CTA Digital PS Vita Travel EVA Protective Case

I got my Vita for Xmas and wanted to make sure that i did not break it. I searched and I found this bad boy. it was in the price range that i was Willing to spend to protect it. its a good case its pretty sturdy and seems like it will protect my vita well. I do not like how it has two straps inside to hold the Vita and my only problem with them is that they snag on the Joysticks sometimes. i dont use them anymore but the are a good addition for the added safety. I also like how it has slots for me to put my games in and pouches that i presume will hold headphones and other small things. the only thing i dont like about this case is that i cant fit the charging cable inside of it. I realized though that I do keep my laptop around with me and I can just take the USB portion with me all the time which WILL fit in the case and leave the DC distribution box and AC cable at home. =] If your looking for a case Id HIGHLY recommend this one. One more thing i wish that it had two caribiners or better yet M.U.L.E. straps so I can strap it to my USMC Day pack securely. Other then that. 9.8/10

It fits my vita in perfectly and hold 4 games at a time. You can also put earbuds in there. The only downside is you cant fit the charger in the case. Otherwise it keeps my vita safe when I got traveling and I dont have to worry about it getting scratched anymore.

The flap that holds games feels stiff and is tucked into the top more than advertised. May just be a bit of a nitpick but its something to know. Fits the 1000 model well so I assume itd fit the 2000.

This is a nice enough case for your Vita. Its not quite a hardshell but it isnt soft either – I dont hesitate to throw it into my backpack loose with other items. There is a little fold out divider and pockets for a few games but there isnt quite enough room to fit the (admittedly, pretty big) Vita power adapter. You could probably fit just the USB cable, but Id prefer a case that would hold everything.

I ordered 2 of these ,mince both my son and I have the ps vita. He received his today and I checked it out. Its pretty solid and the pockets for the games is a pretty good bonus. The straps dont seem like a big deal and they dont HAVE to be used if youre uncomfortable with them, but they do hold the system in the case firmly. Im just a bit disappointed that mine is taking so long to ship. :-(

its a necessity if you have a psvita. it did smell funny when i first opened it but it will go away after sometime. the only bad thing about this is that the game cartridge will come out of the pockets easily. if i shake the case and open it odds are that the games are out of their pockets and scattered on the thing. i kind of fixed the issue by buying some velcro and sticking it on the ends so the flap stays closed and the games dont go flying out every where.

Nice case

I was skeptical at first looking at this case since most of the reviews by people that said they liked this case were from 2012, and most of the reviews from 2014 said the case was horrible and smelled bad. I ended up buying this case anyway and I think it is as perfect as i could have asked for. My case doesnt smell like burning rubber in fact the only way I could even smell this case was if I stuck my nose against it, if you back your nose up an inch you cant detect it, but even when you do get next to it, it only smells like a shoe does when you first buy it. overall this case is very sturdy and the game slots fit fine, I dont think I couldve asked for a better quality item at 8 dollars. Verdict: *Quite affordable *Very snug *The straps can be a tad annoying but they do keep the vita very secure *Doesnt smell bad *Feels like it is high quality You really cant go wrong for 8 bucks, Id suggest this case.

For the price it wont get much better than this. I just wanted something to keep my Vita safe while out and about. As someone else suggested in one of the reviews, dont use the elastic bands, just let the vita sit on top of them and then zip up the case. The problem is to use the bands you have to force the vita into the case and I just dont feel comfortable doing that as im trying to have the Vita last for many years to come. The case is solid and well built and I feel confident that dropping this a few feet up with my vita inside will do next to nothing to the Vita.

Edit (6 July 2013): Im putting this from a 2 star rating to a 3 star rating. It really has held up well and has protected my Vita. Its quite impressive actually. But I cant stand how the upper flap is layered still; its still unusable. ---------- Original review: Generally, it does what it says. It carries the PSVita and protects it from harm. Ive dropped it once on concrete on accident and nothing was harmed. It gets the job done. However, Im not happy with [mostly] everything else. The carabiner that was suppose to come with it, didnt even fit in the small loop. Ive tried shoving it in, but nope. Doesnt fit at all (so I left it in the box). The top level where all the games and memory cards, etc go is tucked into the case in such a way that it always flaps into the top. Some pockets for the memory cards are sown into mesh. This makes no sense whatsoever. They could have put a zipper instead of open pockets so that the games,etc wont fall out. I also would NOT recommend putting earphones in it. There is just not enough space because of the flapping layer. When the Vita is in the case and strapped in, you cant push the L or R buttons. I really wish it did so I could at least play on it while its in the case. On the center that holds the top and bottom together, I can see some parts already being undone. Ive had it... almost 3 weeks now? For the price of it right now, ~$8-ish, its decent. It does its job. If you have a few extra dollars to spend, Id probably get a better one. The case I received didnt have that dreaded smell, so thats a good thing. Edit (5 Feb. 2013): Im lowering this to 2 stars because I suspect that its scratching my PSVitas screen. About a week into use, I noticed 3 0.5-1 inch long cuts on my screen (luckily I had a screen protector) and it had to have come from the case. If they got rid of that layer on top, I think it would have been fine. Edit (19 Mar. 2013): Im actually surprised that this case has held up for so long. There hasnt been any major rips or tears or anything like that. As for the case being too small to hold the Vita, I made a quick adjustment that seems to have done the trick. Instead of putting the Vita inside (the right way up), I put it in upside down so that it sits on the top flap. This method stops the two joysticks from being smashed since the system is being held up by the two cords when the case is closed.
