dust covers

Protective paper sleeves

Dust covers are protective coverings that shield objects from dust when not in use.

The term most commonly refers to the paper jackets wrapped around hardcover books, also called dust jackets: The first edition is worth more with its original dust cover intact.

Dust covers also protect furniture, equipment, or turntables from accumulating dust during storage.
