CTA Digital PS Vita Travel EVA Protective Case

I got this baby cheap. As long as it kept my VITA screen unscratched, it was doing a good job. And it did. This case is not the best at holding your VITA while playing it at the same time. I have the version 3 with a OLED and I found that the straps cut off the sides of the screen. I found this case way more effective for holding a glass pipe and other stuff. It has good padding and seals in any unwanted smells. Plus everyone thinks there is a VITA inside. For 10 dollars, this is a must buy.

I GIVE IT A 4 BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO DO WHAT I NEED IT FOR. THE REASON 4 & NOT 5, BECAUSE ITS ZIPPER & CLIP DO NOT COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER.MY PS VITA SLIPPED OUT DUE TO THE CLIP BEING ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ZIPPER CAUSING ME TO QUICKLY USE MY FOOT TO STOP IT FROM HITTING THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIR CASE BY SLIDING IT ONTO A STEP, MY NEGLIGENCE I MUST ADMIT WAS NOT ZIPPING IT ALL THE WAY SHUT, BUT THAT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM IF THE CLIP WAS WERE THE ZIPPER CLOSED ALL THE WAY UP INSTEAD OF UPSIDE DOWN. I HOPE THAT HELPS ANYONE OUT, IT SEEMS SOLID & STURDY. I HAD IT FOR ALMOST A MONTH. INSIDES OKAY ENOUGH TO FIT 2 PS VITAs OR PSPs. REMEMBER TO VACUUM INSIDE GETS RATHER LINTY. GOOD FEEL,NOT BAD STITCH WORK ON MINE, CANT HELP BUT FEEL LIKE THE GAME POUCHES SHOULD HAVE BUTTON SNAPS TO CLOSE IT THOUGH..JUST TO BE SAFE,GAME POUCHES FEEL CHEAP LIKE AN EVERLAST MMA GLOVE,BUT I DONT BOTHER WITH IT MUCH ANYWAYS. BE VERY! CAREFUL WHEN EXTRACTING THE PS VITA BECAUSE OF THE STRAPS YOUR LEFT & RIGHT JOYSTICKS WILL! GET CAUGHT ON THEM..A QUICK WARNING,THEY HOLD IT VERY WELL..EVEN WHEN EXTRACTING THE VITA AS WELL. SEEMS LIKE THIS CASE IS JUST FINE (FOR NOW) ONLY TIME WILL TELL, BUT I LIKE IT, USE TO USE AN OLD WINTER HAT AS A COVER FOR MY PSPs(LENGTHY REVIEW I KNOW,BUT HEY, YOUR WELCOME)CHEERS.

Great case, has space for cables and cards, even additional stuff like metro or credit cards if you want. The Vita fits perfectly, actually a bit too well: it can be a bit tricky to get it out of the case sometimes. Not impossible but not super easy neither. At least that way its super secured. I have not dropped it by it feels sturdy and would protect the Vita if I dropped it so I feel good knowing I store it here. Great as well to have when you carry the vita in a backpack or bag with lots of other stuff, you dont have to worry about it being scratched or dented or compressed.

This is a nice enough case for your Vita. Its not quite a hardshell but it isnt soft either – I dont hesitate to throw it into my backpack loose with other items. There is a little fold out divider and pockets for a few games but there isnt quite enough room to fit the (admittedly, pretty big) Vita power adapter. You could probably fit just the USB cable, but Id prefer a case that would hold everything.

Not a bad case for the price. The hard shell seems like it would protect my Vita in case I dropped it, but the case has a weird smell to it. It gave me a headache, so the plan is to let it set in the garage for a few days to see if the scent dissipates. Ill update this review if it remains a problem.

This is exactly what I needed. Its large enough to fit the Vita and a few games, but small enough that it doesnt take up much space in my backpack. The case is actually tougher than I expected - the outside is almost a hard shell. The inside is fully lined with a fairly soft fabric... you wont have to worry about your Vita getting scratched by the insides of the case. Theres a carabiner clip on the outside, as well as an attachment so you can thread a belt through it. I didnt want to buy the Sony carrying case, because its an open design and doesnt even protect the sides of the Vita. I didnt want to buy the Sony travel pouch because its way too big. Considering the cost, I think this is an excellent value for a no-nonsense, simple protective case.

