Sony "Traveler" PSP case review.

Behold the glory of the PSP Traveler, an official case for your PSP that is actually worth the investment.


The case is made out of a clear polycarbonate with a black rubberish insert that holds your PSP securely. The case is entirely play through with the only reason to remove the system being to change the UMD. In fact this case is exactly like the Logitech Playgear Pocket but with extra features. Such as UMD, and Memory Stick storage.

Which of course makes it slightly thicker, a comparison shot of the Playgear and Traveler follows:

Both cost the same $20 dollars but here is a list of upgrades over the Play gear
-Built in Screen protector (also functions to prevent the PSP from falling out while open)
-UMD storage *2
-Memory stick Duo storage *2
-Pads on back to make in no skid
-Feet on edges to make it no skid when used as a video stand
-Better Latch

Pros:
+Virtually Indestructible
+Media storage
+Play through
+Doubles a stand for movies
+No skid
+Screen protection
+Easy to use
+Only $20 dollars
+shock resistant
 
Cons
-Takes a freaking huge system and makes it Even larger
-Holes not big enough for easy access to ports
-No hole for USB
-Case doesn't shut perfectly when using Sony Remote Control (it shuts but there is a gap where it forces it open a bit, not good that is puts pressure on the port)
-Does not include wrist strap (use an extra Wii one!)
-Dear god it costs $20 dollars!!!  (if it weren't such a complete solution I would never buy it.
-UMD storage is a little loose.

Verdict: A Must have for all who own a PSP

Rant: Why the freak are PSP accessories so expensive!!!  $25 for a set of headphones with a remote!, Twenty dollars for a Case, 20 for a headset with mike, 40 for and extra battery, and 30 for a charger for said extra battery!!!! Dear god what the heck is wrong with this picture. 
    Also what the freak is up with 30 dollar UMD movies, that I can buy the DVD for 15, and the DVD comes with special features! No wonder UMD failed it costs twice as much as a better media!
