There are two issues here. The first is that the mark would need to float over the cover, which has some performance implications. The second is that the mark would occlude part of the cover (perhaps a lot of it depending on its size), which isn't a good thing.
I have considered trying different backgrounds or putting borders around the cover, but these both have problems with potential visibility. The same thing is true if I put a smaller icon; it would need a border to be sure that it wasn't lost in the colors of the cover, making it larger.
Another thing I have considered it to extend the grid vertically and put the check icon (or something like an under-bar) outside the cover. The problem here is that there would be fewer covers.
There are times where I wish touch devices had the notion of float-over.
