Casio EM-500 Backup Battery Cover?

Yes, I know this is Aximsite, but I have noticed quite a few people here used to have the Casio EM-500 (one of which being me). Well, I just got one off ebay for $47, but it doesn't come with a backup battery, or the cover for it. The battery is no big deal, I can get that at Radioshack no problem, but I can't figure out where I should get the cover from. Anybody out there have any ideas?

Interestingly enough, there are many similarities between the Axim and the EM-500. There are roughly the same size, the Axim charger works on the EM-500 as does the backup battery. Sad though, the EM-500 screen is bigger and brighter than the Axim.

Just checked the only couple of parts stores I know of....and none of them have battery covers for Casio models. I know it's not the solution you want, but you could always (or at least temporarily) just stick some heavy-duty tape over the backup battery. :)

Yeah, I think that is what I am going to have to end up doing. Or maybe I can find a broken one on ebay for really cheap and take some stuff from that. I really want to find a broken green one (the one I got was the standard blue) so I can switch the cases off. When I fried my first one, I took it apart, and say that if I could find a different color casing, I could switch them out. I really like the green ones.
