Description:

Aftermarket replacement for missing or damaged PS3 front media flaps on launch models.

The Relid Classic PS3 Card Reader Cover restores the original front media bay appearance on PlayStation 3 launch consoles with integrated card readers. It is a brand-new reproduction designed to match the shape, curvature, and glossy transparent finish of original launch-era hardware.

Also known as the PS3 media flap, card reader door, or front media bay cover.

Overview

Original PS3 card reader covers are increasingly difficult to source in complete, undamaged condition. Many used or secondary-market options are worn, incomplete, or inconsistent in fit.

The Relid Classic Card Reader Cover is not refurbished and not a cosmetic overlay. It is a new Aftermarket reproduction that installs using original mounting points and restores the console to a clean, original-style appearance.

Is This the Right Part?

This part fits only PlayStation 3 launch models that originally had a front card reader/media bay and are missing or have a damaged flap.

If your PS3 does not have a front card reader bay, this part will not fit.
