• the cover body including
• an upper outer surface,
• a first lateral outer surface,
• a second lateral outer surface, the base body being provided between the first lateral outer surface and the second lateral outer surface in a cover attachment state where the cover is attached to the base body,
• a first shoulder provided to the second end part and provided between the upper outer surface and the first lateral outer surface, the first shoulder including a first curved surface connecting the upper outer surface and the first lateral outer surface, and
• a second shoulder provided to the second end part and provided between the upper outer surface and the second lateral outer surface, the second shoulder including a second curved surface connecting the upper outer surface and the second lateral outer surface,
• the buffering part being in contact with the base body when the cover is deformed by force applied from a user's hand,
• the buffering part is at least partially spaced apart from the base body in the free state, and
• the buffering part extends from the first shoulder.
