Greg Stevens has created a lovely leather cover for Field Notes (and other similarly-sized pocket notebooks) that includes a pen quiver on the cover and an elastic band to keep it closed. He’s added a pocket inside the front cover for even more functionality. The case looks like it will age beautifully though the elastic might get stretched out. Prices start at $100 and include a 3-pack of Kraft Field Notes.
Don’t forget that Field Notes offers their own EDC brown leather memo book cover and Pony Express leather pouch in their shop ($85.95 each). Gourmet Pens did a write up on the Davis Leatherworks notebook cover which is distinctly Midori-like. I did a search on Etsy and there are dozens of other options available for notebook covers as well. My favorite from Etsy is the Zenok Leather from Canada. Zenok’s Midori-style covers hold three notebooks and sell for $39 each.
More leather cover options can be seen on The New Artemis as well.

These look really nice. I don’t use anything that size, but it looks slick. (Also, I think you forgot a decimal in the price of the Field Notes case.)
Field Notes just came out with their own case kinda like this. It holds the pen some credit cards and cash for $85. I love your case as well just thought you should know if you didn’t 🙂
Always being a fan of leather, I’ve owned a few different wallets and case from different brands and the best I’ve found came from the guys over at http://www.brassanvilleather.com all their stuff is hand made an most of it can be customized.
