It is not unusual to see decoration on bible cases such as pictures or bright colours.
Further personalisation can be made by adding the owners name or a bible quote.

The advantage of the case is that it is cheaper and more portable, whilst boxes offer more protection and lessen the chance of bibles, especially more expensive ones, being lost.
