Look for it on ebay. I bought mine for about $7 including shipping. Comes with a larger anolog, perfect for those sports games. I think for $7 usd you can't go wrong.
I ordered this along with my Brando Ultra Clear Screen Protector, just as a backup, in case the screen protector install got horribly messed up. Since this is easy (3 seconds) to install, I put it on first, just to see what it is like. Well, while it is easy to install, the quality is just not good.
First of all, mine already had some scratches when I took it out of the packaging. Since the whole thing is plastic, it is very easy to scratch. I am not sure how mine got scratched, but there they were. Second, the image quality is not great. It isn't horrible if you aren't picky, but it is a big jump (or drop) from looking at the Crystal clear screen of the naked PSP.
Furthermore, the alignment isn't perfect, so with the protector screwed on, the edges of the protector's screen window doesn't line up perfectly with the PSP's screen, so you'll get a tiny part of your PSP's screen's edge fuzzed out by this cover. Again, not critical if you aren't picky, but you certainly can see it. Also, in addition to the scratches I had when I took it out of the packaging, there were some sharp edges on the sides of the cover. You could remove them if you sand-papered it a little, but it added to the overall cheapness of the product.
So to summarize
• Installation: 10/10, easy, no brainer, just screw it in
• Clarity: 6/10
• Obstrusiveness: 7/10 (it wasn't as bad, ie, thick, as I though it would be)
• Quality: 6/10
• Protection: not sure, didn't leave it on long enough to find out
I got this thinking it would serve it's purpose. The top screws don't line up right which pushes the cover to one side slightly. The joystick replacement was awkward as it didn't flow right. If you desperate, get it. There are better options out there
I currently have the Naki world version of the Crystal Case. I think that it works very well in possible high scratch areas. I work at a video game store and since sony has no display models I sometimes let (responsible) people try out my PSP. In low light conditions it is excellent, but since it has no anti-glare treatment it is hard to us in well lit milti light areas. The one I got had small fabrication scratches, which are annoying, but the protection factor for the screen is excellent.
If protecting that scrach senstive screen on your PSP is as important to you and you don't want to deal with applying those "sticky" screen protectors, which can be time consuming to apply, then this is the next best thing, if not better.
It installs quickly and protects the screen and the front of the PSP. The screen quality is not comprised whatsoever. My only complaint is that dust can acumlate under the screen and you have to remove it once in while to clean it. Other than that is a cheap and hassle free way to protect my PSP.
