| Summary: Fantastic design, very sturdy, weighs almost nothing
99
I've been shopping for a good PSP case for months. I have several requirements.
• Must strong but not heavy
• Must be protective but not bulky
• Need only hold the PSP (no UMDs or MS)
After visiting this site and many others, reading countless reviews, looking at photos online, and examing cases in person, I chose the Capdase Luxury. I was a bit nervous, not having actually touched one, but was able to find it online for only $17.99, so it was worth the gamble. I am thrilled with this case. It meets all my requirements, and then some.
It is very light. The back of the case is a velvety plastic, and is very strong and light. The PSP snaps into it firmly, but it can be removed without difficulty. You won't need to remove it though, because the only feature of the PSP not accessible while in the case is the battery. The front is anodized aluminum, and extremely strong. It closes securely around the PSP, yet leaves all the important controls available. It has a thin layer of dense foam on the inside to protect the buttons and screen.
It adds about 2mm to each dimension, so it still fits in a large pocket. In fact, with a little push, it still fits in the original Sony sleeve! Try that with the Logitech Playgear Giganto-Case! The door that opens on the back to allow access to the UMD works perfectly, and snaps closed nicely. It also forms the base for the movie-watching stand.
My only gripes are very minor. The MS cutouts in the underside of the lid do not hold the MS securely. They should just remove them. Also, in one or two places, the edges of the plastic where it joins to the lid are sharper than I would like. It is easily fixed with a bit of sandpaper or an exacto knife.
Overall, I think this is a superb case, with very thoughtful design and excellent manufacturing. For $17.99 it is a steal.
