> 3 dayIf you are looking to protect your PS Vita, this case will certainly do that well; however, there are two things that really annoy me about this case. The first is that the straps that hold the vita in place mess with the sticks, and this worries me that it could mess them up over time. My other issue is that the memory card compartments are only functional for the vita games bought in store, not extra memory cards. I bought the Vita bundle with a 4gb card, and it has fallen out numerous times, but luckily I noticed it fell out. It is an annoyance to have to check if it is still there every time I open it up so that I know whether or not it fell out. Simply making this section of the case a solid zippered compartment would easily have remedied this issue. Pros: Durable Cons: Straps mess with sticks, Memory cards fall out of their compartment

> 3 dayIts generally a good case; nothing too fancy. Fits the Vita 2000/slim well, is fairly sturdy, and at a decent price. The inside straps arent very useful, as its very difficult to get the Vita in/out of them, but they also arent necessary. The downside: a STRONG chemical smell. I saw other reviews mention it before buying, but figured it wasnt a big deal. However, after multiple dryer sheets and liberal use of febreeze, the smell is still there. It even clings to the Vita itself for quite a while after removing it from the case. Its not the end of the world, but is bothersome enough to make me consider another case.

> 3 dayok ive read reviews on this and every one was saying that it sucks but i like it. first: yes it does have a smell but its not as strong as everyone was saying. put some nugs in there and it will be good!!! second: everyone was complaining about the straps and how they mess with the sticks or cover the screen. they dont im not going to cut them off. they are a pain in the butt to get the vita out of the case but thats what their there for so and third: the game slots are for games not memory cards way to big for a memory card if your going to keep one put it under the ps vita. it holds my vita few games and my cord for my beats so i like it

> 3 dayThe case feels sturdy and it can withstand a fall (I have dropped it once, onto concrete, and everything inside was fine). I havent had any trouble with the straps. They hold the Vita in nicely, and its easy to pull them up and over the sticks to slide them off and pull the Vita out. I havent considered cutting them off because they seem to work as intended and they dont cause me any problems at all. Though it only has slots for five games, the panel that holds the games doesnt tend to fall open when the case is opened and it has some extra pouch space in the flap. Ive been able to tuck five more games in there without worrying about them falling out or moving around much. My case didnt have a weird or strong smell, as others have reported, so Im guessing either the problem has been addressed or it was only a problem with certain lots. Even if I bury my nose in it, I only detect a faint plastic-y smell- nothing that I would ever notice unless I was looking for it. All in all, Im very pleased with the case, and especially with the price. The case also allows you to go incognito, since it doesnt have giant Vita or PS lettering on the sides- one of the reasons I tend to look for aftermarket or third-party cases for almost everything.

Greater than one weekPros: *Easy to use and get started *Runs relatively fast *You can download games when connected to the internet Cons: *The internet does not work at locations where you need to sign in or agree to user terms (hotels, starbucks, etc) *Holding the device is not comfortable after a few hours *The Playstation network and login is silly and overly complex

> 3 dayThis is a great case. It has enough space in it for a few games, the charger, and some headphones (and the Vita, obviously). What could be better is the little straps that secure the Vita. These are kind of annoying to move when removing the Vita. I havent decided if Ill cut them or not. They hold the device in place in case you open it carelessly. Ill give it another week or two and see how I feel about it. With the exception of the straps, this is a fantastic case at a great bargain.

> 3 dayI ordered this with my Vita on Black Friday. I paid just under 10$ for it after thinking the pictures looked good. Honestly this deserves about a 4.5 stars.(I really like it, but it probably depends on how much the small details matter to the individual) Overall. Excellent. If you need a sturdy case, just sturdy enough. If you want a soft inside, just soft enough. It holds 4 games, plus two little spots perhaps for couple more games or a small accessory.The section that divides the case works very well. The Vita fits pretty darn snuggly. It has two straps which most people have reviewed to be a nuisance, but I like them, they are a small extra step just to keep the vita safe. If you are like me and arent planning on owning more than 5-7 games for the first year of your Vita, invest. It looks like it might be slightly under-quality, but Ive bought products/cases for my systems by the systems company before and was just left questioning the design. Overall: awesome. Quality: Still, pretty awesome. Price: Super worth it. If you dont mind the PS logo missing, its basically a great deal.

Greater than one weekAn affordable, effective product. Perfect for my PS Vita Slim. I use this to transport my vita in my backpack with peace of mind. It is semi rigid, and sturdy enough, but dont expect heavy duty protection. I dont put any pressure on it, so there is no concern for crushing. The internal sleeve is designed for games, though I use mine to hold extra memory cards with no hassle. All in all, worth the price and if something happened to mine, I would likely buy this again.

> 3 daySimple yet stylish in black (there are multiple variants of this basic case type). The synthetic fiber weave texture is vaguely reminiscent of a carbon fiber pattern in miniature and the clamshell halves feel sturdy. The storage flap has four slots for games (which you cant ID at a glance as the pockets are solid fabric) and a two-partition net for general storage. Theres not enough room to house your whole charger, but the USB cable will fit, as will multiple game and memory cards. So far, I have 8 games in mine. The carabiner included is decent quality, although it doesnt like to stay hanging from the small end of the loop. Wasnt sure my Vita with TPU skin case would fit, but it does, snugly. That was a great bonus.

> 3 dayGreat Case for the Vita. This has several slots for the game cards and secures them very well. The console has to be removed from the case to play it, but it is pretty simple with the two elastic straps. The case provides good protection to the console and comes with a small carabiner to secure the case. The zipper and material are good quality.
