A clip report cover for unpunched documents (16) comprises a U-shaped clip element that is formed by a retaining piece (7), a connecting rib (8), and a clip piece (9) and extends across the clip report cover in the swiveled-in or inserted state. The clip edge (12) of the clip piece (9) is lowered beyond the clip plane (19) of the retaining piece (7), preferably into a clip slot (14) configured in the retaining piece (7) or a retaining piece groove such that the documents remain securely clamped even after reducing the stack height.
