 Not compatible with psp 2000 October 5, 2007
J. Garcia (Brooklyn, NY United States)
17 out of 20 found this review helpful
The openings do not allow access to the headphone jack. Meaning if you wanted to use headphones with this case you would have to take the psp out. Kinda defeats the purpose. Also the switch for wifi in the psp 2000 is on top and there is no access hole for that either. Functional only for old psp edition.
 Good, stylish protection July 12, 2005

Several other people already touched on some of the aspects of the PlayGear Pocket for PSP, so I'll try to add a few details.
The PlayGear Pocket is made of a tough, highly-polished transparent material. The inside of the case is lined with black rubberized padding. The effect is visually beautiful. The sleek high-tech black look, encased in an almost-glass-quality shell is just stunning.
The PSP is held quite securely in it. The lid is hinged and opened by pressing on the panel on the front. The lid can swing all the way back so that the unit can "stand" to make it easier to watch movies or video. It's a very nice design!
Now for the negatives.
1) The case itself, while lightweight, still adds some weight and size to the unit. This is not really a bad thing since any kind of case offering any kind of real protection would do the same (there's no way around that). Since there's a noticeable size and weight increase while the PSP is in the case, it definitely becomes a bit more unweildy to operate the PSP while it's in the case, possibly increasing the chance to drop the unit. I'm not saying it's uncomfortable to operate the unit, just that it's larger and heavier and not nearly as ergonomic to use.
2) Yes, you can operate the PSP while it's in the case. But unlike some of the other reviews here would suggest, your system isn't really "protected" if you're operating it while the lid is open (and outside of playing music, anything you do would require the lid to be open). While it's a secure, snug fit, nothing actually "holds" the PSP in the case. If you're playing a game and drop it, since the lid is open, the PSP can very easily pop out upon impact. In that regard, one of the rubberized slipcovers that are available may offer better protection.
3) I haven't had the unit for very long, but I imagine over time the beautiful clear finish will get marred with minor scratches and scuffs. Such is the price to pay for something so stylish though.
4) Since it only acts as a very stylish, rugged cover, it has no capability of allowing you to carry games, the charger, headphones, or any other peripherals.
In spite of the negatives, the case is quite wonderful. It's an incredibly stylish and attractive way to store your PSP. It's perfect for keeping your PSP protected while it's not in use (it looks great even when it's just laying around!), and a great way to transport your PSP. Don't mistake it for one of the rubberized slipcovers that protects it while in use. Instead, think of it as an incredibly well-designed cross between a carrying case and a protection slipcover.
I have no regrets at all over buying it.

 NOT FOR PSP SLIM! BUT>........ January 4, 2008

This case is NOT for the psp slim... But for anyone that is going to or already has the case, you can make adjustments for it psp to fit. When I got
the case I thought that the thing would never fit...But I was wrong, If you put some Styrofoam at the bottom of the case, that way the psp will be lifted so it won't jiggle around so much. Next I used my drill on the side so the ear buds would fit in the hole.
Another thing I hate is the edge on the left side, so I sanded it down.
It's to big too, but it makes you feel like you have something(for only psp slims).
If you have it and want to send it back, it costs more for for shipping then what you payed for.
I only rate this item for 3 stars because it would be great with the core.
IF YOU HAVE A SLIM, DO NOT GET THIS ITEM!

I love this PSP protector. It's sweet looking right from the package Great protection for your PSP and you can customize it by placing pictures behind the rubber padding. You can go to http://www.modmypsp.com to download images to put into your Playgear pocket. I reccommend going to kinkos with these and getting them to print up a few of them on high quailty photo paper, they even cut them out for you.
