They fit very snugly into all the ports, a bit too snugly. The USB cap attaches with nubs that enter in both the USB port itself and the two screw holes on either end of it. After placing it in the first time to test I attempted to remove it. Only, I wasn't paying attention -- the nubs of the cap were in the screw holes so tightly that when I pulled the cap, the silver plastic casing of the PSP came with it. Now the plastic casing on the top of my PSP sticks out a bit, and I can't figure out how to pop it back in place. I'm afraid I'll break it (if it's not already somehow broken) if I push too hard. And if you think this is a one-time thing and I'm just a clumsy fool, read ConraDargo's review, the same thing happened to him.
Anyways, despite that awful mishap, I still use the headphone and A/C caps. However, I can't recommend purchasing this product. The caps are very tiny, and have no way of staying attached to the PSP when you remove them to use the ports. Therefore, you've got to find some place (pocket, etc.) to store the easily misplaced caps while they're not in use. If you're concerned about dust, buy a case that completely encloses the PSP (not the Playgear Pocket).
Just the right sizes, fits very well, and the smaller pieces come in two sets so you don’t have to worry too much about loosing them. The USB-piece fits _too_ well though, or should I say that the plastic surrounding the USB-port is too loose? Because when you pull that protection off - the plastic almost comes off with it o.O
Anyway, this accessory is great! Get it if you're concerned about getting dust into your PSP, like me.
It's such a simple idea and on the other hand so essential, it's strange nobody thought of it before. If you carry your PSP in a backpack or bag, using the value pack soft case or any open-style case (Logitech, Brando, etc.), you need a dust caps - it's as simple as that. They're ideally sized for every hole we have in a PSP. In the package you get 2 for DC port, 2 for headphones and 1 for USB. They fit perfectly, without falling out - additionally, USB cap makes use of 2 screw holes.
Caps are made of plastic material, but hard enough to resist any damage when pulled out. One word of advice - if you use Logitech Playgear Pocket, the USB caps will be useless - it fits inside the case with PSP, but with some problems. But with the Logitech, the USB port is safe anyway. For a few $$, the Dust Caps from Hori are a must-have. Just don't lose it
These caps snap on very firm. They don't look out of place on the PSP at all, and most importantly, cover up that annoying little yellow "Look at me!" power port. Package comes with two of each of the headphone, power port, and one USB cover.
