By now, you'd have read many reviews on Logitech's PlayGear Pocket, so I'll try to keep this short. With $20 to spare, you'll find that this offering from Logitech is perhaps the best that you can find in a sea of PSP protection cases released by several companies.
The key selling point of the PlayGear Pocket is its functionality. When you buy a case to protect something, the attribute that most concerns you would be how well it actually protects. The PlayGear Pocket does this well. Made of clear polycarbonate, the case looks, and most importantly, feels tough. The inner walls of the case are clothed in rubber, providing a firm grip that holds your console nicely in place. If you're justifying your purchase soley in terms of its ability to offer protection, it's pretty obvious that the PlayGear Pocket will serve your requirement. The case also has several cut-outs that allow you to access the "L" and "R" buttons, the power and WI-FI switches, and the earphones and charger jacks at the four corners of your PSP. This means that you can essentially use your PSP without removing it from the case. That's pretty useful, I think. But yet, the PlayGear Pocket is more than just that.
Still on the area of functionality, the PlayGear Pocket also provides good value by providing a makeshift visor and transforming into a cradle for holding your PSP. These are made possible with a friction hinge, which allows the cover of the case to stay in place in any angle up to 270 degrees. Lifting the cover up slightly allows it to filter off glare, and pushing it all the way back turns the case into a stand, which is ideal for purposes such as movie-watching. Now, that sounds like some good multi-tasking.
Apart from satisfying your need for functionality, the PlayGear Pocket is also nicely designed. Despite having a thick outer layer, the case is designed to fit the shape of your PSP, making the size of it is just slightly bigger than the console itself. This will please buyers who want a cool-looking case without too much excess baggage. The combination of clear plastic and black rubber also makes the PlayGear Pocket appears sleek and stylish. If you're easily appealed by appearance, you'll fall in love with this product. What's more? The case is also customizable, so you can even make your own skin for the cover. This should please gamers who prefer to have their own unique identity.
The down side of the PlayGear Pocket is obviously its weight. It adds considerable package to an already heavy PSP, making it quite like holding a brick at times. Also, despite allowing access to your buttons and switches, the design of the case also means that it's impossible to attach a USB cable from your computer to your PSP when it's in the case. These are not major issues though, and should not be seen as forms of deterrence.
So, eventually, I didn't manage to keep this short. Nevertheless, I hope that I've done enough to impress you to get this product. The PlayGear Pocket is streets ahead of most, if not all its competitor, and having it with allows you to finally kiss the dodgy sleeve that came with your PSP Value Pack goodbye. It didn't take me a long time to buy this, and I think you should too.

This is a great case. It is all the protection you need for your psp. I dont even have a screen protector for it. You can play your psp even while it's in the case.The psp is easy to put in and take out. Dosen't work so well as a "sun visor" though

The Playgear Pocket is simply THE best case you can possibly buy for your PSP. I have dropped mine many a time, and it has protected my PSP. One of the biggest features is the ability to customize. There are rubber inserts that can come out so you can put in, say, photos or art. The case also gives access to all of the ports except the USB port. It additionaly gives acces to the shoulder buttons while at the same time protecting them to a certain extent.
Bottom line: If you want your PSP to survive, you simply MUST have this case. It provides Protection, portability, and the ability to customize.

This case really protected my PSP.I was playing on my psp on top of porch.I was sitting on the ledge.Then I accidently dropped my psp and I was so scared,because my lid was opened,so I jumped off the ledge(about 6 feet away from ground)and I kicked the lid close.But it was even worse when I landed,I accidently stepped on the case with my psp inside and it didn't BREAK!!!!!SOOOOO AMAZING!!!!!!
A wonderful Innovative Idea, with one big draw back for kids. October 8, 2006

I bought this case at Eb games for $20, now that may seem alot, but I knew i couldnt live with out a case. At school numerous of my friends have gone through many PSP's just because of simple drops that have broken the On/off switch or Jammed a button, even broken it in half! I did not want this happening to me.
Before i got this case i did alot of research, and this was the only case, ONLY case that had this good of a drop protection, First off The hard plastic case on the outside is almost indestructible, which is great if you drop it from a high drop, second is the rubber on the inside, this is the one thing that makes this case great, the rubber acts as a shock absorber because if you just had the plastic, like most cases do, the focre from the drop goes straight to the PSP, (plastic cases are only good for scratch resistant, NOT impact protection) so even when you drop it on a hard surface it is like the psp landing on a bunch of pillows. another thing great about the rubber insole is the fact that rubber doesnt scratch the screen or the PSP. this is a very innovative case.
As i said in the title there is one fairly big drawback to kids my age, kids my age, most of them carry their PSP's in their pockets, and even thought this case will stop your PSP from being scratched, the rubber and plastic add about 1/4 of an inch to the dimensions of your PSP in this case the PSP wont fit easily into all pockets. i suggest wearing cargo pants, or measuring your pockets BEFORE you buy this product! if you carry your PSP in a bag or in your hand, you will love this case because it's great protection and very lightweight!
I hope this helps!
