Sony may not have intended for the PlayStation 4’s hard drive cover to be customisable, but it’s cottoned onto the fact that people are using the removable face plate to personalise their platform, and has started to run its own line of custom concealers. However, while those are neat, these transparent ones from Cyber Gadget truly take the biscuit.
Spotted by DualShockers in Japan, the accessories allow you to get a glimpse at the inner-mechanics of your system, without leaving it open to catch dust. Those of you old enough to grow up in the 90s will remember that see-through electronics were once all the rage, but have gone out of fashion in recent times. We’ve absolutely no idea why.
Sadly, you can’t buy these in the West just yet, but some stockists are shipping them overseas, so feel free to fill your boots if you want to make your next-gen console a little cooler. What kind of cover would you like for your PS4? Open up in the comments section below.

Can't beat a bit of cheap, transparent plastic. Who else had a see-through Tamagotchi?!
@get2sammyb i had a see-through gameboy
Nice. Less of a fingerprint magnet!
I had a see through neon yellow Dreamcast, awesome. These are pretty OK, looks stupid with just the one block of transparent though.
Just for the record, but Nintendo just last month released a red and a blue see through 2DS. I have a 3DS and a 3DS XL and I am still tempted to get that one for looks alone.
If I was into customising my console I'd rather have a metal cover plate with the design cut out of it...then maybe some small light source fitted inside...a nice blue light. As it is my PS4 is tucked away and can't really be seen so the standard version suits me. Customisation options are always nice tho.
@get2sammyb
Is it official? Are we allowed to say "Rad" again and not get vilified??
[except on internet forums]
@General_Spiller I've been saying rad for months with no regrets.
@get2sammyb I didn't have that, but I do have my main PS2 and PS3 controllers a dark blue see-through color, which looks similar to the blue plate in the image. I call them Blear and Sir Blear II. I'm actually hoping that there'll be a PS4 controller like that so I can continue the tradition and name it Lord Blearington III. Yes, really.
@General_Spiller If people call you weird, just say they're wiggity whack in the chrome dome and moonwalk away.
its been sold out for weeks, if not months
@sajoey @General_Spiller 'Rad' is always acceptable.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi
I agree. It looks goofy with just part of it being transparent. Either do the whole thing or not at all.
I see this as a bonus considering the material they went with you can look at it funny and it'll scratch and get smudges, so this would be an improvement while protecting the original if the price is right.
I liked how Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/crystal were transparent glitter, the remakes should be too! I have a red transparent ds3, now I want a ds4 in that black plate's style
I had a transparent ps2 controller back in the day
I had a transparent yellow PS1, as well as a transparent teal PS2 controller.
Also had transparent blue GameBoy Color accessories. That stuff was THE BOMB.
@get2sammyb lol those things sucked, would break super easy. Pretty fun though! I think I had the bootled cheap ones though :/
Would love one of these things! @get2sammyb Pushsquare should definitely have a giveaway for these covers.
Custom covers! Custom covers everywhere!!! and I want them all.
@TOMBOY25 lucky you i hadba piece of coal
@get2sammyb I had a see through-pager and a see-through landline corded-phone when I was a teen.
