Logitech is without a doubt one of the most popular PSP accessory manufacturers on the market. There is a strong focus on using great materials and not cutting corners. The Playgear Street, a unique messenger-style bag/case, is no exception. Capable of holding 3 UMD's, 4 Memory Sticks and your PSP, this isn't your typical case.
The first thing you'll notice about the Street is its form factor. Slightly longer than a PSP and considerably thicker, the top portion is built from the same clear virtually indestructible polycarbonate 'armor' as the Playgear Pcoetk. Inside, the bottom rubber half holds your PSP and 4 Memory Sticks, while the top plastic portion holds 3 UMD's with a black strap to keep them secured. You can attach an adjustable strap to both sides of the Street, allowing you to wear it messenger-bag style, attached to your backpack or over your shoulder.
Putting in or taking out UMD's and Memory Sticks is a breeze and there's no doubt that your discs and Memory Sticks will be safe and secure. While it may seem like overkill to have storage for 4 Memory Sticks, there is space for it, so why not. And imagine how cool (or proudly geeky) you're going to look opening up this wild-looking case and taking a Memory Stick or UMD movie.
The PSP holding portion is contoured to hold the device very well, both on the bottom and all around. Once shut, there is no rattling or noise when shaking the case. Also, there is slim chance that the button lock will come undone. Finally, there's a nice hole in the case so that you can get your headphones plugged in, allowing you to listen while walking without having to open the case, a great touch.
Whether you choose to wear it over your shoulder, messenger-bag style across your chest or attach it to your backpack (via an included, sturdy carabiner), it's great to have so many options. While all of the carrying options are comfortable and well thought out, the over-the-shoulder style might leave some of you feeling quite awkward (as if you're carrying a purse). Messenger-bag style actually looks and feels quite cool.
One downside, shared by the Playgear Pocket, is the weight. Imagine the Pocket, but bigger and therefore noticeably heavier. But the choice is yours -- do you want a case that's lighter but far flimsier and less protective? Another concern is the plastic ends on the detachable strap. These bits remind us of similar bag straps that have broken easily. Hopefully these aren't as weak, but they certainly feel like it. The actual case is incredibly strong and protective, so it's hard to imagine that anything would actually happen to the contents if the strap were to snap and your case fell.
If you're in the market for a unique, non-bag case, then pick up the Logitech Playgear Street. With incredible protection, storage for 3 UMD's, 4 Memory Sticks and your PSP, it's an all-in-one case that's great for the road.

Forgot to mention (just added it now), there is a little hole in the case for the headphone jack so that you can listen to music while walking. Great design.

FINALLY!!! THE CAPTAIN...HAS REVIEWED!!!!....this product....
+
Looks nicely built, but I'll stick with my Gametech case (one of my reviews)... I can squeeze 12 games into it, and I've dropped it many times without harming my PSP. *12* games (I'd recommend more like 10, since with that tight a packing, you can wind up pushing the clear plastic in on the UMDs if there's any pressure placed on the case itself).
I just can't see any case being functional for me if it carries as few as 3 UMDs.
