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

I bought this because it was advertised for the PSP 1000 series but it does not fit the Joy stick, it is too small I had to enlarge it with a knife to fit it properly.

Easy to install

Very good product

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.

Everything was fine except this part it’s right underneath the psp logo and can cause joystick drag if the bottom of the shell isn’t secure the bottom one is the original while the top is the new one

Great hardshell for my psp fits perfectly!! A+ to the construction

The writing on the plate was faded and scratched. I was going to return it but it was thrown in the garbage before I got the chance.

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.

Love it

The thumbstick hole was not big enough and had to be drilled - this was time consuming and difficult. I managed not to scratch the faceplate during this modification, but be aware that you will need tools and patience to even get this faceplate to work because of a flaw in its design. Also, this faceplate doesnt come with any buttons, meaning the buttons have to be removed from your previous faceplate and put into the new one. This was fine for the most part, but the bottom row of home/volume/start/select is quite flimsy, and my start button broke off during removal. It still works, but its loose and a little disappointing. Finally, the bottom of the faceplate is weirdly raised where the original is not. This means home/volume/start/select are more difficult to press. The faceplate did fit and had all the right screwholes, but i do not reccomend this product.
