If the Holy Quran is in a case, it is permissible to touch the case. It is also permissible to touch it using a handkerchief or any other type of cloth which is neither integral to you nor to the Holy Quran. It is Haram to touch the Holy Quran with the sleeve of your shirt or the edge of your scarf; even if a corner of a shawl is hanging off one shoulder, you cannot use the other corner of that shawl to touch the Holy Quran, as all of these are considered as being integral to you in the same way as the cover of the Holy Quran is considered as being attached to it.
(Durr-e-Mukhtar, Rad-dul-Muhtar, vol. 1, pp. 348)
