| Summary: Pretty happy
75
I rushed out and bought one too, and I think I'm pretty happy with it, but there are a few things I'd like to complain about. First of all, I read on this board and other places that the viewing angle was "adjustable". One site even said specifically that it had "five adjustable viewing angles". This is totally false. There is only one position. So this was a disappointment. In the manual it even says (as if we're all idiots) "if you want to adjust the viewing angle, move the entire unit closer to you or further away from you"!! Can you believe that?!?!
The second thing is, on the outside front of the case there are two places for the cords to attach, on the left for headphones, and on the right for the power cords. These have junky plastic covers over them that are attached by a short tether so that you cannot remove them fully (similar, but worse than the cover on the PSP that shields the memory stick). These are terrible because they don't snap into place at all, so they are always sort of hanging there, looking ugly. Very poor design in that regard. Those are my two basic complaints. I also didn't really care for the sound quality you get through the speakers. It seems too sound great for games, but I'm not going to be playing games while the PSP is in the case, as it's not comfortable to do so. I would just use the speakers for watching movies, and when I did so, even though it was loud enough, the levels seemed imperfect. The voices of the actors seemed much lower than the rest of the audio, so that it was hard to understand what people were saying. For this reason, I might never end up using the speakers, and so that part of it was a waste of money for me.
I do like the case overall though. Perhaps I'm just telling myself that so that I'll feel better about paying $80.00 for a case, but it is a sturdy thing that should protect the PSP. And even though the viewing angle is not adjustable, it is good to have something that props up the PSP so I can watch movies, without having to carry around a separate PSP stand, which definitely would take up more space. And the battery life extension aspect of it is definitely worth some bucks, since it really gives it a lot more hours. If I could have made the case myself, I would have made room for a couple of games and a few memory sticks. That would have been great.
