Pros: -Fits the PSP Slim (2000) perfectly.
-Great for piece of mind.
-A must buy if you lend your PSP to friends.
-Doesn't really interfere with the buttons on the PSP.
Cons: -Mine was already scratched up when I received it.
-Adds bulkiness to the PSP slim.
-Covers up the Memory Stick slot.
-After a year of usage, the latch on the bottom is pretty worn out.
Other Thoughts: It adds some thickness to the sleek PSP 2000. Because of this, I only really use this case when I am outside the house. Seems to hold up very well. I have actually dropped my PSP multiple times with the case on.
Bottomline: A good buy, but not for everyone. If you want the psp look brand new a year from now, but don't care about the thickness, it might be for you.
Great, excellent buy for psp slim

Pros: Great plastic, can very clearly see the screen. The packaging was very professional, and the product came nicely packaged. This case prevents fingerprints especially on my black slim. It fits the psp slim very nicely, and it feels solid and has a very good build quality. All buttons and ports are accessible. The thum pad can move freely, this case did not obstruct any buttons or ports. Looks very good on the psp.
Cons: -The Umd cover uses a weak push type locking mechanism. I had to do it a few times to ensure it wo't open again. other than that, I love this case very much.
Other Thoughts: Great case especially if you want to protect and maintain your psp. Very good case, you will absolutely love it. I recommend this product because it's everything that I expected it to be and more.
Bottomline: Great product, if you are looking for a nice looking, user friendly case.
Not a bad case

Pros: -Almost perfect fit
-Does a good job protecting my psp
(front and back)
-secure locking mechanism, feels like it will last.
Cons: -Analogue stick feels more tight around the edges from the case, even though it thins out around the stick.
-back side of the case doesnt completely follow the back of the slim psp through, where the slim psp is slightly curved in the handgrip area the case is slightly straighter and hence leaves a little gap. Minor annoyance for dust to get in i suppose.
-Naturally, it adds bulk. about the same thickness of the original psp.
Other Thoughts: As just mentioned it becomes the same thickness as the original psp, I bought this pouch to go with it:

Works very well, and the pouch is thick and gives extra protection.
Bottomline: This crystal case is not bad. Good value.
An okay case - some annoyances

Pros: -Tight and secure
-Fits PSP-2000 (slim) perfectly
-All ports and buttons accessible
Cons: -Clasp system a bit clunky
-Annoying loop above the nail grove for opening UMD slot makes it hard to open
-Came out of the package with scuffs where the screen is supposed to be (manufacturer's fault, not DealExtreme's - might just be an singular incident)
Other Thoughts: My first thought: The thing didn't come with instructions! Took me a minute to figure out the clasp system.
1)On the bottom of the case (the clunky part), pull the first long, flat clasp back toward the UMD door.
2)Undo the two remaining hook clasps
The thing has a hinged opening for the UMD door, but it's almost impossible to open without a tool or long nails because of a piece of plastic that loops over where the finger nail groove is. (Kind of defeats the purpose of having this door here.) I'm going to saw the little loop off first chance I get.
Bottomline: A bit awkward to use, but will save your PSP-2000 from a hard drop.
