I've had this case for 2 weeks, and if anything impresses me more than surviving a 5ft drop off the bartop, I'll start singing songs about the Logitech PlayGear Pocket.
Being a bicycle commuter in the unfriendly city of Houston, I gravitate towards messenger grade, armor plated, ballistic products, but I dance on that line where portability and bulk are not too severely compromised. If the LPGP were not so damned tough, I couldn't love such a porker. It stows easily into my messenger bag and the open port for my headphones makes it easy to listen to MP3s while I ride.
The flip top does nothing to block the sun, but it serves wonderfully holding up my PSP at work on those unauthorized slack breaks or in my lap while my girlie and I watch a MP4 in bed.
There are lots of cool skins and templates online if you want to customize your LPGP. Simply slip your chosen skin between the high density rubber lining and the polycarbonate shell of your LPGP. (Read: high density rubber and polycarbonate shell = bombproof.)
Some complain about the PSP falling out of this case while open. If you know you're a klutz and a hamfist, use the freakin' wrist strap. The cutouts in the LPGP allow you to keep the strap attatched to your PSP, so there's no excuse not to. I write from experience here. Others complain about limited access to the UMD slot. I just accept that this case is more about protection from point A to point B. Others, still not happy with the fact that their PSP is safely coddled away in armorplate, wish for storage space. I might give that one to them if this case couldn't fit into travel bags made for the PSP.
My only real gripe is this: while the cutouts for shoulder buttons, power switch, wifi switch, and headphone jack are convenient and well made, they don't do anything to keep out potentially damaging dust and dirt. I try to make sure there's no lint or dirt in my bag or pocket and have applied a screen protector in hopes to stave off the inevitable scratches to my PSP's super glossy surface. I'll probably apply a Evolution Vinyl Skin to cover everything else, and my one mark against the LPGP may be erased.
I strongly recommend the Logitech PlayGear Pocket case to any PSP owner. It's not a question of if you'll drop it, but when, and all the other slim profile and faceplate protectors will only leave you in tears. There's enough aftermarket accessories out there to address the minor design setback to an otherwise perfect embrace.
