It depends on your definition. The hard outer covering of an egg is called a shell. It protects the contents of the egg, and gives chicks a safe place to develop when the egg is incubated. The coating that is put on the egg when it is laid which keeps out bacteria is called the bloom. The bloom protects the egg until it is washed off; at that time, the egg is then susceptible to germs entering the egg through the shell.
A leathery shell is a shell that is flexible rather than solid like the shell of a bird egg. A snake's egg has a shell that is flexible, as does a turtle's egg.
