About this guide
Screen protectors for PS Vita are not one-size-fits-all. The PCH-1000 has a 5-inch OLED display; PCH-2000 is the later Slim with a different front assembly, so start by reading the model number before opening a protector. Almost all branded Vita protectors are discontinued and sold as old stock, while generic listings vary considerably. The choices below identify their intended series and material or coverage; a front film protects the display surface only unless a rear protector is separately included. Clean dust from the screen first and align the cut-outs without covering sensors or controls.

Buying tips
- Check PCH-1000 or PCH-2000 on the console before buying; matching the word ‘Vita’ alone is not enough.
- Do a dry alignment first, then use a dust-free room and lift any particle with tape rather than pressing it beneath the film.
- A front protector does not protect the rear touch panel. If rear coverage matters, buy a separately specified rear film or panel.
