4.0 out of 5 stars This is the protection your PSP needs., May 9, 2005

This review is from: PSP PlayGear Pocket (Accessory)

This is the best case out there for the PSP.

1)It's protected both on the inside and the outside. The package says that the case is indestructable. The inside contains rubber that will take the impact of any drop leaving your PSP safe and scratch free.

2)The cover is customizable. So you can personalize this case with any picture of your choosing.

3)You can play while it's in the case, so there is no tedious taking in and out of your PSP.

4)It can charge in the case as well.

5)Over all it's worth the price and it beats every other case out there on the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars Protecting While Serving, May 15, 2005

This review is from: PSP PlayGear Pocket (Accessory)

This is a very cleanly designed and sturdy system case for the Sony PSP handheld. The clear polycarbonate shell fits the general shape of the PSP with access holes for power, headphone/remote jack, wi-fi, and on/hold switches. The inside of the PlayGear is lined with a rigid, rubber-like compartment that provides a snug fit for the unit itself. You can play your PSP without having to remove it from the case, which is neat, and it feels pretty good in doing so. The hinged top can be folded up to act as a glare screen or almost all the way back to allow you to "stand" the case on a flat surface for viewing UMDs as well.

Initially, I had some difficulty getting the case opened and closed. The latch button is of the pressure-sensitive style, and is molded in as part of the case. I suspect I just need to "break it in", so to speak, but it is worth noting.

Also, despite being designed to protect the unit while it is being used, it lacks a belt clip or other attachment that would make it easier to carry and thus even more portable.

Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with this product. The case is really intended to protect the PSP while you are using it, and in this respect, it does the job well. Those folks looking for a good travel case to store your PSP and accessories while going on a trip might be better served by the Pelican Road Pak kit, or other type of carry bag.

Here's the quick rundown:

Pros:
Clean lines/attractive styling
Lightweight
Sturdy
Access holes for charging, controlling the unit, or listening to MP3s while closed
Case doubles as a glare screen or viewing stand

Cons:
Latch is a little difficult to open
No additional compartments for extra storage
No belt clip or carry strap attachments
Still need a separate transparent overlay or monifilm guard for screen protection

2.0 out of 5 stars not really for the psp2k, October 14, 2007

= Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: PSP PlayGear Pocket (Accessory)

i just bought a piano black psp2k (mostly for movies while travelling) and thought this case would offer good protection while in my bag, which it does. the reason that i gave it 2 stars is that one of the best features for my intended purpose was the 270 degree hinge to make a stand while watching movies. unfortunately the psp2k headphone jack is in a place that's covered (just barely) so there's no way to use this a stand and have your headphones plugged in. the wireless on/off is also covered so that's useless as well.

i think it should be noted in the product description that this item doesn't work well (other than protection) for the psp2k. unfortunate.
