 a second fit enhancing element coupled to the perimeter of the cover.    
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 5 , wherein the bottom portion is coupled to the top portion of material at a seam between the top and bottom portion, and wherein the second fit enhancing element is piping formed at the seam.  
     
     
         7 . The cover of  claim 6 , wherein the fit enhancing element adds a layer inside the seam.  
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a placket enhancing element coupled to the bottom portion of material and contiguous the placket that encourages the placket to lie flat when the placket is in a closed position.    
     
     
         9 . The cover of  claim 8 , wherein the placket enhancing element has a corresponding placket contiguous the placket.  
     
     
         10 . The cover of  claim 9 , wherein the placket enhancing element is a piece of material affixed to an inside surface of the bottom portion of material that is smaller than the bottom portion of material and whose corresponding placket lines up and is contiguous with the packet.  
     
     
         11 . The cover of  claim 10 , wherein the piece of material of the placket enhancing element couples to the top and bottom portions of material at the perimeter of the cover and further couples to the bottom portion of material at the placket.
