CTA Digital PS Vita Travel EVA Protective Case

Nice case

I bought this to hold my Vita when I am out and about. I put it in my small tablet bag with other various electronics and it fits very well. The case itself is quite sturdy and I like the carabiner option. My one complaint is the lack of a way to hold extra memory cards, as my library is mostly digital. I did remedy this with another product that fits in the case, however. Update: The carabiner option has become too damaged to be safe anymore. The cloth strap holding the biner has nearly ripped off on one side because the case does not sit flat when hanging from the carabiner. Seeing as I did not use it that way very much, I am not terribly upset, but I am disappointed. Otherwise, this case has been pretty great.

If you are looking to protect your PS Vita, this case will certainly do that well; however, there are two things that really annoy me about this case. The first is that the straps that hold the vita in place mess with the sticks, and this worries me that it could mess them up over time. My other issue is that the memory card compartments are only functional for the vita games bought in store, not extra memory cards. I bought the Vita bundle with a 4gb card, and it has fallen out numerous times, but luckily I noticed it fell out. It is an annoyance to have to check if it is still there every time I open it up so that I know whether or not it fell out. Simply making this section of the case a solid zippered compartment would easily have remedied this issue. Pros: Durable Cons: Straps mess with sticks, Memory cards fall out of their compartment

Tried Frebreze, that didnt do much, tried just airing it out, nada, put a dryer sheet in it and that sorta worked actually, but soaking it in the sink with dish soap for a whole day really seems to have worked. It smells like soap now, and maybe that heinous stench is still there, but its certainly masked to the point where it smells good-to-odd instead of outright bad. It was a very weird smell whatever it was, nothing like new shoes or whatever, was really pungent and foul. The pockets for the games were sewn shut on the wrong end based on the pictures, but you can still get games in them. Not sure if theyre secure or not since I only have one physical game at the moment, but it seems like itll work. I havent cut the elastic bands out yet, but they dont seem necessary; I havent used them but I think removing them might cause the Vita to slide around a bit inside. If it wasnt for the smell I wouldve given it 4 stars, and then 5 if the game pockets werent sewn in wrong. Its the kind of thing that some people seemed to have really lucked out on.

Its generally a good case; nothing too fancy. Fits the Vita 2000/slim well, is fairly sturdy, and at a decent price. The inside straps arent very useful, as its very difficult to get the Vita in/out of them, but they also arent necessary. The downside: a STRONG chemical smell. I saw other reviews mention it before buying, but figured it wasnt a big deal. However, after multiple dryer sheets and liberal use of febreeze, the smell is still there. It even clings to the Vita itself for quite a while after removing it from the case. Its not the end of the world, but is bothersome enough to make me consider another case.

Yes, it holds my PS Vita Slim and protects it, but thats it. If thats all youre looking for then this case is for you. The shell of this case ridged but flexible. Feels like it will protect your system just fine from a 3 foot drop. However, if something heavy were to hit it directly center, I would be a little worried. Build quality feels and looks good. Even comes with a small carabiner if the urge strikes you to take your Vita with you rock climbing... As for space, theres enough for your Vita, a USB charging cable (for the Vita Slim), but not the AC adapter. The reason for not getting more stars, and 3 might be too generous, is that the four pockets that are supposed to hold your extra games are sewn shut along the top. Theyre useless. There are two larger mesh pockets, but they dont hold the small Vita games very well. When I open the case my physical games will fall out. All in all, very basic case. Pros: -Hold PS Vita Slim securely in place. -Protects from bumps and scrapes. Cons: -Game card holders are sewn shut along the top. Cant be used. -Not much space for other items like AC Adapter.

I ordered this with my Vita on Black Friday. I paid just under 10$ for it after thinking the pictures looked good. Honestly this deserves about a 4.5 stars.(I really like it, but it probably depends on how much the small details matter to the individual) Overall. Excellent. If you need a sturdy case, just sturdy enough. If you want a soft inside, just soft enough. It holds 4 games, plus two little spots perhaps for couple more games or a small accessory.The section that divides the case works very well. The Vita fits pretty darn snuggly. It has two straps which most people have reviewed to be a nuisance, but I like them, they are a small extra step just to keep the vita safe. If you are like me and arent planning on owning more than 5-7 games for the first year of your Vita, invest. It looks like it might be slightly under-quality, but Ive bought products/cases for my systems by the systems company before and was just left questioning the design. Overall: awesome. Quality: Still, pretty awesome. Price: Super worth it. If you dont mind the PS logo missing, its basically a great deal.

Ill add my recommendations to the others here. This is a very good case that gets the job done at a very reasonable price ($9.01 at the time I am writing this). Overall, the TLDR is that this is a great case that Id recommend with one primary downside: the games tend to easily slip out of the four game sleeves in the case (they are not elastic), so you need to be careful when you open this case in a public place if you have games in there. My full list of Pros/Cons: Pros: - A fairly compact size. - Protective. I wouldnt throw it on the ground, but I dont worry about dropping it. - A good balance between soft (shock-absorbent) and sturdy (protective). - Holds 4 games in addition to the Vita. - The soft interior protects both Vita screens (front and back). - Elastic straps hold the Vita securely in place. - Price. Cons: - Games are a bit loose in their sleeves (game sleeves are not elastic) and can fall out. This is my biggest complaint about this case. I almost lost a game at an airport. - The case had an offensive odor when I opened it (but I got that to mostly go away after leaving the case on the porch for a day). - This case will not comfortably hold the charger cable well (a trade-off for its compact size, which is a Pro). Id recommend this case to someone looking for a practical Vita case at a budget price.

I think this case is really good. The first case I bought for the Vita was the Dreamgear 4 in 1 kit (Vita case, game case, plus touchpad and screen protectors). The Dreamgear is a great case, protects the Vita very well, but its way too bulky This case however is just about perfectly sized. I have a plastic shell protector on the vita itself, and it still fits in the case fine. The slots for the games and the little pockets just make this the best case Ive seen for the money. Also, it comes with a carabiner so you could clip it onto sometimes if you wanted but I wouldnt suggest doing that a lot. Im sure it would tear off eventually.

It fits the slim Vita well. Feels a little tight, but the Vita doesnt bulge out of the case. After a couple days of use, I do have some trouble with the case, specifically the two straps to hold the Vita; its really difficult to take the Vita out after its been strapped in. Of course, I could use one strap or not use it at all, but its there and it was annoying to try to remove my Vita.
