This might be a neat idea.. maybe I should have posted it on the Wish List forum a few years ago.

It would be cool if the docking sled had a spring mounted hinged cover on it so when the player were removed, the cover would slide shut and cover the empty hole.. and sliding the player back in would just move the cover back to its upright position.. am I making my idea clear?

I know that there is not enough physical space for that to happen but it doesnt hurt to dream..
