outer cover
Protective exterior layer
An outer cover is the exterior protective layer of something—a book's dust jacket, a cushion's removable case, or any wrapper designed to shield what's underneath.
The term emphasizes that there's an inner component being protected: The outer cover of the sleeping bag is waterproof.
