I tried replacing the cover of the PS5!

Review

The next-generation home video game console " PlayStation 5 ( PS5)" was launched in November 2020 with much anticipation.
Although it has been more than a year and a half since its release, PS5 is still not readily available, but the future looks bright as Sony announced in its Q1 FY2022 financial results briefing held on July 29, 2022 (Friday) that "PS5 hardware supply volume will increase in the second half of the year".
We have purchased the popular " PlayStation 5 cover " as an accessory for PS5, so let's take a look at the cover and try it on!






PS5 in the editorial office...

A member of the editorial staff with his head in his hands.
It seems that he had accidentally dropped his PS5 while he was carrying it around to play with it during a break.


Saiga NAK

Fortunately, there was no problem in starting up the main unit, but it seemed that the cover had cracked.
The dirt on the cover is also becoming a bit noticeable, so maybe it's time to replace it... but I can't afford it...







The "PlayStation 5 cover" is opened!


Saiga NAK

So, I just bought a new "Cover for PlayStation 5"!
It's convenient to be able to replace the whole PS5 cover for such an occasion!
The price is available at Sony Store! 6,578 yen (tax included) The price is available at the Sony Store!
There are two versions, one for the standard edition and one for the digital edition, and each cover has a different shape, so be careful when you buy one.
By the way, the PS5 of the Saiga NAK editorial team is the standard edition with optical disk drive.

This time, I chose pink...not pink, but Nova Pink!

On the back of the cover, there is a hook to attach it to the main unit.


Saiga NAK

Following the enclosed instructions, first remove the top cover.


Saiga NAK

The instructions say to remove it by grabbing it near the PS mark and sliding it in the direction where the power cable connector is while pulling up the cover a little.
However, it is harder than I thought...


Saiga NAK

It was a little difficult because I did not know how much force to use, but I managed to remove it.
Next, the new cover is attached.
Align the convex part of the cover with the hole in the main unit, and push it in until it clicks into place.




Saiga NAK

Next, we will install the back cover.
In the same manner as the top cover, align the convex part of the cover with the hole positions and slide it in until it clicks....


Saiga NAK

Ta-da!
The cover has been successfully replaced!


Saiga NAK

I like the simple black and white design, but the bright two-tone color of Nova Pink and black also fits in well.
Maybe I can take this opportunity to unify even DualSense with Nova Pink!






A wide range of color variations to choose from!


Saiga NAK

That's all for this review of the new PlayStation 5 cover!
Although we introduced Nova Pink, the PlayStation 5 cover is available in Midnight Black,Cosmic Red,Starlight Blue,Galactic Purple, and more!
Why don't you change the color of your PlayStation 5 to match your room's interior?
