    All I got was this cheapo white nylon envelope with the dealer's name printed on it.

    Where can I get a nice black leather (or pleather) one to put all the Prius manuals?

    It should be complimentary from your dealer.

    Huh...I didn't get one either. :( Will have to check out the above link to find one. :)

    Edited to add:

    Just clicked on the link. Didn't find any there. Closest thing was a pouch that can be used for cell phones, trash, etc. :(

    Sorry, just did a quick look and it seemed to be the right thing. Ah well.

    Mine was white vinyl as well. I keep the manuals in the pouch behind the front passenger's seat.

    Mine came with a real nice black leather zipper book that has an area for all of the maintenance, instructions manuals, business cards and a pen. It has the Toyota logo on it in red. It fits perfectly in the far back slot of the lower glove box.

    I got a nice leather (leather like) case from the dealer at no charge. I think I also saw them for sale at one of the dealers I visited. I seem to recall this "accessory" selling for about $8.

    It looks exactly like a zippered cover for your bible! Of course the owner's manual is your Toyota bible.

    If I ever remember when home I will try to take a picture and you all can do a dealer invasion ask why you did not get the good case!

    thanks for posting the picture that is exactly what my dealer gave me for my manuals.
    The site says vinyl, I think mine is leather, sure feels and smells like it.

    mine came with a christmas gift of first aid kit and emergency kit, but having one of these for first aid is a good idea.

    Another east coaster, got one.

    Did the dealers tend to skimp, west of the Mississippi?

    You guys got white VINYL cases and are complaining? Mine is cardboard... barely. I even mentioned how crappy that was to the sales guy. Nice car like this, and nothing to hold the manuals? Grrr.

    When I bought my Corolla in 1996, in Uniontown, PA, I got a nice black case for my manual. In December 2005, I bought my Prius in Philadelphia. I didn't get anything for the Prius manuals!

    I was impressed with the leather one I got with my replacement 05 prius in late october. Was told "thats how they come now". From reading the posts here it seems it's just the late 05's on through 06 get them.
