Mine didn't come with the hot shoe cover. I ordered the Nikon BS-3 deluxe hot shoe cover. It's for the D5, D500, and D850. I don't know why they specify those cameras since all Nikons have the same shoe. It's made of two pieces and is easier to attach and remove than the standard BS-1 cover.
I saw an article recently that those 3 cameras leaked around the hot shoe in a water spray test. The cover is cheap and looks really nice on my D500. I am sure I will lose it at some point but I could buy a lot of these vs. fixing a leak that occurred during a rain storm I got caught in.
