The L2/R2 button grips for the PSVita 1000 model haven’t been on sale in a long time at most online retailers. Unless you go to eBay or Amazon and pay over a $100 for them you’re not going to get a set of this grips. The reason why we haven’t seen other companies like Hori make them is that the 1000 model is a dead system and there’s no more of them being made, unlike the 2000 model which seems to get a new color every other year in Japan.

Now JOETSU Electronics still has the L2/R2 button grips for the PSVita 1000 for sale but not at retailers we are used to. Since JOETSU Electronics is a Japanspne company they do sell them on their Yahoo store.
