    Too bad they don't show the bezel or how it attaches. If it matches and uses the DVD bracket, this would be a good option.

    I asked about this and it's possible to detach the front plate (2 screws) and put on your own. But I don't know if the DVD front plate easily detaches or if it fits at all..

    If this one fit the new Z, let me know. I am waiting for the caddy that can be installed my new Crucial C300.

    The bezel on my BluRay is removable, but is fitted. I don't recall any screws other than the metal mounting kit that hold it in place. I think it just snaps in/on.

    Hi, Folks!

    Indeed, when I bought a new UJ242A Blu-Ray drive, I asked the seller about how to remove the drive's bezel, so that I could replace it with the bezel from the current DVD drive in my Z. The answer:
    FYI!

    You cannot swap the bezel on the Lenovo adapter.

    Just uploaded some new pics of the drive with the bezel removed. It's really easy to remove. There is an eject button and LED under there too.
