hi this is Jim with Gods411 today we're going to talk Bible covers what
purpose do they serve do you need one do you not need one why do people have
them all that good stuff so if you're interested hang on and I'll be right
back hi welcome back we have had so many
people ask us if they need Bible covers you know what purpose do they serve or
why do they even make of hybrid covers and it's a really good question so today
we're going to do a short video that just shows you the Bible covers what
kind how they work what Bibles will fit what Bibles won't fit and just kind of
just some tips and tricks of what not to do and what to do that I've learned over
boy the 20 years of retailing that I've been in so hang on Oh we'll get started
all right first of all this is a just an example of a Bible cover and just
basically people do or use Bible covers for two reasons either to protect their
Bible like they have a hardback to protect it or really the main reason is
you take it to church it provides you with a handle Bibles now I mean if you
have a hard back Bible cover they're really heavy so it's it's easier to
carry around in like a purse or some type of a little handle I don't want to
say purse because if you're a guy that kind of sounds kind of unmanly right but
it's a nice way of carrying your Bible to church just with a handle and the
other nice thing is it seems like nowadays we have so much stuff I mean
you've got phones you got pencils you got notepads you got all this stuff so
instead of trying to put it into your purse or trying to carry it like in your
pockets or your hoodie or your pockets down here it's nice to stick everything
into one so you have everything when you go to church and you want to study
you've got all right they're ready to go so let's take a look at the two types of
Bible covers there are really two types Bible covers out there there is a canvas
type of a Bible cover which is more of a cloth feel to it and then there's like
these which are bonded leather leather simulated leather leather I've seen
vinyl ones like that Bible covers range all the way I've seen them cheap $9.99
all the way to this which would be like a 25 I've even seen a $34 Bible cover
even though I think a $49 Bible covered be honest so those are the types of
choices that you can choose from the other thing then would be deciding on
what size and I will tell you in just a moment of how to measure your Bible to
fit a Bible cover and then the other decision you want to make is how simple
do you want your Bible covered be some people just like their Bible cover just
to cover the Bible and that is it I mean most Bible covers even like the 999 one
will come with some kind of a pocket and that's about it as if up on the nicer
ones which I have here which I'll show you come with just a lot of pockets and
zippers and pen holders and a place to put your notes and all that good stuff
and if you're like an organized person this is just awesome
because it gives you a place to put everything and organize it and you just
love it so if you're trying to find a Bible cover you pretty much want to
figure out or know what type you want you want to just a simple one or do you
want one with more bells and whistles and this one we'll take a look at in
just a moment but I want to show you what Bibles will fit into your Bible
cover and how to measure and it's really so so so important there's one thing
that I'm gonna give you that we see it's so hard to buy your Bible cover online
and most people that we have buy a Bible cover from us or Kim is they buy the
wrong size and they make one big mistake and it's so easy you see if you go to
like a Christian bookstore or a bookstore and you take your actual Bible
that you have and you match it up in the cupboard that's really simple but the
nice thing about the Internet is it gives you so many options to choose from
but you got to know how to measure your Bible so we'll go over that in a moment
but first let's take a look at what Bibles will fit into your Bible cover
and which ones are the best ones all right to be honest
okay now I've seen people do this and you can do this totally can do it but
let's just start over here a paperback does not do well in a Bible cover
because you need a hard piece of the cover to go slip into your Bible cover
and we're going to show you how to put one on we're going in I mean it's not
that hard but we'll just do an example of how to slip it into your Bible cover
so these paper bags I would not recommend I would not do a paper bag
because this ends up slipping out and ends up folding over your Bible will
actually slip out of your cover because it just doesn't hold it so paperbacks no
I wouldn't do it leather Bibles bonded leather some other
type of material that other than a paperback okay the problem being is that
these are so bendable and pliable that again you know this piece has to slip
into your Bible cover and sometimes if you have a heavy Bible there'd be a lot
of pressure on this and I've seen them not be so great you can do it and I've
seen a lot of people put this type leather or bonded leather in there but
it's not the best but again if you're looking to just take your Bible to
church and you want a lot of bells and whistles and pockets I would go for it
yours totally can the best type of Bible to put in your Bible cover is the
hardback Bible cover because this the bond I mean that the hardcover is slits
them thus I have a dust cover on just so we're just going to take the dust cover
off okay and put that over there the hardback just is so much better because
