I don't know where you can buy a plate, someone will come along who knows I'm sure. Can you buy a broken 505 for parts?
I know, it didn't drop from very high, about 3 and a half feet at most! Good thing i had the leather cover on it! But yes, i was very lucky! The plate actually bent inward and broke at where the screw holds it. I thought it was metal but its very cheap plastic, no wonder it broke! But the good thing about plastic is that crazy glue should be enough to hold it! But i would rather have some replacement parts... would be nice if there was some custom parts... like metal plates rather than flimsy plastic plates! But readers are not yet really mainstream so i doubt someone started a business arround this...

Yeah would be an idea, but buying a defective one on Ebay might be expensive... anyway considering the part i want to replace.
