Video Game Reviews of PSP Traveler Case
Customer Review: My two big bits on the case:
Summary: 4 Stars
Overall, I think this case tries to do a lot compared to the other cases I've seen on the market. So you really can't fault some one for that effort. Given the features, I can see why this case is so thick. What I still can't figure out is why Sony felt the need to include UMD and MS storage if the PSP is going to be locked down with the lens? There's a UMD travelers case on the market already and furthermore most PSP owners have more than two UMD's. Therefore, I don't see the need for this. I can imagine removing this extra storage would slim down the case substantially.
The thick lens that goes over the screen is VERY thick...~1/8". It looks like the lens you see on the store sample PSP. The benefits of this are that it keeps my fingers off the screen when I am frantically smashing the square button, and off the Home button should I press it accidentally. Secondly, the screen seems to magnify the image a bit. The image also seems somewhat sharper....can't put my finger on it yet. The USB port is virtually inaccessible. There's a hole cut out to access the port, but the hole is almost the same size as the port itself. Most USB plugs come with some form of casing and this is exactly what will prevent access to the port.
The Thicker Case makes the PSP much more comfortable to hold. The diminutive size of the PSP cramped my hands after hours of gaming. This also has the benefit of preventing accidentally rubbing up against the PSP power switch while gaming. On the other hand, with the case closed, turning the PSP off/on is almost impossible. The thicker case somewhat ineffectively attempts to guard the shoulder buttons against bumps with raised portion, but this also makes the buttons harder to reach. The shoulder buttons still protrude very slightly (~1/16") when pressed down. The case has to be opened to access the USB port (that is, if you can get to it). The back of the case resembles the PSP1000 with two rubber grips attached, keeping it from sliding around on smooth surfaces. At the bottom of the case where the clasps locks the case close, there is a cable channel to allow the unusual skype headset (or TV plug) configuration / cable to run across against the unit. The case also has plastic extensions /guards that will provide some protection for the plug against minor bumps or potential cuts. Finally, the locking clasp relies on two small hooks to keep the case closed. The button to unlock the case is almost flush against the case to prevent accidental bumps releasing the hooks.
The rubber-like inlay seems soft enough to take some minor bumps....but I am not sure about a drop from the table. Given the thick inlay, when the case is closed with all the compartments full the UMD is pressed up against the thick lens, which I'm not sure is a good idea. This inlay seems to be made with the same material as the soft rubber grips I mentioned.
The loose Double Hinge does not help keep the PSP stay upright. The texture and material of the surface has to be just right for the rubber feet to grip, and hold the angle shown in the pics above. However, the hinge seems bulky enough to sustain extensive use.
UMD and Memory stick slots are inaccessible when the PSP is locked into the case with the lens.
Assemblage of the case seems to be accomplished with snap-on joints. This means all the parts and pieces of the case can be separated with some force. This allows customizability, but it also means the whole thing could come apart easier on a collision.