it gives your Bible cover just like something rigid something to just
ability but if a person only has one Bible and you have like a leather Bible
yeah absolutely I would go for it and I would do it but just know the best type
of Bible to put in there is a hardback Bible so how do you find a
Bible cover on the Internet it is so hard because you don't you know you're
not matching it up so you have a Bible and then you're going online and you're
looking up what Bible cover is best for you so here is my advice if you're
looking for Bible covers there's either going to be like I've seen mediums not
that don't sell that well large definitely is probably the best selling
and then I've seen extra large and then on the date Bible I think I've seen
extra extra at large I personally would not go off of the what they say in size
I would look for a Bible cover that gives the dimensions I would not say you
know I have a Bible cover and I just need a large or an extra-large I would
not go after that so if you're looking online be sure that they give you the
measurements of the Bible and they give you three measurements they'll give you
need a met okay so three measurements of how you need to measure your Bible okay
so you need to go the width of your Bible the length of your Bible and then
very very very very important the thickness of your Bible and the reason
this is so important is that if you get a Bible cover so it's going to say like
you know for example let's let's back up for example it's gonna say this cover is
an eight you know an eight by ten by two inches if you don't get your Bible cover
to fit this thickness it won't close the zipper will not close and if you force
it in there if you try to jam your Bible cover your Bible into the Bible cover
the zipper sometimes will rip the stitching will rip and you've ended up
just wasting your money on a Bible cover so very important okay one of my biggest
things I can recommend in this video get your measurements of your Bible and
especially your thickness of the Bible one other huge
recommendation okay huge is don't get a cover that's exactly
the exact size okay so if it's an eight by ten by two and a half okay you don't
want a Bible cover that's exact size you want to get a Bible cover that would be
an eight and a half by ten and a half or eleven by like two and a quarter or two
and a half inches because that's going to leave you a little bit of room for
your Bible to expand I mean you're always putting phones and notes and pens
and bulletins and all that good stuff in the Bible so if you get your Bible cover
so tight the biggest thing that happens again is the zipper will rip the actual
stitching will rip on the zipper and then it's like everyone had a suitcase
where you're jamming your stuff in your suitcase and you're barely zipping the
suitcase it's like that it's not good so you want your Bible cover not to fit
tight but to be a little bit comfortable so you have enough room in there and
that again is one of the biggest things that I can recommend for you if you're
looking for a Bible cover okay so let's take a look this Bible cover really
quick and then what I'll do and like I said it's not that hard but I'll just
show you how to put the Bible cover in and how it looks okay all right this is
a bound a bonded leather Bible cover and as I said before it either is for
protecting your Bible or just the ease of carrying it with like all the pockets
and the bells and whistles and things like that and what I'll do is in just a
minute I'll show you a close-up of all of this so you can really see it closed
but I'll just kind of go over and explain to you the base of a basics of a
Bible cover it may seem really simple but there's a lot of people out there
that they don't know you know why they don't know what it what it offers and
I'll tell you pretty much what a Bible cover does offer so again you can buy a
canvas or upgraded like a leather vinyl or a
bonded leather or a faux leather so basically when you get your Bible cover
it's always going to have a handle if it doesn't have the handle I wouldn't get
it because this is what makes it so nice when you're carrying your Bible you know
to church always comes with a zipper that you open you know always comes like
that a lot of them will come with a foam insert so it doesn't collapse you just
throw this foam insert away you don't need that
select the outside of the Bible okay most Bible covers even the most simplest
will come with just like one zipper on the outside just to put notes or a pen
or stuff like that you know just good stuff all your good stuff right upgrade
to Bible covers like this will come with more of like a zipper on the outside so
say you have this you know you can take your phone and I can put my phone in
there it fits totally perfect at church this one
actually has another zipper that you could fit your pens or pencils or if
you're a girl or a female you can put lipstick or makeup or you name it so
when you're looking for a Bible cover look for all of the excuse me the
outside pockets I mean how many do you want
the other side of this Bible cover really doesn't have anything and a lot
of you will do that they'll just have one pretty much outside or they'll have
like two pocket slips that you could slip on the inside so like I said I like
this because you can put your phone in love it love it love it
the other thing that this one has now all of them will have just like an you
know you have a Bible cover and open it up and this is where you place your
