L2 R2 Trigger Hand Grip Shell Controller Protective Case for Sony PS Vita 1000 (Black)

PROS: -Way more comfortable than without it -Having L2/R2 triggers is a must for PSone games, and remote play of PS3/PS4 -Looks really nice on the system -All the ports are easily accessed CONS: -Will NOT close completely if youve a front/back/both screen protector. Only the side snaps work. I havent had it long enough to say whether or not itll be good enough and last. It does feel secure enough, but if it fails I will update this -The trigger buttons are very meh. They have a long travel distance. But, they work. Just takes some getting used to. -While its nice that this isnt overly bulky, it does feel very flimsy and delicate. -Its thicc where it shouldnt be. The Home, Start, and Select buttons are a bit too receded. Still accessible, but a bit annoying. More so with the Start/Select buttons. The Home button is more bearable since it bigger. -Because of the hand grips and trigger buttons, this roughly doubles the thickness of the Vita, and in turn makes it unable to use a standard travel case. I have to use a Mumba hard case that was made to fit a Nintendo Switch and a couple extra joycons etc. SUMMARY: It fine if youve got a screen protector, but a lot better if you dont. It should also be cheaper. Like, $15 total. Ive attached a fair amount of photos to help you decide for yourselves since this listing doesnt even show the trigger buttons, and someone answered a question incorrectly saying it fits with a glass screen protector. UPDATE: Added a few pictures. It turns out you CAN close it all the way with a screen protector, but it takes a decent amount of force. I said to heck with it and figured the flimsy plastic would break, but I got it closed. You can see how its barely staying closed. But, its been a few days with use and it hasnt broken (yet?) so I figured I would update this. So in other, it might or might not break if you get it to close all the way.

Snapped in less then 48 hours hahaha but its comfortable! Just be aware of how cheaply made it is!!

Like many, I found long play sessions on my Vita OLED model a little uncomfortable and wanted a bit more area to grip. This case did the trick, and with the triggers, I can play my older PS1 titles without the inconsistency of using the back touch pad corners unaided as L2/R2 buttons (which all too often I would fail to hit just right). The case by itself isn’t terribly sturdy, and removal of the Vita requires great care so as not to damage the fragile clips that snap together to enclose the Vita. But once installed, it’s a snug fit, and would probably take the hit of a light drop and keep the Vita from being damaged. Probably. I’d have preferred a rubberized or silicone option in this form factor, even without L2/R2 triggers, but the only option like that is no longer manufactured, and sells used at obscene prices. This works fine and didn’t break the bank.

Hand cramps within 3 seconds of holding it. Avoid it.

The shoulder triggers are great and feel exactly like a “real” r2/l2 button. Highly recommended, even though the build, particularly the front cover, is a bit flimsy. Once installed you don’t really notice it.

It is a great case. Definitely needed to play playstation 4 or playstation 3 on the go on the vita plus theres just some games on the vita that benefits from the triggers. My only complaint is i feel that the hinges feel weak but when its closed up i dont see any issues. I definitely recommend this case. I just wish i could find a metal version or a stronger plastic version.

Solid product, fast shipping, makes the vita much more ergonomic and user friendly

This product feels pretty good in my hand and fits on a acrylic vita display stand. I have fairly large hands and it works well.

It was more expensive than what I would like to spend on a case but the improved ergonomics is worth it imo. Looks really good with my white vita!

The L2 and R2 triggers work GREAT. Games that rely on them (such as the PSX game Panzer Front, while playing on vita inside Adrenaline PSP emulator) are 100% playable now. Grip is very comfortable as well. Great product and does exactly as advertised. This makes the vita the ultimate retro gaming handheld and the true “PlayStation Portable”
