The main reason why I love PSP411 is that when I bought an iPod a year ago, I bought lots of accesories for it, most of which ended up to be rubbish and are now lying around the house. Thanks to the site, I haven't made the same mistake with my PSP. However, seeing as this case hadn't been reviewed by anyone I decided to go out and buy one so I could rate it.

I live in the UK and ordered it from Lik Sang and it arrived about 10 days later, setting me back 10 pounds/18 dollars though most of this was due to the extravagant overseas shipping. The first thing I noticed about the case is that it is similar in shape to the official PSP case, in fact it is very similar indeed. The main difference is that it is slightly looser. I think that this is a better fit. It has a velcro flap though it is very secure. When putting my PSP into the case and then taking it out, I found that it didn't attract dust. The case also has two MEmory Stick Duo slots in the inner lining of the case.

The material for the case is very soft, softer than the official case but it is also much thicker and is padded, so while it won't challenge any hard cases for protection, it is as strong as you need for a soft case.

Thats all I can say really. I ordered the case before I bought my PSP as I wanted both to arrive at the same time (and they did). The main reaosn I did so was because I heard that the official case was poor, but I disagree and think that the official case is more than adequate. The pouch is basically a slightly better version of the official case so my advice is simply that if you're happy with the official case then keep it, if you want a stronger case, then buy a hard case, but if you want a better looking safer case, then get this.

Pros
• Looks good in black and white (I don't know about orange).
• Holds two MS Duos.
• Softer than official case but more padded.
• Has flap to make sure PSP doesn't fall out.

Cons
• Flap is velcro not a lock, I personally don't see a problem here but people have voiced concerns.
• No UMD storage.
• Is essentially a slightly more extarvagant version of the official case.

Good review dude. Personally, I've been waiting for someone to review this so that I can decide whether to get this or not, BTW, does it have any holes for headphones to go thru or something?? I usually carry my psp in the playgear pocket & just slip into my jeans pocket, but its just too damn heavy!!! Thanks to you now, I shall go out & buy me this product...muahahahahaha...I think I ate to much candy today....

The PSP in this case will slide into a pocket fine, and as for headphones, you just flip the PSP around so that the headphone jack is at the top. I'll write a review when I'm not so lazy...er....busy with work.

Thankyou foir the kind feedback guys.
In answer to ur question, just like the official pouch the psp is slightly less covered and wriststrap holder point exposing the headphone slot. The pouch flap covers all of the psp but leaves a space for this so yes, you can listen through headphones with the psp in the case. I normally put my psp in the case in my bag but it feels quite comfy in my pcoket.
Just so you know ^^
