Where can I find decent faceplates?

I'm looking for some decent faceplates, the Sony ones are like $75+ which is ridiculous since it's literally a piece of plastic. I'm not looking for full skins, just faceplate replacements that pop off.

Edit - it seems that Sony is super restrictive on allowing 3rd party faceplates or something, since I can't find ANY faceplates that aren't Sony and wayyyyyyy overpriced. Am I out of luck?

Whats wrong with buying skins? cheap, large selection, don't like it? who cares you only spent like $5

because I don't want an entire skin, and the design is based around covering the entire PS4, so putting just the faceplate usually looks awkward. Plus, they're stickers, I'm looking for an actual faceplate replacement [the plastic part]

Thats fair enough, I'm pretty sure if you give it some time there will be more faceplates on the market both third party and official, and the current ones for sale are "limited edition" which may explain the ridiculous pricing.

I did however find this one for $50 less but its out of stock currently http://store.sony.com/playstation-4-symbols-ps4-faceplate-zid27-PS43000706/cat-27-catid-EOL-PlayStation-Accessories

Sony's website sells them, but the only one in stock is this Little Big Planet one http://store.sony.com/littlebigplanet-3-ps4-faceplate-zid27-PS43000705/cat-27-catid-All-PS4-Accessories

Every time I check the CDN Sony store everything is virtually sold out (I didn't check right now but it's a given). How does that even happen??? Sorry for off topic.

Maybe check dbrand? They're still skins but modular and really, really nice (I have one).

Just checked it out. I like how you can see roughly what it will look like. Well prices too.
