PS5 Standard Console Face Plates in Kenya

PS5 Standard Console Face Plates | Change The Look Of Your Console | For Standard PS5 (Not Slim Or Pro) | Colours Confirmed In Stock | Pair Of Covers

PS5 face plates are replacement side covers that clip onto the PlayStation 5 and change its colour. This page is for the standard PS5, the original large model, and not for the PS5 Slim or the PS5 Pro. Our supplier's list gives only "PS5 Std Face Plates", so we do not know the maker, the colour or whether the plates fit the disc model, the Digital Edition or both, and we confirm all of these on the pack before you pay. Available in Kenya from City Gadgets Kenya, this page is for shoppers searching "PS5 face plates Kenya", "PS5 console covers Kenya", "buy PS5 faceplates Nairobi", "PS5 standard faceplate", "PS5 cover colour", "PS5 shell Kenya" or "PlayStation 5 skins Nairobi".

The standard PS5 ships with white covers, and many owners want a different colour to match a room, a TV unit or their own style. Face plates are the simple way to do it, without any tools. This page explains what face plates are, which console models they fit, what we do and do not know about this item, and how to check them when they are delivered.

Key specs at a glance

Specifications come from published manufacturer and retail specification sheets. Gaming accessories are sold in several versions with different colours, model codes and platform labels, so please ask our team to confirm the exact model, colour and version in stock before you pay.

What's in the box

The pack contents are not listed in our supplier's list. We confirm exactly what is in the pack for your unit, including the number of pieces, before you pay.

Overview: who PS5 face plates are for

Face plates are for PS5 owners who want to change how the console looks. A white console can feel out of place in a black TV unit or a coloured room, and face plates let you choose black, red, blue, pink, purple or other colours. They are a low-cost way to personalise a console, and they are popular as gifts for gamers.

They also help owners who have scratched or yellowed the original covers over years of use. A new set of plates can make an older console look fresh.

They do not change how the console works. Plates are cosmetic and do not add performance, cooling or storage.

Which PS5 do they fit?

The PS5 comes in several models, and covers are made for specific models. The original, or standard, PS5 comes in a disc version and a Digital Edition, and the covers on the two versions differ slightly in shape because of the disc drive. The PS5 Slim and the PS5 Pro have different shapes and different covers altogether. A set made for the standard console will not fit a Slim or a Pro.

Our supplier's list says these are for the standard console. We confirm whether they fit the disc version, the Digital Edition or both, before you pay. If you are not sure which console you own, look at the model number on the back or underside, or bring the console or a photo.

If you own a PS5 Slim or a PS5 Pro, tell us, and we will help you find the right covers instead.

Official and unofficial plates

Sony has released its own covers for the PS5 in colours such as Midnight Black, Cosmic Red, Nova Pink, Starlight Blue and Galactic Purple, and later colours. Sony's covers are priced well above the price of this item. Our supplier's list does not say who made these plates, and at this price they are normally aftermarket covers from another maker, not Sony's own. We do not claim they are Sony covers.

Aftermarket plates can be perfectly good, but quality varies. Fit, colour and finish differ between makers. Check the plastic for a clean finish, even colour and a snug fit. A cover that is loose will rattle, and one that is too tight can stress the clips.

We show you the pack before you pay, so you can see the finish and the colour.

Fitting the plates

Fitting is meant to be simple and tool-free. You remove the original covers and fit the new ones. Sony publishes a video for its own covers, and the process is similar for most plates, but the exact method depends on the plates, so we show you in the shop. Do it with the console switched off and unplugged, on a soft surface so that nothing is scratched.

Take your time and do not force the clips. If a cover does not slide on smoothly, stop and check the alignment. Keep the original covers in a safe place in case you want to put them back or sell the console later.

Do not block the air vents. The covers are designed so that air can flow through the console, and a badly fitted cover can reduce cooling. Check that the vents are clear after fitting.

Is it worth buying?

