»Proporta Leather PSP Case
  ""

I’ve already reviewed the Proporta screen cover for PSP, but now we’ve got that… times two. This case is almost the same as the screen cover, except it has a back and a strap to hold it in place. This case doesn’t really have the problems that the other one does, but this case could have easily been better.

The PSP in the case looks pretty nice and snug, but I definitely have some problems with the case. When you lay the case flat… the strap is far too big. It doesn’t lay flat at all and just looks… odd. The spot for the game on the front flap looks pretty cool, but it’s not practical at all for protection.


The way the PSP is attached to the case bothers me as well. You screw it into the top of the PSP and to get the game out of the PSP, you have to fold the back flap back pretty far and it puts a lot of pressure on the screws of the PSP. It’s pretty much a pain in the ass to get games out of it. The case also has spots for two memory cards like the Porporta one does, except this one has them on the bottom flap behind the disk drive of the PSP.

Compared to the screen cover that Proporta made, this one makes a lot more sense. It covers the front and back and snaps together so you don’t have to worry about it coming out of place. Another great thing about the case is that the front flap doesn’t fall back and hit your hand, which was annoying with the screen cover. This case is pretty flat though and doesn’t really mold to the PSP at all, which makes it pretty uncomfortable anyways.


The case is leather with a soft interior of a material I’ve never seen before trying the proporta cases and it seems to be rather nice to my PSP and doesn’t leave any residue or scratches. However, the protection from falling or anything else is pretty awful. I’m not sure how convinced I am that leather with cardboard inserts would protect my PSP very well. It’s not really fair that I don’t trust this one when I’d trust the Noreve case, but the Noreve case had two layers of leather protecting it.

For $35, you could probably find a better deal on a case, but the case isn’t extremely bad. It looks pretty good and as long as you’re not going to be pulling the game out or throwing the case down the stairs, you should be alright with this one. It’ll protect your screen, which is the most important thing, but at $35, you might want to look at some other cases first.
