| Summary: Great value, very portable
93
To tell you the truth, I had purchased two other cases before this one and was sorely disappointed by both. The Intec metal hard case was absolutely useless, being unable to hold more than the PSP itself and perhaps a pair of headphones, was a total eyesore, and difficult to carry around. I don't remember the other case I purchased, but there's probably a reason for that minor amnesia.
The Gamestuff case is phenomenal in every way. The PSP is meant to be a portable gaming/media station, and most other cases hinder it in that regard. Either they add a great deal of unnecessary bulk (Intec hard case, Logitech playgear pro) or they don't offer the ability to take anything else along with you. Granted, the Gamestuff case isn't exactly "tiny," but it offers protection for your PSP and the ability to carry oodles of things along with it. At present, I have my PSP (with a PDAir aluminum case protecting it), the charging cables, 4 games, a pair of headphones, and two cleaning cloths in that little wonder. And the entire case is about the size of one that you might use for a digital camera.
The one complaint (if you can even call it that) is that the compartment that actually contains the PSP isn't very padded. The standard neoprene case that comes with the PSP provides great protection (in my opinion) from minor shocks, bumps, and scratches. Because the Gamestuff case is so portable, I wanted something that would offer the same level of protection if I attached the case to the carrying strap of my laptop case or had the case lying in the back seat of my car. I felt that the Gamestuff case was just slightly lacking in that regard. That, coupled with the fact that all of the components in the case fit so snug (with the charging cables sometimes pressing on the PSP screen through the walls of the different compartments) meant that I wanted to have something that would protect it while it was even inside the Gamestuff case. For that, I purchased the Pelican screen protector (which also comes with 4 UMD cases). I think that the two work to create an entirely new PSP from their symbiotic relationship. It's truly wonderful.
For $15, you can get a case that is AMAZINGLY portable, can hold a great deal of equipment, and is easy on the eyes. for another $10, you can score a screen protector that offers your precious PSP protection from just about anything thrown at it. All in all, I'd say that the Gamestuff case is more than worthy to stand on its own, and the extra screen protection is really only for the paranoid (like myself).
Do yourself a favor and buy this case. You'll be able to go anywhere with enough entertainment to last you for days (if not weeks) while freeing you from having to worry about the protection of your $250 baby.
