Claim 2:
3. A method for manufacturing a light-emitting device, the method comprising steps of:
forming a cover, which comprises:
injecting a light-transmissive material into a space defined in a molding device, and
hardening or curing the injected light-transmissive material,
wherein the formed cover comprises an upper portion, a sidewall extending along a peripheral edge of the upper portion, and a recess defined by the upper portion and the sidewall;

disposing a fixing member on an outer lateral surface of the sidewall such that the fixing member projects from a part of the outer lateral surface of the sidewall;
disposing a light-transmissive member on a light extraction surface of a light-emitting element to be disposed on a substrate; and
disposing the cover so that the light-emitting element is housed in the recess,
wherein the fixing member is formed of a material that is deformable due to a pressing force generated upon engagement of the fixing member with a counterpart member.
