Pros
I can't say enough good things about the CoreCase. It has a neoprene lining on the inside of the case to protect the PSP. It allows access to all functions while in the case except the UMD door. There are little cutouts for the bottom speaker holes, and a cut out that allows you to open the memory stick slot and replace the stick while in the case. The shoulder buttons are also usable while the case is closed. Another thing I like about the case better than the PGP is that it uses a small magnet to hold the lid open for use as a stand. My PGP's hinge has loosened over time and won't stand up anymore.
It is also a lot thinner than the PGP making it easier to carry in your pocket. Unlike the PGP the Corecase can store two memory sticks inside the lid. And don't worry about them scratching your screen because the lid is slightly convex so that the memory sticks are raised above the screen. Another thing you may not notice from the pictures is that there is a little loop built into the aluminum on the back so you can attach a hand or neck strap directly to the case.
Cons
The only con I can think of is that the magnet is maybe a little too weak. I stronger magnet would have helped the PSP stand up easier, however it's not a big deal. As long as you aren't moving it around a lot the magnet will have no problem holding the PSP up, and it will never wear out.
Last words
What makes this such a great case is that it's only $14.99. Shipping is $5 so that puts it at exacltly the price of the PGP and about half the price of the Capdase Lux, making this case one hell of a deal.

Did you know that if magnets get too close to electronics, that it could delete the memory?

"GTASouthPark" said: "Did you know that if magnets get too close to electronics, that it could delete the memory?" not this kind of memory. this uses flash memory, which isnt affected by magnetic fields, so its okay.

I don't know, the case doesn't look as sturdy as the PGP, but it looks well enough to handle very, very short drops.

It's perfect for what I use it for. I wouldn't expect it to hold up to some of the punishment the PGP can take, but it's still a sturdy case, and it's not nearly as bulky as the PGP. I carry it in my pocket and in my backpack and it protects my PSP from getting banged around it my bag.
