Or is it just for show? I don't believe I've ever came across anything hinting at the base protection that covie armor gives.

If your talking about the elites remember that elites use shield technology as their defense. They might of simply modified their armour to be more lightweight or more suited to jungle combat.
It has been shown that standard Elite armor is quite sufficent in combat, however, the ornamental Arbiter armor was said to be less so. It also could not maintain infinite Camo.

When dispatching an Elite tis best to just spray till rounds hit the soft squishy parts....the armor is more a harness than a plate....so, gaps exist...
