Abstract: A weatherproof outlet cover assembly for protecting an outdoors electrical outlet is disclosed. The cover includes a housing which is hinged at one corner so that the cover can be used for either a horizontally or vertically oriented electrical receptacle. With the corner hinge, the cover closes due to gravity in either position, thus ensuring that the cover will always remain closed unless it is purposely held open. The hinge preferably includes a baffle which directs water down and away from the mating surfaces of the housing and back body. The back body may have a recessed and key shaped opening so that existing screws in a receptacle need only be backed partially out, rather than being completely removed. A wall plate may be snapped into place within the back body using a unique tab and tooth rack combination.
