Just wondered if anyone has an idea on what to do with the terminal cover while the Unleashed unit is plugged in. I would like to remove it but not sure if it will break and I will not be able to get it back in place.

It's possible to remove the Cover without damaging it, by just pulling and wiggling the cover. But it's a lot more difficult getting it back into the camera without damaging it ;-)
As you pull on the little tab, it stretches a little and gets thinner, so at some point, you can just pull it out. But as you try to push it back in, it compresses and becomes a little wider. also, the narrow part of it is very flexible, so it's difficult to put any force into the push. So you have to use needles or something to help push it in, and anything small enough to also fit through the hole in the camera is thin enough to damage the wider part of the rubber flap that it's supposed to help push in...
Of course you can cut some of the rubber off to make the wider part narrower, and make it easier to insert again.

This is what the flap looks like when you pull it out:

Of course there's a risk of ripping off the part that goes into the camera, so please proceed at your own risk.

PS. I moved the topic to the Tips & Tricks forum - it fits better
