PSPgo Traveler Case Micro Review_ Stylish and Sleek

Sony’s slide-and-play, download-only PSPgo has been out for a bit more than a month. Isn’t it time to start thinking yono all app about accessories? While the PSPgo may not need a case, the slip on faux leather Traveler Case could still be worth the small investment.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ yono all app playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Loved Design: Constructed of stiff, faux leather, the Traveler case fits the PSPgo like a glove. A velcro latch hold the case tightly closed when not in use. The small footprint doesn’t get in the way of gameplay or movie watching and the relatively hard exterior certainly provides extra protection from accidental drops. Look: The smooth, lightly textured case adds a bit of class to the already sexy looking PSPgo. Better still, it does so without adding pocket-bursting bulk to the svelte portable. Hated Not Always Convenient: For the most part, the PSPgo Traveler Case is the sort of thing you would never take your PSPgo out of. Unless you happen to pick up Sony’s power-charging, sync-supporting Cradle. Unfortunately, as tightly as the case wraps around the PSPgo, it still adds enough bulk to make it not fit in the cradle. I was also disappointed to find that claims that the case can double as a stand to watch movies were greatly exaggerated. Unless you flip open the case on carpet, the smooth finish can’t get enough grip to hold your PSPgo up at a good viewing angle. I like my electronic cases to be a form-fitting as possible, which is why I’m so enamored with the Traveler Case. Unfortunately, my other big case pet peeve is that it has to work with whatever system I use to charge the device. I hate having to take an electronic out of its case to charge it. In the case of the PSPgo, it’s going to have to be the Cradle or the Traveler Case, but not both. The Traveler w69 slot Case was designed by Sony for the PSPgo. Retails for $19.99 USD.