The case is sturdy but not 100% rigid. Theres a bit of give on the top. I always carry a soft cloth for my Vitas so suggest keeping it folded on top of screen inside case. As you can see from my photos, both Vita models fit inside! Its clearly designed for the newer 2000 Slim model, but the older 1000 model fits too due to the extra space at the top. There are basic slots/pouches for keeping mem and game cards. The case comes with a clip for fitting a strap or lanyard. The only minor design flaw are the straps - getting your Vita out is a bit fiddly, pulling them aside.

For the price, this travel case is tough to beat. And for $10, there are some expected minor construction issues, in particular the stitching. The belt loop on the sample I received was stitched at an off angle (the entire belt loop, not the stitching holding the belt loop in place). Not a problem for me since I have no intention of ever wearing this on my belt, but it does indicate a slight lack of attention to detail and care from the factory worker who did the stitching. The stitching on the game card pockets on the inside flap was particularly sub par and popped when inserting a game card, probably they are stitched onto a loose mesh material. The rear mesh tends to catch corners as well, making it difficult to easily slide game cards in place. The insert flap is made out of a neoprene-like foam material and should provide minor padding for the PSV. The mesh stitched onto the insert forms two pockets for storing headphones, a cleaning cloth or a memory card case. The case is made out of thermo-molded sheets of EVA plastic covered with nylon weave on the outside and a soft, low pile nylon lining on the inside. The PSV fits very snugly inside, making it about a slim as possible for a semi-hard shell case that should provide a higher degree of impact protection than a soft nylon sleeve or bag, and a higher level of crush protection due to the semi-rigid shell. It is not a hard case made out of rigid plastic. Design-wise, there was enough care made to include features like the belt loop and a removable lightweight carabiner to attach the case to a bag or belt loop, but neither are really necessary since the overall size of the PSV is more conducive to slipping into a bag or inside jacket pocket. There are two elastic straps sewn into the bottom of the case to hold the PSV in place, presumably to keep people from dumping their console on the ground if theyre holding the case upside down or sideways when opening it. Again, not really necessary and they take extra time to slip on and off. Many will probably end up snipping them off since they never use them, but its possible to just drop the PSV on top of the elastic straps as if they werent even there and the case still zips ups easily. The double zipper has a smooth action. The case lies between a nylon sleeve that mostly provides scratch protection and a hard shell case that provides impact and crush protection. Since the case fits snugly, it adds minimal bulk for those who dont want a blocky hard case or a padded nylon bag large enough to store everything including the PSV AC adapter. Overall, its a perfect slim fit holster for the PSV that works well as a permanent protective storage unit when not being used or plugged into a charge cradle. I would gladly pay $20 for the same design with better construction, better stitching, better game card pockets, a higher quality liner (like the material used in the Madcatz 3DS case), but for $10 it pretty much met expectations and fit the bill perfectly as a place to keep the PSV at home and on the go.

I dont have a lot of bad things to say about the product other then I really wish the inside of it was a more softer texture. I also find it hard to take it out, I find myself taking one strap off and like having to pop it out from there. So theres not a lot of breathing room to take it out on. I also wish they wouldve replaced the straps with something else to hold the PS Vita in because my analog sticks seems to get stuck on it quite a bit. But on the good side, it does do its job of keeping it protected and I havent seen any scratches from me taking it out of the case so far. The flap on it makes for good storage for games I would wanna take along on a trip and my screen cleaner I picked up. Its a nice simple in-expensive case and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a case that just gets the job done.

I ordered 2 of these ,mince both my son and I have the ps vita. He received his today and I checked it out. Its pretty solid and the pockets for the games is a pretty good bonus. The straps dont seem like a big deal and they dont HAVE to be used if youre uncomfortable with them, but they do hold the system in the case firmly. Im just a bit disappointed that mine is taking so long to ship. :-(
