Definition
后盖 has two distinct but concrete meanings: the back cover of an electronic device, book, or similar object, and the hard shell (carapace) of a crab, turtle, or other creature. Context makes the sense clear — when discussing phones, cameras, or books, it refers to the back panel; when talking about seafood or animals, it refers to the shell.
