I've only had this case for about one day but I can already tell it's way better then any others I own. It only adds about a millimeter of bulk, its far lighter than the Logitech and way better looking. Sure you can't put an inlay on this, but why would you want to? You can easily play with the PSP in the case without discomfort.
Now for the bad parts. As soon as I took the case out of the box it was shipped in, and placed the PSP in it the case wouldn’t close right. As I closed the case part of the lid scraped the left trigger. I’m not sure if this was a manufacturing defect or what, but I didn’t like it. However it was promptly fixed by me bending the case a little. Next the speakers are covered. Thankfully, my dad works with metal so I used a drill to make two little holes where the speakers are. As you can see from the pictures a lot of the sides of the PSP our exposed, that’s just something you will have to deal with. Finally it sadly can’t be used as a stand to view movies.
Obviously it doesn’t have UMD storage. Then you could have fit a mem stick behind the PSP circle logo thing if they put a pouch. There is something there, but I don’t think it will hold a mem stick. Actually I have no idea what it is or why its there. For the same price as the Logitech case I highly recommend this instead.

It can be quite difficult selecting the right gear for the sexy PSP. Even when you may find a somewhat decent item, there always seem to be even something better right around the corner. Well currently, I think is safe to say that the BoxWave Armor Case is one of the top Of the ;ine of PSP cases, and it's not going to beaten anytime soon.
Overview
Not only is the AC stylish, slick, sturdy, compact, affordable, and functional, but it's efficient as well. First of all, it holds the PSP securely in the case (better than any other case I've used). The AC clamps down tight, making sure it won't open up easily by mistake. When the AC is closed, you can access the major ports/functions of the PSP (Power Switch, Audio, AC port). When open, the AC allows full use of the PSP. You can easily access all the buttons, ports (USB as well), and the nub when the case is open. Also the case is very comfortable, and light, making it barely noticeable while playing and using the PSP.
The case is very compact which makes it easy to carry it anywhere. It is also incredibly sturdy, protecting your PSP fully. To top it off, it can be used as a stand, and sunBlocker (with the upper lid). This case is an all around beauty.
In comparison to the competition
Why I like this case over many other popular cases, is because it easily does everything I need. The Aero Case is okay, but you can't actually play the PSP, inside the case. Also, it's bulky as all hell. The Brando Case, IMO I think is 2nd best, but the design is what holds it back from the top. The ;oose/floppy Lid just gets in the way, and makes it awkward at times to play the PSP.
Then there is the popular Logitech case, that I think is far from perfect. The biggest advantage the Logitech case has, is the custom designs you can add. Still, the damn thing barely holds the PSP in (my PSP fell out twice. It's also very bulky, and blocks access to the USB ports (open, and closed).
The Cons
Okay, I gotta admit this case is not perfect (after using it for awhile), but it still beats out any other current case. The only minor issues that I've notice with this case, is that it does block the audio/sound speakers. Plus, you can't access the USB port while closed, and it blocks the UMD drive. Other than that, this thing is damn near perfect.
Conclusion
As of now, I believe you can do no better than the BoxWave: PSP Armor Case. The Armor Case solves most of the anoying issues I have with other PSP cases, and more. Until I check out the MadCatz Stealth (which is looking sweet), I think this is still the best PSP Case you can get for $20.
