Check Book Cover

ScrapHappy — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 15:31:14 GMT

Both my husband and I need new check book covers, ours split in half. They were just the bank issued kind. Our bank doesn't replace them. I haven't been able to find any in a store. I did find some on Walmart.com but I haven't had much luck ordering from Walmart on line and pretty much stopped. And, of course, Amazon. But I'd much rather just pick one up at a store. Where do you get your check book covers from?

I have a leather one that came with a leather wallet . You may want to buy a leather one that lasts for many yrs . Etsy has some nice ones for $16.99

I recieved mine as a Christmas gift from a boss over 25 years ago. It is a Coach checkbook and looks just like the day I recieved it. It is something I never would have bought for myself, but I absolutely love it.

@Travone

Mine is also leather, monogrammed, embellished, and a gift I've had for well over 25 years.

@ScrapHappy I would guess you would do well on e-bay. People don't write many checks now, and most people I know don't carry checks with them. So maybe they have a good selection of covers.

Mine are leather, Vera Bradley or Bank freebies, but they are in the drawer and I'll bet I don't write a check a month now.

Mine is an Eelskin cover that I probably got from CVN years (and years) ago. It has held up quite well but is beginning to show a lot of wear and tear. I've looked at some online but haven't purchased any because I rarely write checks anymore. I never thought to look at Etsy so I may do that in the future.

As for a brick and mortar store, I don't know of any. I'm thinking you'll probably have to order it online.

@ScrapHappy The last one I bought was at Fred Meyer in the wallet department. It was probably 10 years ago or more... it was leather and they last forever!

Vera Bradley. I like the cute patterns. Usually from ebay, new with tags and cheaper prices.

Have you tried an office supply store?

Either a chain like OfficeMax or a local store?

Or maybe another type of store with a office supply section, maybe like a Hallmark shop or a bookstore.

That's got to be frustrating, covers used to be supplied with every check order.

Amazon has several choices.

Funny you bring this up....I have been looking for a checkbook cover. I have a leather one that is just beginning to wear after having it for probably 30 years. It has a small foldover snap which keeps it closed. Cannot seem to find one with that feature. I am looking at one at Leatherology, but it has no closure.

I don't write many checks either. I keep my checkbook at home. My husband writes most of the bills and does pay by check, his preference. He does not like to pay bills on line or have it automatically taken out.

Yes, tried the office supply store. We do receive new checks, when ordered, but never a cover replacement.

There is a wide selection of cover designs and types (fabric, leather, vinyl, etc) on this site. I have my personal checks printed from them(less exopensive than the bankprinting and way more custonmizing and design choices. It is a reliable source and ships quickly. ON the main page there is a pull-down menu with 6 pages just for checkbook covers! They seem to run about $20 each.

Perhaps it can be helpful to you.

Long ago when I used checks, I had a nice leather one. It was a pleasure to handle.

Can you check around? Something nice for everyday.

@ScrapHappy I had trouble finding a nice leather checkbook cover also.

I don't write very many checks anymore. I pay most of my bills online.

However, I do write a check occasionally.

I found a nice leather Coach checkbook cover on Ebay.
