A passenger seat including a holding device for a media reproducing apparatus, includes a base holding fixture attached to a backrest of said passenger seat, at least one adapter adapted to be detachably connected with said base holding fixture, said adapter being configured for holding said media reproducing apparatus at said base holding fixture, a standardized electronic interface to the power supply of said media reproducing apparatus, and a protective shutter fixedly connected with said backrest. The protective shutter is adapted to be moved from an open position in which access to said adapter and said media reproducing apparatus is allowed, into a closed position in which said media reproducing apparatus and said adapter are completely covered by said protective shutter. The protective shutter is of break-proof configuration and made at least partially from a translucent material such that a screen is visible through said protective shutter in the closed position.
