OT: "covers" vs "cases"

[Rose]

It's suprising the number of folks who refer to "cover" or
"dust cover" when they actually mean a carrying case or
carrying bag!

The same appears to be true when referring to a "case".
Many actually mean the dust cover that sets atop a rig
on the desk.

This can actually become a costly ... for me ... matter.
Does anyone have a suggestion for better names for my
products that might help eliminate the confusion?

73!

Hi Rose,

How about just "dust cover" and "carrying case".  That should clear up
the confusion.

*Dust Cover = Throw Over Cloth

Case = Over Shoulder Carry Case

Just a thought.
