nokia face plate

The genius of the faceplate lay in its construction.

A sturdy primary shell housed the circuit board, screen, and battery.

A decorative, high-quality polycarbonate plate snapped over the front (and sometimes back).

Most faceplates were paired with a removable rubber keypad , which acted as a bumper for the buttons.

In the early 2000s, changing your faceplate was the ultimate social statement.

Unlike modern glass phones, these plastic plates were impact-resistant and easily replaceable if scratched. 🎨 The Customization Culture
