Re-shell dilemma

Post by /psp »

Image I recently dug up my old PSP at my parwnts' and want to blow some new life in it. I've already flashed CFW 6.61 successfully and tested with a 64gb micro SD card adapter. I'm going to install an IPS display as well.
Now I'm sure if I should keep the original white enclosure or go with a translucent case... I think the blue one would give a nice 00'ies retro vibe in combination with the original white d-pad, buttons & thumbstick. (I'm currently trying to de-yellow them with hydrogen peroxide)
The original white front looks relatively clean at first sight, but it has a small crack on the right and the screw "lip" on the bottom has broken off. I'd install a new silver bumper and new shoulder buttons as well. I might as well buy the full shell since most of the times those parts are included as well.
Anybody who got lucky with one of those translucent blue cases? Got a link to one with a good fit? Or are they pretty much all the same quality on Aliexpress?
