5.0 out of 5 stars Great Case For Your PSP3000, September 9, 2009

This review is from: PSP Clear Skin Case (Electronics)

I just bought a new PSP3000 and I wanted something to protect it since the PSP is not exactly known for being easy to keep clean and new. I tentatively bought this case since it was so cheap and am extremely happy with my decision.

The case is made of silicon so it is very soft and feels very good in your hands when you're playing on the PSP. It keeps all the dust and fingerprints off of the PSP, which attracts them constantly. The case itself also does not retain fingerprints and dust doesn't stick to it either. There are holes for almost all buttons, input jacks, and whatnot so that 99% of the time you never need to remove the case if you want to change your memory stick, charge your PSP, connect it to something else, and so on. I will mention the exceptions later. The case also has a cover over the UMD part of the PSP with 2 little tabs that are easy to remove and apply when you have to change games. So the whole PSP is protected. The case is white but a little bit see-through. It is kind of translucent, so on a black PSP it will look kind of gray. Take a look at the pictures I uploaded for reference.

The case covers all the front buttons right below the screen, which include the PSP, volume, display, sound, SELECT, and START buttons. However, you'll have no problem accessing the buttons with the case on top of them because there are groves on the case where the buttons are supposed to be. It's just a matter of knowing which button is where, and most PSP owners already know the buttons by heart. The case doesn't have a function that lets you change batteries without taking out the case, so if you're on a long trip and need to pop in that extra battery pack, it will take a little more work of removing the case first and putting it back on afterwards. There are 2 slight gaps between the UMD cover of the case and the rest of the case, but that's better than having no cover over the UMD part of the PSP. I'm not sure how much protection the case will give you when it comes to dropping it, but neither am I sure how much protection a hardcase will give you, not to mention that hardcases are much bulkier than the silicon case. Also a screen is not a part of the case so there is no protection for your screen, but for me that was a plus because in my experience cases with a screen as a part of it, usually did a poor job on the screen part. I recommend you get this case and a screen protector. The one from Hori, a company, is good.

Pro:
- soft and comfortable in hands
- keeps dust, fingerprints, etc off PSP and case
- full PSP protection except screen
- fully functional PSP with case on
- will look gray on a black PSP (could be a con if you don't like it, look at my pictures)
- less bulky than a hardcase

Con:
- covers the front buttons but doesn't hinder their usage
- covers the battery part which requires the case to be taken off to change batteries
- might or might not give protection against drops (I never tried or want to try dropping my PSP)
- has no screen (this is a pro for me since I prefer getting screen protectors rather than cases with screens)

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the one in the picture! (sold by Crazy on Digital), September 15, 2010

Is not a bad product for the price, but i got it based on the picture shown, not for the low price. The back is not open as shown, for changing umds the cover has to be taken off the PSP.
I even asked them if the product was the same as the picture and they flat out lied to me saying it was.

I posted some pictures under the costumer pictures link, so that you can see exactly what you are paying for

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as pictured, September 4, 2010

The product shown on this page is not what I received. I know it was cheap, but you order something because that is what you want and when you get something else it's pretty annoying. The directional and action buttons are covered on the one I got and there is NO umd access. I love that in the pictures they have one with a special note about the nodules that go into the holes above the umd drive to secure it, when there are in fact, no such things and the drive is completely sealed. If you're wanting what's in the picture, that's not what you're going to get.
