So, after much hassling and continually searching ebgames.com and gamestop.com, I finally found a store that had one in stock. I immediately rushed out to get it and I gotta say... Wow.
The first thing you'll notice is how it looks. A LOT of "plastic" with a black inner core that says "Logitech" on it very cleanly. It's not very gaudy at all. On the back/bottom, it's the same except there's a hole in the back to show off the PSP logo. The PSP fits onto the bottom with a little bit of movement, but it settles in very well and you don't notice any movement when you're playing the PSP. The inside is lined with this, umm, black stuff that is very soft to the touch and doesn't feel capable of scratching the PSP at all. The lid closes very tightly and you can fit a cleaning cloth on top of the screen when it is closed with no problem. The first thing I did when I closed the case with the PSP in it was to shake it as violently as I could to see if I could hear a rattle. To my enjoyment, I couldn't hear a thing as I was shaking it and it felt very secure.
The lid is held in position with this plastic hinge system and it looks to be very well made and secure. It stays exactly where you open it, and it blocks the sun very well. The lid functions as a stand for the case as well, since you can move the lid a full 270 degrees around. I only tested the case as a stand for 5 minutes, but it seems to work very well and I hope to get my 1 Gig stick so I can watch some of my own movies with it.
The case has cutouts for the trigger buttons, the power button/charger port, and the WiFi button/headphone port/lanyard hole. This allows you to play the PSP while it's in the case very easily. The one problem I have noticed with this is that the case WITH the PSP is a little heavy, so some extended gaming may wear your arms down after a while. I haven't noticed any dust get on the PSP that I didn't get from my previous case, so it appears to block out the dust very well.
The ONE problem that I really have with this case (and I believe other reviews have touched on this as well) is that the button to open the case is a little tricky to work. You have to press the button and then grab on to the sides around the button to open the lid. It's not a big deal and I do enjoy that the case isn't super easy to pop open, especially since the PSP isn't going to be secured to the case with like tape or velcro or something like that.
All in all, I absolutely love this case. It's most definitely the best case you can get a store right now, and you won't be disappointed. It looks great, feels extremely durable, and I have the utmost confidence that my PSP is secure inside.
I would recomened the Intec metal case. It might not be as portable, but it gets the job done.(and it's only $10)
For the stand, hello the Penny stand!
I'm glad I'm able to help you out with your decision on your logitech purchase, patron921. It is truly an awesome case. That SouthPark episode is truly funny.
Hey avenman, check out the link below. I took some pictures of my logitech case. If you take a look at the pictures and can honestly tell me you don't want the logitech over the Intec metal case, I'll go on a PSP strike and not play tonight .
I pre-order my case on jandr.com.....great case !! and quick shipping from them....I got 3 days after it came out....I didn't want to go through the hassle of dealing with out of stocks at EBGAMES. ..The link to jandr.com is below
