Review on ๐ŸŽฎ PSP Travel Case by Will Kern

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice case for Sony PSP

I've bought polycarbonate cases for Logitech and Sony. While I love the idea of an additional polycarbonate screen protector (well designed to sit right over the PSP screen so you don't touch it directly), holders for 2 UMDs and 2 memory cards and strategically placed rubber bumpers, I have to say , which IMO wins the Logitech case on the nose. The Sony case really holds the PSP tighter, and with the screen protector attached, it won't let the PSP fall out. For some people, this can be the deciding factor. However, my issue with the screen protector is that it is too difficult to separate from the PSP cover (essentially you have to press the latch, but the case is so "fitting" that there is no extra room for the PSP) . move to release the latch). This makes replacing the UMD much more difficult as in none of these cases can you do it without removing the PSP from the case. The headphone jack on the Sony body is a bit out of place (too high). Unfortunately, this results in you having to lift the PSP slightly inside the case, causing the PSP's screen to make contact with the polycarbonate protective film (a scratch just waiting to be revealed). It's possible that my case is a bit faulty and others haven't had this issue, but since I did, that should be part of my review. All in all, I definitely find the Sony PSP Travel Case worthy, and if you don't change the UMD often, I find it very similar to the Logitech case. However, the difficulties in peeling off the screen protector and the problems with opening the headphone jack make the Sony case my second choice for my PSP.
