The PSP should almost have been made with it. I know a lot of you will be thinking "But if I get this, how can it still be called a Potable Playstation?" Well, yes it will be less portable, but it's still worth it.

My gameplay has actually improved because my hands don't cramp up as much. It's actually feels a lot like the PS2 controller. Even when it's attached, it will feel almost the same. The handles are thicker that the PS2 controller but it still feels great in your hands. It has a rechargeable external battery in the handle. Extra battery life, yay.

You really won't need the strap anymore. You can leave it on with no problems. I used mine to hold on to when playing a game. I don't need it anymore. You can slide it open and closed, but the arms that hold the PSP in is what obstructs its portability. It should have been made with arms that you can fold in. Then you could put in in your pocket.

It doesn't feel very sturdy but it won't break if you "get into" your games. It will last for some time. It does block a lot of the headphone tips. If you have headphone with a head that doesn't look like a "L", it won't fit.

It's very easy to put in but a little tricky to take out. Here's a tip: to take out your PSP, take your 2 index finger and push the back of the PSP. At the same time, carefully lift the 2 arms with your thumb. It will pop out with no problem. I have to mention again that the arms DO NOT bend, so be careful.

In order to change disks, you have to take it off. Yes, it's a bit of a pain but worth it.

It will take some time to get used to. You will kind of have to learn the controller again but it will only take a half an hour or so to get right back where you were. But it will make a world of difference in your gameplay. Game are just easier to play with it.
