I ordered this along with my Brando Ultra Clear Screen Protector, just as a backup, in case the screen protector install got horribly messed up. Since this is easy (3 seconds) to install, I put it on first, just to see what it is like. Well, while it is easy to install, the quality is just not good.
First of all, mine already had some scratches when I took it out of the packaging. Since the whole thing is plastic, it is very easy to scratch. I am not sure how mine got scratched, but there they were. Second, the image quality is not great. It isn't horrible if you aren't picky, but it is a big jump (or drop) from looking at the Crystal clear screen of the naked PSP.
Furthermore, the alignment isn't perfect, so with the protector screwed on, the edges of the protector's screen window doesn't line up perfectly with the PSP's screen, so you'll get a tiny part of your PSP's screen's edge fuzzed out by this cover. Again, not critical if you aren't picky, but you certainly can see it. Also, in addition to the scratches I had when I took it out of the packaging, there were some sharp edges on the sides of the cover. You could remove them if you sand-papered it a little, but it added to the overall cheapness of the product.
So to summarize
• Installation: 10/10, easy, no brainer, just screw it in
• Clarity: 6/10
• Obstrusiveness: 7/10 (it wasn't as bad, ie, thick, as I though it would be)
• Quality: 6/10
• Protection: not sure, didn't leave it on long enough to find out
Well, any screen protector will get scratched. The point is that the protector gets scratched rather than your PSP screen. It is exponentially less costly to replace a $5-10 screen protector than a $300 PSP.
I got mine the day after I got my PSP and that was a while ago. I love mine. Yes the screen gets a bit fuzzy/blurry on the edges but i don't mind. Also, if you screw down the screw on the right side too much then the flip disc wont open. The area around the analog stick is very small but i havent really used that useless thing at all. I got mine in a bundle pack at GameStop for $15 and it came with a UMD 3x holder, a new (but again, useless) analog stick, and a very tough zip up pouch for the psp which can hold an extra 4UMD (great for that stuffed up backpack). Great bargain, but if i paid $15 just for the screen then yeah its not worth it. It does get scratched but thats one less scratch on the screen or the whole front of the psp for that matter. I dont think it gets easily scratched but the scratches that it does have are only visible when theres no light behind the screen protector so in other words, its not visible while playing. I've had mine for awhile and its totally worth it. Just thought i give a different view on this.
