One of the problems with all these technological toys is the fact that they are easily ruined. Even the cheapest of game consoles, geared towards kids, costs over $120. Unless you protect your gear immediately, then you will certainly be repairing or replacing your portable entertainment devices in no time.
The PSP is one of the best handheld gaming experiences, in my opinion, but is not the most durable thing in the world. It features shiny plastic and an awesome screen, both of which can be easily scratched (not as easily as an iPod, which can become scratched by a summer breeze).
If you’;re serious about protecting your portable gaming investment, then you certainly need a quality case. There are many to be had, each with their pros and cons, but if you’;re going to spend the money then why not get a good one that can hold everything?
The Slappa PSP Hardbody Complete Case isn’;t just another PSP housing, but a complete system that can protect and organize your PSP, games, video cables, supply, and just about every other PSP accessory you can think of.
The PSP HardBody Complete case features the same highly protective Molded Duro-Shock xEVA shell as SLAPPA’s award-winning HardBody CD and DVD line. It offers a storage capacity capable of carrying a gamer’s full PSP collection, yet it is highly portable for travel. The design is rounded out with a rainproof zipper and two rubber molded zipper pullers for an all-inclusive and sleek PSP storage case.
Lots of mini cases that stick to the main case with velcro
Three internal storage compartments offer protection and organization for the PSP and accessories. Compartment #1 includes three scuba-prene cases for PSP, headphones and UMD storage, compartment #2 features six soft UMD pockets and compartment #3 has a cargo net for power cord storage.

On the next page we open the case and render a verdict…
As mentioned earlier, this is a complete storage system. The hardbody case not only has several pockets, but several mini cases to house the individual components of your system. Inside the case is a hollow cavity with mesh which can easily take the power supply, video cables, and any other bulky part of your system. This cavity can be hidden away with a Velcro fabric plate, so this stuff doesn’;t fall out every time you open the case.

The other half of the case is separated by a black fabric media page that can accommodate 8 UMD games. Underneath this page are three smaller cases for the PSP unit (with a small pocket for MemorySticks), headphones, and a small UMD pocket. Each mini case has a Velcro backing which adheres each case to the inside of the main case. Each case is lined with fabric so everything slips in and out without scratches.
Most users will probably use the PSP part of the case the most, which does not have room for extra UMD games, as other ‘all-in-one’; compact cases offer. More and more people are forgoing UMDs in favour of downloaded games on large capacity MemorySticks, so this may not be a big issue.

Overall this is a nice system, especially if you like to keep things organized. With this Complete case you can keep everything in one place, and pull individual components out as you need them. Each of the components can be easily removed if you want to take things on the go, like slipping into your backpack or laptop bag. I’;ve used several PSP cases, and this is easily the most versatile while offering a good amount of protection.
