| Summary: I got the Ambition case last week and can say that
93
I got the Ambition case last week and can say that it is by far a better case than Logitech's Playgear Pocket crap (which I tried before this - waste of money). I have also tried the AirForm Pocket and Aero Case whice are also nice and inexpensive but bulky.
The Ambition case is very solid and well made - the PSP feels very protected and is far slimmer than Logotech even though there's room for two UMDs in the lid.
Also don't worry about the UMDs being on top of the screen - the UMDs are placed solid in the two inserts and don't touch the screen at all - and it isn't likely that they will touch the screen even with pressure on top. The case lid seems very solid and well shaped to withstand pressure.
Another great feature which makes the Ambition far better that Playgear pocket is that the PSP is held firmly in place by two foam rubber pads on the sides of the case - so the PSP doesen't fall out when the case is opened (unlike the Playgear case). And while the PSP is held down firmly in the case, it's still pretty easy to remove when swapping UMDs.
• Slim design (far slimmer than Playgear Pocket) doesn't make the PSP bulky like many other cases
• PSP held into place - doesn't fall out by accident
• PSP easily playable in case (I actually prefer this since the case makes the PSP a bit more comfortable to hold)
• Power and headset ports not covered by the case
• The two USD "slots" are a great idea and feels safe and secure for the screen
• Quick to open and secure when closed - no zipper-close
• Nice overall look and feel - feels expensive and hand made - NICE!
• Two small slots for memorystick duo cards under the PSP
• USB slot covered when closed (no real problem)
• PSP must be removed from case to change UMD (again no big problem since the PSP is easily removed and replaced)
• Maybe not enough room in the opening for a handstrap - haven't tried this though
• Expensive - this is no cheap plastic crap!
If you a looking for a slim case which doesn't make the PSP bulky, and have room for a few UMD's - the Ambition case is the way to go! But if you are looking for a closed case whick holds more UMDs, headset, cleaning-cloth, etc., and don't care for the extra bulkyness, go for a bigger case/bag like the Aero Case which is cheap and pretty nice also

This case seems to be better than the Logitech, but the Logitech is the only case that can be made to a movie stand. If this case had that feature I would buy it in a minute. Especially with the slimmer design...Logitech makes it too heavy and bulky but it is no big problem.

Logitech is NOT the only case that can be used as a movie stand (why do people think that?). The PDair and Brando metal cases have this feature and so does the new leather I-Volution case. There are a few others out there too. Click "accessories" at the top of this page to see all the cases.
The metal case in basic aluminum (also comes in black) can be had for $13.95 w/free shipping, so it's even cheaper than the logitech, has all the same basic features and is lighter and less bulky. See my post here: linkedited: Jun 24 2005
