Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Black Hand Grip Shell Controller Protective Case for Sony Playstation PS Vita 1000, with L2 R2 Triggers by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Inconvenient if you have a screen protector (updated)

PROS: Much more convenient than no L2/R2 triggers are a must for PSone games and remote play on PS3/PS4 - Looks great of the system - All connections are easily accessible. CONS: - Will NOT fully close if you have a front/back/both screen protector. Only the side latches work. I haven't had it long enough to say if it's good enough and will last. It seems secure enough, but if it doesn't work I'll update it. The trigger buttons are very "furry". You have great mileage. But they work. It just takes some getting used to. While it's nice that it's not too bulky, it feels very flimsy and fragile. It's thick where it shouldn't be. The Home, Start, and Select buttons are pushed back too far. Still there, but a bit annoying. Especially with the Start/Select buttons. The home button is more bearable because it's bigger. Due to the handles and release buttons, this roughly doubles the thickness of the Vita, again making it impossible to use a standard holdall. Got to use the Mumba hard case that was made for the Nintendo Switch, a few extra joycons, etc. SUMMARY: Fine if you have a screen protector, but much better if you don't. It should also be cheaper. For example, only 15 dollars. I've attached enough photos to help you decide as this list doesn't even show the trigger buttons and someone answered the question wrong by saying it goes with a protective glass. UPDATE: Added some pictures. Turns out you can cover it completely with a protective film, but it takes a fair amount of effort to do so. I said my goodness, thinking the brittle plastic would break, but I closed it. You can see how it hardly stays closed. But it's been in use for a few days and it hasn't broken (yet?), so I thought I'd update that. In other words, it may or may not break if you close it all the way.