Bible and you're slipping in here and I'll show you how to do that a lot of
them some of them the deluxe level covers will actually come with enough
like this that you can open up and it has a place for it gives you notes
please put your notes right here it gives you a pen holder most all Bible
covers will give you a pen holder so that's this little brown little loop
thing that you may not know what it is and then the other the flipside of this
they're gonna give you pockets will face this thing pockets for like pens
highlighters erasers all writing utensils just all sorts of good stuff
pockets that you could put in there so if you want to take notes this is the
great way to take notes this is the deluxe Bible cover and it happens to
give you actually it gives you like a starter notepad give just some
highlighters and a pen to write it again it just depends what you want the basic
Bible covers are just gonna give you a plain cover the deluxe Bible covers are
gonna give you more pockets more zippers more all of the good stuff and even the
deluxe one is going to give you more of like an actual starter set this is a
really really great one I really like this one so that's pretty much it it's
pretty simple as far as Bible covers a lot of them come and I don't see it on
here but a lot of them inside and you need to look for this this is another
thing that you want to look for is a ribbon a lot of them will have sewing in
like a ribbon right here this one does not and I kind of like it because so say
you're reading like Philippians in your church and you want to just flip right
to Philippians so you'd put the little ribbon right in Philippians close up
your Bible cover so that when you open up your Bible cover again or your Bible
you can flip right to where the pastor was talking or you know when you're new
in your Bible study so that's another thing that you want to look for so
pretty simple I just gave you some things that you want to look for when
you're buying your Bible cover now let's go ahead and take a look again it's not
that hard but you know I'll put the Bible cover in the Bible just
kind of a close-up to show you I'll show you the pot gets what it looks like it's
just a close-up so we'll go ahead and do that right now okay all right here is a
close-up of a Bible cover and I'll just show you how to put it in I'll just kind
of I will show you a close-up of this cover which we have here and just some
things to look for it's really pretty simple but we'll just go over it real
quickly so basic let's move it like I said a hard cover is going to work the
best for your Bible cover let's move that aside for right now my table
squeaking so a basic Bible cover it's like this and again it depends you can
get bells and whistles this does come with the outside zipper here and another
zipper in here that you could zip out so you could put your phone all Bible
covers should come with a handle that you'd want and this Bible cover over
here does not come with anything on the other side of it so again you can get a
really basic Bible cover with no zippers no bells no whistles just a plain Bible
cover or you get something that's a little bit more fancy like this one
so all Bible covers when you get them will put like this because it's pretty
much like that the hand was usually to the left you're gonna unzipper it the
main part and most Bible covers come with a foam padding that just helps it
stay firm and up so we just take this we're gonna take that and put that away
and as you can see almost all of them well most of them with a hard spine
right here that's going to be to support your Bible so you can carry it because
Bibles pretty much are pretty heavy nowadays so putting in a Bible is really
simple you just want to start on one side and you're gonna want to put your
you see they always become let's back up they come with two sleeves there's
Leslie right here and a sleeve right there and
some people have been written said are these pockets no they're not pockets I
mean I guess you could use them to put stuff in but they are not designed to be
an inside pocket so let's clear that up when you see these two these two these
are what your Bible cover slips into and as you can see what we were talking
about is if you have a leather Bible that these aren't very solid so when
you're putting your Bible in it doesn't make you can do it but it doesn't hold
it very well because it's pretty flexible and pliable but absolutely if
that's your Bible you can absolutely use it we're gonna use a hardcover Bible
because that fits the best so you line your Bible up like that you would just
go ahead and slip the one side in just kind of work it in slip all the way in
oops I knock the camera and and go ahead and close it see how it's fitting
already then get the other side and split the other side in and you might
have to kind of work it a little bit to kind of get it in there and then you
pretty much just fold it up and that's it pretty simple
I'm you go ahead and zipper it let's zip it rich
and there you go pretty easy like I said this is a really
good fit and like I was saying before you most important you want to know
you're with your link and most importantly you want the thickness of
the Bible and as you can see the zipper zipped really easily it's dipped really
well not a problem and this fits really nice and you could just take your Bible
cover and carry it like that it's pretty heavy
I mean Bibles are pretty heavy but that is how you put your Bible into the Bible
cover so I hope that answered all your questions on Bible covers next video