If you like a coloured console, yes, and the cost is low. If you do not mind white, you do not need them. If you want an official Sony cover, tell us, because that is a different product and price.

Plates are cosmetic, so choose a colour you will like for years. Think about the room, the TV unit and the controller. A black plate with a white controller is a common and attractive choice.

Remember that a console with covers off is more exposed to dust and knocks, so keep the originals on if you plan to move the console often.

Common questions before buying face plates

Do I need to buy new plates for each colour I like? Yes. Each set is one colour. Keep the original white covers so that you can change back.

Will the plates make the console hotter? A properly fitted plate does not block the vents. Check that the vents are clear after fitting and that the console is not in a closed cabinet.

Can I fit them myself? Most owners can. If you want help, bring the console to the shop and we will show you.

Will fitting plates affect my warranty? Fitting a cover does not normally involve opening the console. If you are unsure about your console's warranty, check its terms and tell us.

How do I clean plates? Wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use strong cleaners, which can dull the finish.

Questions we hear often about PlayStation gear in Kenya

Is it safe to buy gaming accessories from a shop in town? It is safe if you buy from a seller who shows you the item, gives you a receipt and explains the warranty. We let you inspect the box and test the item before you pay, and we confirm every detail that is not published.

Can I return an item that does not fit my console? Fit problems are best solved before you buy, which is why we ask for your console model and check the item with you. If something is wrong when it arrives, contact Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 straight away and we will advise on the next steps.

Do you deliver in Nairobi and outside? Yes. Orders confirmed before 3pm are delivered the same day in Nairobi, and outside Nairobi we deliver by courier, typically 1 to 3 business days after dispatch. The delivery charge is confirmed before you pay, and M-Pesa is accepted.

How do I know the item is new? Every item we list is brand new, and we show you the sealed pack. If a pack looks opened or damaged, tell us before you pay.

Can you recommend what else I need? Tell us your console, your games and your budget. We would rather recommend one good item than sell you several that you do not need.

Final buying notes

Before you order the PS5 Standard Console Face Plates, take a minute to think about which PS5 model you own and which colour suits your room. If you are unsure, call or WhatsApp our sales team on 0745 575 931 with the model of your console and what you play, and we will tell you honestly whether this item is right for you.

We would rather lose a sale than sell you something that does not suit your setup. Every item is brand new, we let you inspect the pack and we confirm any detail that is not published before you pay.

You can visit the shop at New Alnoor Exhibition, Shop 7, Second Floor, Taveta Road, Nairobi CBD, to see the item, or we can arrange same-day delivery in Nairobi for orders confirmed before 3pm.

A good tip is to photograph the original covers and the way they sit before you remove them, so you can fit them back correctly later.

Using PlayStation accessories in a Kenyan home

Most PlayStation accessories are used in a sitting room or bedroom, around a TV, a console and a power socket. A few habits protect both the accessory and the console. Plug the console and its accessories into a surge-protected extension, because Kenya's power can spike when it returns after an outage, and spikes are a common cause of damaged electronics. If a thunderstorm is coming, switch the console off and unplug it. Keep the console in a place with good airflow, away from curtains, blankets and the back of a cabinet, because the PS5 is a large console that needs room to breathe. Dust is a fact of life in Nairobi, so wipe accessories with a dry cloth and keep ports free of dust.

Think about where cables will run. A cable across a walkway is a trip hazard and a pulled cable can drag a console or camera off a shelf. Use cable ties or clips to keep leads tidy. If small children or pets are in the house, keep small accessories and loose parts out of reach.

Setting up your PS5 for the whole family

The PS5 has family and parental controls that are worth setting up if children use the console. You can create a child account, set daily play-time limits, restrict games by age rating and control spending in the PlayStation Store. These settings protect children and avoid surprise bills, which matters in a home where a parent's M-Pesa or card might be linked to the account. Set a strong passcode on the parent account, and do not share it.

