More details to this question:
Im working on a new product that is a cover for high end cooler such as Yeti and Engel. It will have its won logo and its only something to put around the cooler. The logo of the cooler will not be affected and it will actually be displayed. You can compare it with a Car or boat cover. Can I get in trouble with the cooler manufacturers for that?

The risk in this type of situation is in your marketing. You either have to avoid using their cooler trademarks in your marketing or you need to be very careful in how you do use it so that you do not confuse consumers into believing your company and their company are related.
I have a cover for my iPhone that is not made by Apple and it doesn't allow the Apple trademark to show through.
Good luck,
Todd
