Review on PlayStation Vita Card Case by Jorge Eckstein

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great bag for carrying games!

If, like me, you've decided to take the Vita "physical play" route (as opposed to downloading digital games), you probably already know what to take with you. Some cases, such as Some things like the PlayStation Vita travel case have "pocket" for Vita playing cards, but the problem is that they don't feel completely secure. Basically, it's a fabric slot designed for a gaming trolley. Given the cost of these games, I just don't feel comfortable having a few of these games in an open bag, so I took a closer look at this card case. Let me just say it looks stylish. It's a translucent smoky gray case with a nice shiny PSVITA logo on the top. The case feels solid and feels like it could take a little pressure without cracking. When closed, the suitcase closes tightly (the problem with many of these types of suitcases is that they're easy to open when you least want to - like in a bag, forcing you to dig for the contents). the "push" button to unlock it (it can be opened by force, but it's not that easy). Unfortunately, the weak part seems to be the "spine" that holds the body together. a system of parts (top and bottom) each of which has its edges connected together - however in the Vita case 3 parts are used - the top, the bottom and the "spine" part connecting them. The problem is that the spine can break if the seams come loose from repeated flexing (e.g. opening/closing the suitcase). I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon, but it looks like something to keep an eye on. Inside the case there are 2 sides (top and bottom) - each with 4 carts for games and 1 memory card (total 8 games, 2 memory cards). lighter than PS Vita game cases but strong enough not to fall out by itself). The 2 card slots might be a bit more than necessary (unless you only use smaller cards), but considering they take up little space, it's nice to have. The case size really worries me. around. That's pretty much 1/2 the size of a PS Vita case (look at the front case cover of a Vita game, think of it as "left side" and "right side" and you can get the idea make from actual size ). Same thickness, height and only half the width. This is great as it fits perfectly in the extra PlayStation Vita travel case. 8 carts are a good size (some of the "Holds 32 games!" cases seem a bit over the top), even the 12 game cases are a bit bulky when not used for permanent storage. The price is great too, just over $5. At first I was hesitant to take it because of the price (I thought it was TOO cheap to be decent). When I received it I was tempted to get a few more. If you have multiple Vita memory cards, this is also necessary as they do not have their own carrying case and can easily be lost. Highly recommended!
