CTA Digital PS Vita Travel EVA Protective Case

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.

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.

An affordable, effective product. Perfect for my PS Vita Slim. I use this to transport my vita in my backpack with peace of mind. It is semi rigid, and sturdy enough, but dont expect heavy duty protection. I dont put any pressure on it, so there is no concern for crushing. The internal sleeve is designed for games, though I use mine to hold extra memory cards with no hassle. All in all, worth the price and if something happened to mine, I would likely buy this again.

I bought this for my son for Christmas and I couldnt have made a better choice. Its just padded enough to protect the Vita when he throws it in his backpack to head to work or school. It holds a few memory cards and that all you really need, if you buy a case to hold the charger, then the compact size needed to made it truly portable goes out the window! The zipper is a very good quality and this one didnt have the intense odor others have spoken about. After it was opened on Christmas morning, we put it outside on the deck to air out ...just in case it did. The stitching is perfect and for the price, come on folks, this is a fantastic buy! When you think about what the Vita costs, this is a very needed purchase the day you buy it.

Simple yet stylish in black (there are multiple variants of this basic case type). The synthetic fiber weave texture is vaguely reminiscent of a carbon fiber pattern in miniature and the clamshell halves feel sturdy. The storage flap has four slots for games (which you cant ID at a glance as the pockets are solid fabric) and a two-partition net for general storage. Theres not enough room to house your whole charger, but the USB cable will fit, as will multiple game and memory cards. So far, I have 8 games in mine. The carabiner included is decent quality, although it doesnt like to stay hanging from the small end of the loop. Wasnt sure my Vita with TPU skin case would fit, but it does, snugly. That was a great bonus.

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.

Great case, does exactly what I want it to do which is hold my vita + games. The holders for the chips were not flimsy and actually hold the games pretty well, and you can put it however many games you want in the pocket but just be careful opening the case so they dont fall out. I personally dont use the straps to hold the vita, but its there if you want it. The case is provides a decent amount of protection from normal drops and stuff but dont expect it to take a beating, you should be taking care of your vita anyway. Oh and I dont recommend trying to fit in the entire charger (the original vitas charger), you can put in a wire but if you try to put in the brick youll have a hard time, youre better off putting it in your pocket or another bag. Anyways, Ive actually had this for a while now and its still going strong, as long as youre not looking for anything too fancy and are mainly looking for a convenient lightweight travel case then youll like it.

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.

It 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.

Good 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.
