CTA Digital PS Vita Travel EVA Protective Case

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.

I had read other reviews regarding this product... some reviews stated that the case had a really pungent odor that was so bad that the product needed to be returned. This was not the case with mine & it was the first thing that was paying attention too when I opened the package. I sniffed around the box before opening & it didnt smell so I pulled open a corner & still didnt smell anything... I pulled it out of the box & took a HUGE wiff right on the case... nothing, just the normal weird from factory new fabric smell... I dont even smell that anymore & I have had it for a week or so now. The other thing people complain about the elastics inside that hold the Vita in place. people have cut these off as they do not like them... this I feel is a preference, I personally like them. They stretch enough that I can get the Vita out without to much difficulty or damage to the system. They are tight enough that they hold the system in place comfortably. People say they tug on the analog sticks when they try to take the system out of the case but I dont find this to be an issue. I pull up on the elastic while grabbing the bottom corner of the system & put the elastic behind that side of the system I then lift the other elastic & slide out the system towards the side I already pulled the elastic off of. So again this is preference as to whether or not you want to snip them out. The case itself is nice quality & I feel if I dropped it from about waist high no damage would come to my Vita. The flap inside has space for a few games &/or Memory Cards... however I do find that these slots are a little to big for the Memory Card alone without some sort of small case (like what the SD Cards come in)... games have no issue fitting. There is a netting on the inside as well for small accessories... but not the AC adaptor... maybe a USB Cable and some ear buds are all that would fit. I personally have not used this section yet. All in all I find this to be a good purchase for the price as it is good quality, I feel it protects my system, & like that it has some space for some games &/or Memory Cards. I definitly give this product 5 Stars. Good price, good product.

It has a carabiner clip so you can hook it to your belt loop or backpack strap or something like that, but I dont know why youd want to do that. It has a zipper to keep your stuff from falling out, which is nice but pretty much all of these products have that. The outer shell is black fabric with a thin core of hard plastic I think. It is not the most durable thing in the world - do not expect it to protect your Vita and games if you drop it down the stairs or run it over with your moms car. But it will protect against minor bumps that frequently happen when you travel. Inside has three types of pockets. One whole side has two elastic straps that will hold your PSVita in place. It will fit the model PCH-1001, I am not sure about other models because I dont own other models. The other side has a flap that acts as a cushion for the top of your Vita when you zip up the case. The back (or top) side of the case has two additional types of pockets. There are four tiny pouches that will fit your Vita games, and two mesh pockets that are the perfect size for one UMD (PSP game/movie disc) each. Aside from that, you might be able to squeeze a small pocket notebook and a pen on top of the flap before you zip it up but there really isnt much extra room for accessories and such. If you want to bring more than four PSVita games with you, I recommend stashing them in a zip-lock sandwich bag and stuff the bag in here on top of the flap. If you want to bring more than two bigger items (i.e. those UMD discs) Id recommend using some other kind of case for that.

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.

My mom ordered this case for my 13 year old brother. He has the PS Vita slim blue. It fits perfectly in there. The cases material feels good, hard enough to carry around in your bag worry about dings/scratches and the flap inside protects the screen. Also the flap has slots to carry a few games and a net to carry earphones. A charger wouldnt fit so make sure this is okay with you. Other than that I would recommend this product since it is inexpensive and well made.

No 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.

Im a big fan of slim cases for handhelds/phones/etc. This case fits my PCH-1001 PS Vita perfectly. Im all digital (except one physical game) on Vita, so I dont care about the game cart holders, but they dont seem too good. Im sure they get the job done, though. The little flap with the game cart holders arrived a little bent; I think the sewing was a little off on mine. But what I really wanted was a light, tight fitting case, and this case does that perfectly without breaking the bank. I almost want to buy another one for my New 3DS.

Well made case for the Vita with room for 4 games and a few other small accessories (ear buds, etc). Good price and shipping was also fast. I havent experienced any odd smells from the case like a few have mentioned, either. I was worried because I added a silicone cover to the unit and wasnt sure it would still fit with the case zipped shut, but it did, so there is a little extra room if your adding that to your Vita.

I bought this for my son as he likes to take his Vita everywhere. So far it is a very good protective case. He puts it in his backpack with various other items, books, t shirts etc.... He even knocked the case off of his nightstand with the Vita in it and nothing happened to the Vita turned right on, works perfectly. I would buy it again, if you are going to pay $200 for a device then you might as well spend a few extra dollars to protect it.

I like this case. A lot of other reviewer have mentioned that the straps are a nuisance. I would have to agree. They tend to latch onto the joysticks when removing the PS Vita from its case. I dont even bother with them. I just place my Vita on top of the straps and this seems to work fine. The one thing I wish this case had was pockets for the memory cards. It has slots for games, but they are a little too big for the memory cards. If your not careful, the cards could slip out.
