Many covers are diagonal (square or rectangular, divided into two triangles, with opening by lifting one of the triangles) .
In fact, the parts in the diagonal lids are separated from each other, so that on the site you can find a lid created from a combination of two different lids (which was probably not the manufacturer’s intention)

Many covers are “simple,” with a raised square background .
