My car came with a genuine Porsche cover that fits like a glove, with a cable lock. Very flattering. Don't know anything else about it. Kinda says "Steal me!" so I'd hesitate to use it outdoors in a public area for that reason alone.
If someone offered to trade me a new belly pan for it, I'd refuse.

Since my car was going to be outside for a bit last year in WI while Carl was working on the different projects on it, and since it's a soft-top car where the windows didn't seal all that well initially, I purchased a Coverking Autobody Armor Outdoor Cover. It's actually a cover for a 2012 Corvette because of my Convertible convversion, but is an absolutely perfect fit. For a regular 928 I'm sure the 928 model is the proper one but the shape of my car is different which is why I took some dimensions and then found a cover with those dimensions that had the same general silhouette - worked out perfect. It's nice and soft inside and waterproof on the outside. Here's a side profile so you can see the difference in shape and a couple pics from when it was parked at 928MS with the cover on it. I bought it from AutoAnything using one of their perpetial discount codes (think it was 20% or 30% off) and paid about $275 with free shipping.
It's a really nice cover and I'd recommend it.

Outdoor car covering scares me for anything other than overnight to keep the morning dew off.
If a big storm comes in, nothing is going to keep the cover from slapping in the wind which will do untold possible damage to the finish. No different than covering a car while on an open trailer.

I've had good luck with the "Coverking XtremeWeave Custom Fit Car Cover" sold by Costco online. I have one for my truck and one for the 928 and generally get 3 years out of them in the Texas heat. The one for the 928 cost $149.99.
