5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, just what I was looking for., October 7, 2008

This what I have been looking for, for a long time. It fits very well around the PSP, while leaving shoulder buttons, charger port, and headphone port exposed for use. It will hold 2 UMDS along with your PSP SLIM (2000), but has a foldable screen protector that comes down and locks the PSP in, so despite the extra room (used or not) doesnt cause the PSP to flop around inside like the Logitech slim case. When you open the lid the screen protector still stays locked in so your PSP doesnt flip out. I hate flopping out, its the worst.

Only real cons are, even though you can play the PSP inside it, it makes it quite bulkier, but I loved this since the thing was so small it makes my 4th and 5th fingers go numb, now no more. Also, the screen protector, that stops it from flopping around and damaging the screen... well its slighty crooked, to the right, may just be mine, and I am extremely picky, so it may not even bother you. Also since the case, for your convience, leaves a few ports and jacks open it lets in dirt and dust, so I wrap it in a cloth and then take it with me in my bag, but again I am extremely picky, so it may not even bother you. Also the lid, unlike the Logitech one is 2 hinged and loose, so hit hangs down on your knuckles if you play it while in the case, but for me the slight lose in convience is well worth the gigantic increase in protection.

A bit long, but I really wanted to get it out there since i bought, tried, and returned many cases because they were pure garbage.

Hope this helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad case., June 2, 2008

= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: PSP Traveler Case (Video Game)

Note that is is for the PSP-2000 Series only and clearly states on the back of the package "Do not attempt to use it with any other PSP model". As I only have the PSP Slim then I can not test the any other model. In response to another reviewer here they say that the PSP symbol is not "on" the case but on a cardboard piece... so what? It keeps people from scratching off the PSP logo from constant wear and tear on the outside of the case and for those that want to remove the logo without damaging the case are also allowed to do so. I'll agree tha the "Made in China" etching on the front of the case is annoying.

Review: Great case with solid feeling plastic. Rubber insets are removable and I'm guessing it's so you can clean them because the PSP would not fit properly without them. The latch seems a bit too easy to open and you may have to squeeze the case slightly to get it to latch back properly. When the case is open you have full access to all buttons and hook-ups except the Wi-fi enable button at the top which is half-way covered. The PSP Slim fits perfectly and the rubber backing is already designed to hold the extended-life battery but it appears even without the extended battery it would still fit nicely. There is an extra screen protector piece that folds down over the PSP to 1) Hold it in place and 2) What else? Protect your screen. When the case is closed you still have access to the L/R buttons, power/hold button, the DC in (charger) and video/audio out ports. So you can charge the PSP while it is in the case and closed as well as start a UMD video, hook it up to your TV with the appropriate cables, close the case and enjoy UMD video on your TV. A minor problem is the USB connection... while they cut the plastic out for the USB connector the plastic is simply too thick to allow the USB cable to fully connect into the PSP while it is in the case.

On a side note, I have the leather strap on my PSP that came with the PSP Pouch and this Case does leave room for that to stick out while still attached so it won't be a problem if you have anything attached to that loop on the bottom left-hand side of the PSP next to the video/audio port.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great case with some minor flaws, June 5, 2008

This review is from: PSP Traveler Case (Video Game)

I bought this case after a few scary moments of dropping my PSP to better protect my gaming device. This case obviously takes care of my main reason for my purchase.

I would like to note a few gripes I have with it. Generally speaking, you may access all of the commonly used buttons and switches on the PSP 2000 without removing your PSP. It goes without saying in my mind that you have to take the PSP out to change what UMD is in it. However, the WLAN switch is very difficult to move while in the case, and the Power switch is a little tough to get at with larger fingers.

Another note is that while you can store 2 games and two MS Pro Duo sticks in the case, the makeup of that portion of the case is a little softer than I'd prefer. I like to feel a little 'click' or something as I put these in which is nonexistent. This causes me to be a little wary of having these stored while the cover is flopping around and I'm gaming. I haven't had anything fall out as of yet, but I haven't had a situation of horrible frustration yet either that may cause me to shake my PSP (I'm sorry, but that's my reaction to those moments).

The only other note is that the case is a little thick for some people's tastes. It works out OK for me, but don't expect to be sliding this in your pocket easily. This is a necessity for the protection and storage provided.

Overall, the case does what I want it to do with some minor flaws.