Storage is the other everyday issue. The console has a fixed amount of internal storage, and modern games are large. Delete games you have finished and keep only those you play. If you run out of space often, tell us, and we can advise on storage upgrades that are compatible with the console. Keep the console software updated, since updates add features and fix problems.

Internet, TV and sound: getting the basics right

Online play, downloads and streaming depend on your internet connection. A wired connection from the router to the console is more stable than Wi-Fi, which can suffer from walls and distance. If you must use Wi-Fi, place the router in the same room or use a mesh extender. Check that your plan has enough data, because game downloads can use many gigabytes.

The TV matters too. A TV with a game mode reduces input lag, and an HDMI 2.1 port is needed for the highest frame-rate and resolution modes on the PS5. If your TV is older, you can still enjoy the console, but some features will not work. For sound, a headset is the simplest choice for late-night play, and a soundbar adds to the family experience in the sitting room.

Caring for your console and accessories

Dust and heat are the enemies of electronics in Nairobi. Place the console where air can flow around it, never inside a closed cabinet, and do not stack other devices on top. Wipe the outside with a dry cloth and do not use liquids. Clean the console's air vents with a soft brush or a gentle blower now and then, but do not open the console.

Charge controllers and other accessories with a good cable and a surge-protected socket. Do not leave them charging for days at a time, and do not leave them in hot places, such as on a windowsill in direct sun. A little care keeps your gear working for years.

Buying PlayStation gear: a quick guide

Think about what you need, in this order: first, a controller for each player; second, a headset for comfortable, private sound; third, a charging dock or a spare controller so that play is never interrupted; fourth, storage and protection, such as a carrying bag or a stand; and last, extras such as a camera or a remote. You do not need everything at once, and it is better to buy a few good items than many cheap ones.

Checking compatibility before you buy

PlayStation accessories are made for specific consoles and controllers, and a mismatch is the most common reason for a return. The PS5 came in a standard edition with a disc drive, a Digital Edition without a disc drive, a slimmer redesigned version and a PS5 Pro, and some accessories fit only some of these. The DualSense controller and the DualSense Edge controller are different products, and parts for one do not fit the other. PlayStation 4 accessories and PlayStation 5 accessories are often different too.

Before you buy, write down the exact console and accessory you own. Tell us, and we will confirm that the item works with your setup before you pay. If you are not sure which version you have, bring the console or send a photo of the model sticker.

Genuine and imitation accessories

PlayStation accessories are widely copied. Imitations are often cheaper, and some work fine, but some use poor materials, have unreliable electronics or may not be recognised by the console. For items that connect to the console, or that protect an expensive device, we recommend genuine products and we say clearly what the item is. Check the printing on the box, the model code and the finish of the product, and be wary of a price far below the market.

How to check your item when it is delivered

1. Inspect the box for damage before you sign, and check that the box is sealed.
2. Open it and check that the contents match what we confirmed with you.
3. Check the build: the finish should be clean, the fittings should be complete and nothing should rattle or feel loose.
4. Test the item with your console if you can, or let us test it in the shop.
5. Keep the receipt and the box.
6. Contact our Customer Relations team on 0794 488 806 straight away if anything is wrong.

How to avoid a fake or counterfeit item

• Check the printing and the logo. Blurry text, spelling mistakes, a wrong logo or a missing model code are warnings.
• Check the box. A genuine box has sharp printing, a model number and a sealed finish.
• Compare the build. Rough edges, loose parts and a flimsy feel are warnings.
• Watch the price. A price far below the market is a reason to ask why.
• Buy from a seller with an address. Choose a seller who gives a receipt and explains the warranty, and avoid paying a stranger before you have seen the product.

Warranty and stock

Warranty depends on the market version of the product and on who stocks it. We confirm the model, the version and the exact warranty terms in writing for the specific unit before you pay, and Customer Relations on 0794 488 806 handles warranty questions after purchase. Keep your receipt and the box.
