Hi guys,

just wondering if there is a reseller that sells the silver plates from the prs 505. My reader fell to the ground (thankfully no internal dammage... buying some bookarmor so it never happens again...), but the bottom silver plate twisted and almost broke in half while trying to put it back together. Just need to find a web reseller that has these in stock, same or better ones... I'm guessing they will be a hot item when people start changing the batteries because these babies sure break off easy... very cheap metal! Wouldn't mind getting an upgrade on them!

Edit : Ahem, i mean plastic plates... not even cheap metal. What was i thinking... guess the R&D department thought metal would protect it too well... ;p

edit 2 : You can order it from sony here is the info :

The part number of the PLATE (LOWER) ASSY is A1362415A and it costs $ 35.98. While the part number of the PLATE (UPPER) ASSY is A1362416A and it costs $ 35.98.
