Front Face Plate Faceplate Shell Case Cover Replacement for Sony PSP 1000 1001 Fat (Black)

It’s not the same construction method as OEM so it’s a little more flexible. The Sony logo and PS logo as skewed a bit as to probably attempt to get around licensing or trademark usage. Only reason purchased was to allow the use of the glass lcd cover instead of the plastic one to take better advantage of optical clarity and performance of the IPS LCD upgrade. Did have to disassemble the power indicator to trim the LED light tube as it was poking up through the front panel.

The PSP screws do not fit in this cover. The holes in this faceplate are too small and won’t fit in it without a lot of doing. There was no bottom hole for the bottom screw to secure the faceplate. Ended up returning because without a bottom hole, the faceplate won’t stay flush on the console.

Waited to write this review to make sure the product didnt fail. This replacement faceplate worked amazing well for my PSP 1000 model. It was easy to install and made my console look brand new. It is noticable different from the original faceplate as the original is a smooth one-piece faceplate while this replacement had a screen that can be removed. While it is not a 100% OEM replacement part, it did what I needed it to do at a price that I was happy with. You cant go wrong with this if you need to replace that old nasty scratched up screen!

To replace current faceplate

Love it

Fitment is bad due to poor cleaning of extra plastic,also the bottom middle screw point was broken or incompletely molded so the faceplate doesnt actually get held down correctly. Big gap between the faceplate and the actual device, and also the holes for the buttons are oversized,careful getting lint in there and ruining your screen or short circuiting the mother board.

This was not a good fit it caused directional issues (EXTREME JOYDRIFT)on the Dpad and the Joy stick! When I replaced it with the original faceplate it played Great.

This product was a perfect fit for my psp 1001 and it was very easy to install

Got it since the OEM one I ordered never showed up, read the reviews and only thing that worried me was people complaining bout the left thumbstick not fitting... i dont think people realize that the thumbstick pops off. Once i did that everything screwed and set into place perfectly, would definitely recommend to anyone needing a front shell replacement

Avoid this shell, the HOLD led hole is empty and will therefore allow dust and debris to go into the portable handheld. The original shell case has clear plastic tabs on the holes to allow the LED to shine through, this shell is missing that important piece. Even the OE plastic piece wont work as a modification to this shell. Also needed to trim some excess plastic parts to allow the Dpad piece to fit correctly without rubbing against the the mounting hole inside. Will need to purchase another shell to replace this junk.
