I saw one KX3 dust cover when I visited with Wayne Dec 16.  I can say that
it fits the KX3 nicely and really looks good.
I usually keep my equipment open and "ready for use", but I think I will
have to have one of Rose's covers for my KX3.  I am beginning to wonder
whether I want any special "words" on it.
