> 3 dayThis case is absolutely fantastic! The Vita slim fits perfectly in this case and there is no room for it to slide around. The straps are great and do not mess with the analog sticks. The left strap rests on the on part of Sony and the right strap rests just past the black border of the screen. In order to place the Vita in the case safely, simply lift one strap up while placing one side of the Vita in. Then grab the other strap and put it over the Vita. To safely take it out, lift one strap and carefully take that side of the Vita and put it above that strap. Then simply grab the other strap and then slide the Vita out. Its pretty simple and the straps safely secure the Vita in the case. The stitching for the area to hold games isnt all that great, but it works well enough to be used. Although that area isnt of the best quality, its understandable with the price point. My purpose for this purchase was for the protection of my Vita and in that regard, this product serves me well. Overall, I highly recommend this case!

> 3 dayThis case has served me well for over a year. There are some things though that you should be aware of: 1. Mine has a bright red/black cover. I was not expecting this as the picture shows it as all black. Not a big deal for me, but others might be disappointed as the design isnt for everyone. 2. After collecting a few game cartridges, I attempted to place them into the case but the stitching easily fell apart. I did not feel comfortable leaving them in there as they were very loose, so I will be shopping for a new case. As others have said, it is a sturdy case and I have traveled with the Vita in this case in luggage and on vacations and it has done a great job of keep it secure. It is just the extra storage that I would not trust.

> 3 dayits 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.

> 3 dayI had been looking for a case for my PS Vita because I was worried about the screen getting scratched during travel and this case is a pretty good deal. It not only straps the PS Vita inside so it doesnt jostle it around but the outer layer is actually quite stiff giving it a protective shield so it doesnt get damaged. Plus the case allows the travel of more than just the game inside the device, holding them into nice little slots that makes sure they wont fall out. It does a good job of keeping track of my PS Vita and games all in one.

> 3 dayNo issues with smell like some others have mentioned. Case is of good quality and protects the Vita very nicely and fit is good. I dont use the game or mem card holder so I cant really comment...they are too small for my fingers to get any use out of them. I would recommend to anyone looking for some protection when traveling with the Vita. Its like a shell but not a plastic...I think it will last as long as I have the vita.

> 3 dayGreat, relatively slim case for protecting my vita. The slim vita will sit more snug inside the case than my original one, but it works well for protecting my console for transport. It has 2 larger mesh pockets and 4 slots for game cards. I havent used the mesh pockets for anything as they wont hold any charging cables, but I did try out the game card slots. I would not recommend placing a game card in the slots available though. I had a game fall out and get lost. Thankfully, I lost the card at a friends place and was able to get it back, but I wont be placing games in this case anymore. I think this case is best if i am just taking the vita without any need for a charger or accessories. I have a different case I like if I want to actually carry a charger or go on a trip. Still, this is my favorite case for carrying around my vita for play on the go. It slips easily into a purse or backpack without a lot of effort. For reference, I own 2 other vita cases. The first is the hard, big clunky hard plastic version officially endorsed by sony. This plastic case is a tank. It probably provides the most protection for my vita, as this case would survive quite a bit. However, considering that it carries 3 game cards, a memory card, and just the vita itself, it is much too large and heavy for me to choose this case on a regular basis. Still, as I own 3 vitas now, its still helpful to keep around. The other case I have in addition to this case is the Smatree P100, which is an excellent case for longer trips or travel. It seems like this one is made of similar material to the CTA case, but is much thicker and has a zippered pocket, which can accommodate my charger and a couple other items. It comes with more game card slots than the CTA, but I have not yet tested these for how well they hold the cards. It looks like they will hold more snug than the CTA one though. However, unlike the CTA, which has elastic bands to hold the vita system in place, this case has an easy lift out tab, so that you can grab the vita quickly, which leads me to believe I should be relatively careful to open this case on a flat surface.

> 3 dayIt does its job. Can use it with a shell case on the Vita. Not a real fan of the elastic bands to hold the Vita in. The flap that holds the games, memory cars, and other items feels flimsy. Time will tell.

> 3 dayIt 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.

22-11-2024Good protective case for your vita. Quality is acceptable, place for game storage and regular earbuds. Also non bulky. There isnt room for a charger, Bluetooth earbuds and ,at my age, I need reading glasses and cant get them to fit in here. That however is not a problem because, that would make it bulky. The elastic that holds the vita in place is probably unnecessary. It would be nice to be able to play with the system in a cover of some kind without having to remove it, but this is the next best thing It works well, 9.99 is definitely a good price too, I cant imagine you will find something better for that price.

> 3 dayFirst, I detected no funny smell from this. It smells like nylon or vinyl. Nothing offensive. I use the straps sometimes, and just ignore them other times. Depends on how much I think the thing will be bounces around in my bag. If you just put the device on top of the straps, they hide out of the way. The case holds the device snugly, and is very well padded. The zipper is stable, closes easily, and doesnt jam or open on its own. I think thats important for a case like this. I highly reccomend keeping the little baggie the clasp comes in. Its perfect for storing the super-tiny Sony storage cards. Then you can stuff that in the webbed area and have them together with your system and not easily lost in the case. I find no use for the clasp, but as clasps go, its a nice, sturdy one. Its large enough for the AR cards to sit in the top compartment, though a slot for them might have been nice. They dont fit in the webbed area--not quite. Its a good, basic case.
