Recommend a PSP 3000 case? - Blu-ray Forum

Sylin · 06-13-2009, 09:39 PM

Went to GameStop yesterday and they had a nice PSP hardshell case that flipped open, and then twisted around behind the unit and clipped in place. I liked the engineering, but the lousy "GOD OF WAR" logo silkscreened on it means it's not for me (if I use my PSP as a media device on business trips, I really don't want a GoW logo on the outside).

Anyhow, I went home and tried to find a non-branded version of this case online and came up empty. I'm pretty sure it was made by SCEA.

Any suggestions for a nice case for the PSP 3000? My goal with the case is to protect the unit from scratches. If it comes with a pack of screen protectors, all the better. I don't really need a case that holds a bunch of UMD's or anything, but if it can accommodate a few, that's fine.

Thoughts?

Thanks! That's the one I found on Amazon earlier, but wasn't sure.

Does the top half of the case just flop around while you're playing? Or does it clasp in place? I tried zooming in on the images to read the fine print, but they were too low-res.

I reccomend this. I used to have the original one for my old PSP and I had no compliants with it, and you can play it while in the case (it has to be open though, obviously).

After some exhaustive research, it looks like the cases by a Korean company called JoyTron seems to be my choice.

Problem is, I can't find ANYONE in the US who sells them. Not even eBay.

Here's a link to the JoyTron web site in Korea.

Does anyone know any vendors I could buy from, either retail or online, who might carry these? I like the fact that they allow access to the UMD drive, all the ports, and you can use a regular screen saver instead of having the case cover the screen.

Update for anyone who cares.

After emailing back and forth with the company, using Google Translate to communicate in Korean, I finally discovered that a web site called Renchi.com had this PSP case available for import for only $6.99 plus shipping (and VAT)!

I bought 2, with the expectation that I'll be buying a Hannah Montana PSP for my daughter in August.

The JoyTron cases get extremely good reviews in the international press, and on YouTube. Can't wait to get it!
