lost epl6 battery and sd card cover

My bottom cover slipped off my epl6 and was lost.  I ?don't see a replacement on the oly accessories page.  Any suggestions on what I can do to keep this area clean and secure?

A quick search found this, a more careful search may find the right colour http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/e-pm1-battery-cover-door-white.html

E-PL5 and 6 are basically the same cameras, so the door will fit.

Make sure the notches that hold the pins are intact. A piece of plastic snapped off my EPL5, so the cover often fell out when I would take the SD card out and leave the camera laying with the door open.

I put a tiny drop of epoxy on the end of the broken part, making sure I left plenty of room for the pin. Let it dry and the cover snapped in fine.

Thanks for the heads up Baxters,  I'll try a little epoxy because every time it seems that I take the card out the cover comes off.
