Extreme Limit Ultra Light-weight PSP Suit (Flap Type)

Gadgeteer Hands On Review by Julie

June 16, 2005

If you're not into vinyl, plastic, metal or thick leather as a material for your PlayStation Portable (PSP) case, then maybe the Ultra Light-weight Suit from Extreme Limit is more your speed. Available in 2 styles: flap type and open, this case is made of a soft ultra microfiber black suede with contrasting red stitching. I was sent the case with the flap.

This case is play through and almost totally encloses the PSP when the flap cover is closed (with a Velcro tab). Only the corners remain exposed. Cutouts on the face of the case allow for access to the screen, and all of the buttons. The cutouts line up well enough, but the case material always seemed to get in the way of my thumbs when trying to press buttons.

The case is pretty simple in design. The only extras are 3 media slots. A UMD slot on the backside exterior, and 2 Memory stick slots in the interior spine area of the case.

For the most part, I usually like Extreme Limit cases. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of this particular case for several reasons. 1. The overall fit is too loose. 2. Velcro is used to hold the cover closed. 3. The suede material is a huge lint and dust magnet. :o(  Hopefully they will come out with a better case soon...
