So even though this article is about a mezuzah case, the question of a large klaf still stands. Picture of giant koten mezuzah: flickr.com/photos/bachrach44/19885274442/in/dateposted-public | |

It's a mezuza CASE, not a Mezuza.

The modern incarnation of an actual "cover" isn't really a halachic issue... | |
