5.0 out of 5 stars I like this case!, November 13, 2008

This review is from: Logitech PSP PlayGear Pocket - Slim (Accessory)

Ok, so I just got a PSP3000 and needed some good protection. I am an adult with medium size men's hands, and, although I like that the PSP is small, I find it's almost too small for playing pleasure. In fact, when I first got the PSP3000, I was jammin' to God of War, side-steppin' and slashin' baddies with Kratos' blades when the PSP almost flipped out of my hands! Because the PSP Slim (2000 or 3000) has such a small form factor, if you have medium to large hands, you should definitely consider getting the Logitech case. The case is a clam shell design that fully protects the PSP from front to back and allows access for you to play the PSP while it rests within the case, therefore giving it a little more bulk for those of us adult PSP users. The upper part of the clam shell also folds back and doubles as a stand if you want to set your PSP on a table to play. Also, the case includes a template that you can use to cut out pictures, illustrations or just about anything you want and use as "wallpaper" inside the case. I'm a grown man and I didn't think I'd ever avail myself of this little feature, but lo and behold I've now got a nice little human skull illustration on my Logitech case that I downloaded for free from the Playgear Pocket Skins website. Lastly, the Logitech case is also very, very reasonably priced. That's my two cents. . .

When I ordered this on Amazon, I was hoping that it wouldn't be some sloppy redesign of the original PSP case. Well I am happy to say that this case lives up to the quality that was present in other Logitech cases from the other generations.

All of the ports have ample access room, except for the USB port on the top that requires for the PSP to be removed. Hard plastic covers the PSP from head to toe and the rubber fitment in the case cradles the PSP with no wiggle room. Logitech also sends out stencils with the case, allowing you to slip in any piece of artwork that you desire so that it is visible from the outside. The hinges are strong and they will hold the cover at whatever angle you like. When the cover is opened all the way, it acts as a stand that lets your PSP stand at a 45% angle that is good for displaying the console. The bottom of the case is also a neat little feature that exposes the "PSP" logo ring on the back of the PSP. Since I have the God of War: Red PSP, the combination of black and red go really well together.

Overall, this is a great PSP case that not only protects the PSP, but makes sure that all of your essentials are accommodated. You could definitely take this on the road with you without hesitation and I recommend it to anyone who is willing to invest in the protection of their PSP.

Having already owned the original Playgear Pocket for the "phat" PSP, when I bought my slim, I was clamoring for Logitech to make a version for the new PSP model.

Just like the original playgear pocket this case provides excellent protection for your PSP, the outside is clear dense plastic, and your PSP fits snuggly inside within a rubberized casing that covers both the top and bottom of the system. Additionally, you can use the Playgear Pocket as a viewing station for movies and such by simply flipping the top to the back, thus standing the system up.

Another cool aspect of the playgear pocket is that you can customize the cover to change up the look of your system. By removing the top inner rubber layer, you can place an image inside and then reinstall the rubber. Mind you, the image is one that you will have to find, print out and then cut to the shape of the cover, and in the package, Logitech supplies you with the template shape. Unfortunately it is here where I have to give the Playgear Slim its one fault. The template they give is NOT a precise fit. The lower portion of the template is not accurate and when you cut a design out using the template you will see that the lower indented areas are too short for the case, leaving some of the rubber visible. Now this is not a big fault, but its something that should not have happened and could have been avoided with some simple measuring on the part of Logitech. Im a big person on customization and looks so I had to mention this, because its really the only problem with this case.

Also be advise that this will add some weight and bulk to the PSP, so if youre looking for something really lightweight and sleek, this might not be the case for you. But if you are looking for a multifunction case that is built like a tank, then look no further
