| Summary: Liquid Silver
91
It looks sweet. Not as good quality as the original one, but still good, pretty much what I expected. It's not like those cheap phone covers at all, it feel solid.
The general look of the faceplate is great, it really stands out. I think it was a bit overpriced for what it is, but if you want it you have to pay, simple. The screen is great nice and clear and it runs flush with the rest of the face, no complaints here.
The control pad felt a little 'clicky' and I was a little bit disappointed with this at first, but after a couple hours gaming it felt just like the original one, same goes with the buttons. The gaming buttons that is.
It all lines up perfect with the body of the PSP, very snug indeed. It would have been nice to have the SonyPSP logo on it, but I guess there would be a copy write issue with Sony. A nice custom logo would be cool.
Installation was easy, the online instructions cover it well, except. The bottom row of buttons (Home volume etc) need to be cut separately for them to work. The first time I assembled it the volume buttons were pushed down on the home button and rendered them useless. I thought I just didn't line them up, but I tried again and then same thing happened(grrrr) So, anyway, after cutting them separate it all worked fine so this wasn't really a big deal at all, it just meant I had to go through the installation a couple of times.
The analog controller looks a bit cheap as there is a plastic bit on the back that can be seen as it is clear(the pic might show this), no big deal, but still…
Note: be careful not to tighten the screws too hard. Make sure you have no dust on the inside of it, and take your time.
Overall I'm glad I got one. Here are some pics of mine. If you have any questions just leave them here and I'll try answer them for you.

Guntizzle,
It comes complete with plastic screen and buttons.
willardwong,
He has the liquid silver one. go to e-linksoft.com to find flickr link to better pics, its basically what you see is what you get. The silver colour is the same as what you would see on the caps of glossy solid chrome spray paint.

I would love to see your pictures; however your server is timing out. However, I have found the pictures on e-linksoft.com though via your link above.
Thanks for the review... I've been watching for one of this product.

Hi there Chase,
Have they sent you a tracking number already? If so, then it should be in the mail already. Must be the post office's efficiency.

Thanks GTOTURBO. I will try put some other picures up, but it's really hard to show what it looks like... I'll try at the end of the week.
overachiever - I got the nike strap from footlocker in Australia, it was a longer phone strap but I cut it down to the same length as a psp one.

Thank you for elaborating, yes I have a tracking number, so now it would be the post office's efficiency at fault. bastards! I really want it, (STILL DONT HAVE IT 3 days after my first post on this page!)
