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.
