| Summary: THE BEST!!!!!

By now, you'd have read many reviews on Logitech's PlayGear Pocket, so I'll try to keep this short. With $20 to spare, you'll find that this offering from Logitech is perhaps the best that you can find in a sea of PSP protection cases released by several companies.
The key selling point of the PlayGear Pocket is its functionality. When you buy a case to protect something, the attribute that most concerns you would be how well it actually protects. The PlayGear Pocket does this well. Made of clear polycarbonate, the case looks, and most importantly, feels tough. The inner walls of the case are clothed in rubber, providing a firm grip that holds your console nicely in place. If you're justifying your purchase soley in terms of its ability to offer protection, it's pretty obvious that the PlayGear Pocket will serve your requirement. The case also has several cut-outs that allow you to access the "L" and "R" buttons, the power and WI-FI switches, and the earphones and charger jacks at the four corners of your PSP. This means that you can essentially use your PSP without removing it from the case. That's pretty useful, I think. But yet, the PlayGear Pocket is more than just that.
Still on the area of functionality, the PlayGear Pocket also provides good value by providing a makeshift visor and transforming into a cradle for holding your PSP. These are made possible with a friction hinge, which allows the cover of the case to stay in place in any angle up to 270 degrees. Lifting the cover up slightly allows it to filter off glare, and pushing it all the way back turns the case into a stand, which is ideal for purposes such as movie-watching. Now, that sounds like some good multi-tasking.
Apart from satisfying your need for functionality, the PlayGear Pocket is also nicely designed. Despite having a thick outer layer, the case is designed to fit the shape of your PSP, making the size of it is just slightly bigger than the console itself. This will please buyers who want a cool-looking case without too much excess baggage. The combination of clear plastic and black rubber also makes the PlayGear Pocket appears sleek and stylish. If you're easily appealed by appearance, you'll fall in love with this product. What's more? The case is also customizable, so you can even make your own skin for the cover. This should please gamers who prefer to have their own unique identity.
The down side of the PlayGear Pocket is obviously its weight. It adds considerable package to an already heavy PSP, making it quite like holding a brick at times. Also, despite allowing access to your buttons and switches, the design of the case also means that it's impossible to attach a USB cable from your computer to your PSP when it's in the case. These are not major issues though, and should not be seen as forms of deterrence.
So, eventually, I didn't manage to keep this short. Nevertheless, I hope that I've done enough to impress you to get this product. The PlayGear Pocket is streets ahead of most, if not all its competitor, and having it with allows you to finally kiss the dodgy sleeve that came with your PSP Value Pack goodbye. It didn't take me a long time to buy this, and I think you should too.

except this one LOL
"the case looks, and most importantly, feels tough"
my only concern is that it adds weight. My arms begin to fall asleep if i am resting my elbows in a chair while playing after about an hour, and adding more weight would make it worse.
