Foamy Lizard is another company we’ve reviewed recently. Not long ago, we looked at their DualSense controller charging cable, and it was well-designed. Now, let’s see how their PS5 dust cover compares to the competition.

The last important thing to note about the Esimen dust cover is that it’s smaller than our other two options. While the PlayVital and Foamy Lizard covers will fit any PlayStation 5, the Esimen only fits the digital edition. If your console has an optical drive, this cover is going to be too tight to fit.For all its qualities, it's not uncommon for people's launch-era PS4s to sound like a jet engine every time they turn it on now, partly because it's difficult to clean out any accumulated dust that has built up inside the console. This is true of any vented system, but the PS5 is introducing a very helpful new feature into its design--a "dust catcher" that makes it easy to regularly clean your system out. If you’re moving from a PC to a PS5 and missing those RGB-lit visuals, then these cover plates from Sikemay are for you. It’s loaded with countless RGB lighting combinations and adds a nice vibe to the console. If you’re not a fan of PS5’s low-key, minimalistic aesthetics, the Sikemay PS5 cover plates really are a game-changer. PlayVital is an experienced manufacturer of third-party console gaming accessories. Not long ago, we reviewed some of their DualSense controller skins, and we liked the design. So when it came time to review PS5 dust covers, PlayVital’s cover caught our eye. In Sony's teardown video of the PS5, two holes on the console are shown off. These are the dust catchers, where any dust collected by the system's fan is filtered to. This means that getting rid of the dust in your system--and avoiding a horribly loud fan--is simply a matter of vacuuming them out of these holes.

Prevention goes a long way in keeping dust at bay. Using an air purifier can help combat any build-up, but it won’t do all the work and you’ll need to replace the filters regularly. Even if it’s just an external wipe, cleaning the PS5 faceplates frequently is sensible, as is placing your PS5 on top of a cabinet or table to avoid the floor. Of course, make sure those surfaces are cleaned regularly too. If you opt not to use cover plates, you should be dusting your PS5 roughly once every couple of months. Are PS5 faceplates good? If you’d like to give your console a retro look without compromising on safety, the Foamy Lizard StealthPlates is sure to be one of the best options on the market. These plates come in two different designs so you can decide which is right for you.But, if you are opting for third-party cover plates that can significantly improve the airflow and ensure that the console stays cool, then this PS5 faceplate will also contribute to the life-span of the console. In addition to that, the material is also water-resistant. If you spill on it, the liquid will bead up on the surface and roll off. It’s not immersion-proof, but it keeps your PS5 safe from everyday mistakes. At the same time, the shell and liner are both breathable. As a result, moisture won’t build up inside due to condensation. This keeps your system from getting damaged due to moisture build-up.
