Tho messy to print, petG is a good compromise between ABS and PLA.

I did the covers in PLA, because it is a little stiffer than ABS. I
was concerned that the "softness" of ABS might wear down the latch
nubs quicker if the cover is taken off/on a lot. Of course if that
happens, then another one could be made easily (except for those
without a printer).
JamesZ brought up a point I forgot when uploading the files. That
being that the program I designed it with (AutoCAD 2006) saves its
files in "units", and programs that read these files may
interpret incorrectly. Apparently most slicers interpret "units" to be
mm (their default). My slicer has a button to convert "mm to inch",
which I use after loading the file. So if your slicer defaults to mm,
you will need to scale up the object by 25.4, or select "inch" after
loading.
The correct dimensions are 3.060" x 2.270" excluding projections. Of
course your finished dimensions may vary a little, so some fitting may
be required.
This is my first Thingiverse project, so I am still learning.

Those are nice Peter. Thank you for posting that.
What is the best material to make them with?
