are dark burgundy, with the faux leather one being darker, looking almost dark brown. The colors on my computer screen are very true to life for both covers. The card attached to each cover states they were made in China.DO TAKE NOTE, IN CASE YOU'RE BUYING FOR A MALE: The card attached to the microfiber one says "LADIES DELUXE ORGANIZER". Why it specifies for ladies I'm not sure, unless the manufacturer thinks the white stitching looks more for ladies, and perhaps the fabric with a sheen. The faux leather one definitely does look more masculine, but a woman would be comfortable carrying it as well. If you remove that card, there's no information anywhere. Each case came in a clear plastic bag only - inside a shipping box of course. I mention this in case you are giving it as a gift.SIZE - At the time I purchased, the Amazon listing for the microfiber cover said, way down below under Product description: inner dimensions 9 3/4 x 6 3/4 x 1 3/4.The faux leather deluxe organizer said, right up in the description near the top, for size Large: Bible cover measures approximately 10.5 x 7.5 x 2.Based on those measurements, I expected them to both comfortably fit two identical Bibles, measuring 9 5/8 x 6 3/4 x 1 5/8. When I received the covers, however, the cards attached to them said: Large fits books up to 9 1/2 x 6 1/2. No depth was given, but these measurements are definitely smaller than what the Amazon listing told me.And, unfortunately, both covers were too small and the zipper would have chewed the corners of the Bible cover if we had tried to force it. If I had to guess, I would say the 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches is probably accurately what this size Large covers will accommodate, though I didn't have a Bible that size to try it. I definitely do not think they would accommodate a Bible 2 inches thick. If the width of the Bible were less than 6 1/2, then perhaps. 1 3/4 inches thick? Maybe, but I can't say for sure. The microfiber cover seems to have a little more "give" than the faux leather one.On both, when you unzip the Bible compartment, it has the usual panel on each side to slide your Bible cover into. The microfiber one had a built in ribbon bookmark. The faux leather one did not. Neither one had a pen holder in the Bible compartment.When you unzip the notepad compartment, it has a steno notepad (VERY few sheets of paper) on one side that measures 8 1/4" (from the top of the spirals) by 5 1/2". The cards say the steno pads measure 9 x 6. When it's time to replace the pad, you can use a Jr. Legal Pad if you prefer. There is a slit at either end of the notepad compartment, so you can turn the pad upside down and turn the cover the other way, putting the Bible in the other way, and thereby have the notepad on the left side of the Bible instead of on the right side of the Bible, for left-handed people. It works fine either way. BUT: do realize, the notepad is separated from the Bible by a flap, since the Bible and notepad are in totally separate zipper compartments. So if you leave the Bible inserted in its compartment and the pad inserted in its compartment, you would have to flip back and forth, back and forth to read from the Bible and then write on the pad. Or, you could remove either the Bible or the pad from the cover while writing.Amazon sells other covers that are tri-fold (three fold), which means the notepad folds out to be beside the Bible, so you can take notes without having to remove either the pad or the Bible.There is one elastic pen holder beside the notepad. On the other flap of the notepad compartment, there are pockets that run across the short direction of the cover, so that they won't be upside down no matter which way you use the cover - left handed or right handed. They will always go side to side. These are narrow pockets, some narrower than others. They can be used to hold pens, markers, highlighters.Zipper close these two compartments, and we will look at the outside of the organizers. The back is plain - no pockets. There is a handle on the spine, made out of the same material as the rest of the cover. There is a zipper pocket on the front, with a smaller zipper pocket on top of the larger one.The larger pocket measures barely 7" x 5", with rounded corners It has a double zipper so you can unzip it all the way to the bottom on both sides and completely open the flap, which, if you do, would allow whatever is in it to fall out easily. My Samsung S7, which is in a sleek/low profile case, fits easily. There is room for something else beside my phone, such as a comb and lipstick. A 6 inch ruler would fit nicely in this compartment to use for underlining.The smaller pocket on top measures about the same size on the outside, but the straight zipper only opens 4 3/4 inches, plus part of the compartment is up above the zipper. It is smaller on the inside than the other compartment. I cannot get my phone in the small compartment. It would be good for keys, credit cards, cash, or other small items. And again, a 6 inch ruler would fit in this compartment - if you angled it in.Both covers come with 4 highlighters (green, blue, orange and pink) and a ball point pen, sealed in a little cellophane bag. The card says they are twist up dry highlighters, but I didn't open the bag.

I love being able to carry my Bible and all my study aids. I usually have pens falling all over the place and extra maps and notebooks for my sermon notes. However, having two main sections, both with their own zipper, make it a bit unwieldly. I basically need extra space on the pew to spread out. But at least my pens and stuff are contained and still accessible.

My dad gave this bible case to me for my 14th birthday but it appears to be made for softcover bibles, not hardcovers. When we tried to get it in it was impossibly tight, so my dad used his angle grinder with a flap disc to sand off the corners a bit. Before he did I reminded him about the verse in Revelations about not taking anything away from the book and he laughed (nervously). Now it fits well.

Ive purchased 3. Totally satisfied for my leather bonded life application bible.

I love all the pockets and the texture of this. It does run small, but I just got a bigger size without any problem.

My wife's study bible fits well and it gives her places to keep pens and a notebook.

Wanted a Bible cover that was durable with several pockets. Great purchase!

Absolutely love this Bible cover. Heavy duty fabric. Fits Bible, highlighters, and a book comfortably.
