And save yourself some money for other things. This is a very likely scenario you can avoid and still have nice looking, very protected and useful scriptures. Imagine a spilled drink or food in your backpack with your nice leather covered scriptures.
However if you have a vinyl-like cover that is always around the cover when the book is open it will protect the cover from becoming soiled when it is set on a dirty table, accidentally dropped, or when you get rained on the cover becomes a water-resistant cover. Why ? Because If you go to a warm humid area like I did (the Philipines Cebu mission) your nice leather book covers will likely become moldy and possibly stinky - holding on to the smell for decades later. Instead buy a leather zipper cover or better yet a simulated leather cover and put them over your scriptures for full-time protection - even when you are reading them. If you are going on a foreign or southern states mission consider NOT purchasing leather covered scriptures. If you don't know the reason why these type scripture book covers are so desirable over a tote-type cover let me explain. Triple combinations, Bible, Quad and foreign languages (Spanish triple fatter than English?) For compact, Standard and large scriptures. here they are - in all colors, quality fabrics, Leather, simulated leather, vinyl, etc. Im not sure why it was not so easily searchable from my previous searches but if you are looking for these - as several other people posted they were. Here is a website that I finally discovered. Unfortunately Missionaries are not currently being allowed to use digital scriptures. Well not counting the iphone and iPad versions that everyone uses now for convenience at church. It seem that only "tote bags" are popular for scriptures these days.
even searched online and I could not find the type of covers I had on my scriptures when I went on my mission 30 years ago. I looked at all the LDS bookstores close to my home - Seagull and Deseret book stores.
Okay this was something that I thought had become outdated. Zipper scripture covers that snugly fit around the books so you don't have to remove them when you want to read your scriptures. I found the covers that I thought were no-longer made for my son who wanted them for his mission scriptures.
