BLUF...

If you're looking for a protective case...this isn't what you are looking for.

If you're looking for a glare shield that works and are aware that without an extra layer of protection you will end up with a $200 paperweight...well then enjoy the purchase.

So much promise...

I bought this on my wife's shared account thinking it would solve my travel issues with using the PSP in vehicles. And for the most part it did...

The Glare Shield may look goofy but it sure does work at cutting glare! It covers most angles and allows you to see the game or movie even while outside in daylight. That in and of itself is a great deal. The price was right as I paid about $6 when totalled with shipping. That's all that needs to be said on that.

Now on to the one MAJOR drawback. It completely scratched my screen up! I use a soft shelled case with my PSP so there's not much room for movement. The design that's used for cutting glare, also "cuts" into the screen. The top flap sits right against the screen at the top and rubs the screen. I have about 15 "rub mark" type scratches that will not come out. Since realizing this, I have used a small cloth like the one that came with my Ray Bans and lay that in between the glare shield and the screen. It works but it seems to me like they could have affixed some felt or something to that area and that would have kept my PSP from being ruined.

If I had known this going into the purchase I would be fine but because of the fact that my PSP is ruined, I can't recommend it to anyone. To remove any thoughts of careless or improper handling, I am a 34 yr old Air Force MSgt with more than 16 years of active duty service. I made a living as a crew chief on F-16's and know how to handle equipment. I am very responsible and careful with my gear. My PSP was scratch free until now as it was always put back in it's case after use.

Note that this is not a knock on the seller as I had no issues with them...actually gave them great feedback as they got it to me quick. Just a poor product.

the glare guard is nice it screws inti the 2 holes in the back . After you put it on it seems a little akwark at first after you open it there are 2 little side sheilds the filp down and rest on the edge of the screen and does block alot of the light out .these side pieces are on metal hindges and the flod down every time you open the guard . it is a little flimesy but overall good quality

First off its really cool how the springs on it open automatically when you unfold it. I have a PSP 3000 and once you screw it onto the top it fits nicely. I did notice the left and right side of the glare guard sit on the screen to I would definitely recommend a screen protecter before you get this to keep it from getting scratched up. The shield does prevent most of the glare when playing outside but I found I still could not play games that were not well lit in game, so dungeon crawler type games were out. It does exactly what it claims but some games were just not meant to be played outside. I never bothered testing it inside because it not needed for that.

For simple design but works perfect for preventing the Sun from glaring on the small psp screen, which would make it impossible to see. It fit perfect and functioned well. I did run into a problem when I bought armor for my psp, it did not fit the way it was intended so I had to make some adjustments. But for a simple and inexpensive fix for sun glare, this was a great choice!!

This shield works better than i had expected. Now i have the ability to play outside. At first it was weird because I had to tilt my psp a little bit but then i got use to it. I highly recomend this product especially since its very inexpensive.

The quality of the product and creativity is well but if i can see the screen how can i play or watch the movies...

When I bought this, I was sort of expecting a "case". But however, that wasn't the case. No pun intended. Ok, maybe it was. However, it's simple a "flap". Being in the Army, I carry my PSP in my cargo pocket. This case didn't help protect my screen, and it actually scratched it a bit. Luckily I had a saftey sticker over my screen. Also, the flaps that open up, can sometimes get in the way of the right arrow button, and the square button. It could have been designed a bit better. While it isn't horrible, I'd say to look elsewhere for a case.

i SHOULD HAVE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM BEFORE I BOUGHT. I DOES IT'S PURPOSE. WOULD BUY FROM SELLER IN THE FUTURE.
