5 Stars What can I say? Its Logitech
What else can you expect from Logitech, other than a 5 star product. Forget screen protectors with their “air bubbles”, dust around the edges, etc. This is what you want.

The item is a PERFECT FIT, and it works great. I already have a couple of scratches and dings on it, and all it means, that IT WORKS. Those dings and scratches would have been on my screen! It is very easy to wipe finger prints away from it.

You can put it on, and forget about it. You do not need to remove it to change out your memory stick, UMD, battery, put in a charger or headphones. The design and the quality is great!

Highly recommend.

Thanks for reading my review, I hope it was helpful.

1 Star Trash. Throw it out.
It was supposed to protect my screen but instead a speck of dust got under the screen and scratched up the glass. Do yourself a favor and get a peel on/off screen protector.

1 Star Horrible Product
I payed $10 for this product. At first I was pleased with the product, but after a month, my screen was damaged and still is. In fact a crack appeared as a result of the “screen protector”. Please do yourself a favor and avoid this product.

5 Stars Perfect
I am very happy with this and the people I bought it from. Very fast service and this is exactly what I wanted. Still looking for some screws to hold it on the PSP a little better. Don’t get me wrong it won’t move I just want to make sure it doesn’t move.

4 Stars Works ok with PSP slim, but is intended for the fullsize PSP
I bought this for my PSP slim and lite (PSP-2000), and while it works, this product was intended for the fullsize PSP. If you accidentally nudge one of the bottom catches while playing a game, it can send the protector flying (literally). While humorous, this does not help to protect the screen as the flying screen protector could boomerang back and hit the handheld.

However, after getting used to have the screen protector on the slim and lite, I no longer “eject” the protector. Also, there is still a small gap between the protector and the handheld case, potentially allowing dust to get between the screen and protector. Overall, for X dollars, it does the job.

4 Stars The Case That You Can Leave On!
I’ve owned the Logitech Playgear Pocket for my PSP (Fat version). It was a serviceable case that protected my system during transport. However, because the case was too clunky to play with it on, I was still required to remove the unit while playing. As a result, I still ended up with slight scratches on my system.

I recently purchased a PSP Slim and I was looking for a better solution for protection. My search on Google for “best PSP slim protection” returned the Joytron Crystal Skin case. I proceeded to read numerous reviews on the case – which were primarily positive experiences. I was particularly attracted to the extremely slim design, crystal clear plastic, and easy access to the essentials without the removal of the case (unlike the Logitech). So I plunked $[...] for the Joytron case. None of my local shops carry it, so I had to order it online through Amazon. [...]

Shipping was super fast with email communication. It comes in a box with Korean writing on it. English instructions were provided inside. I also received a complimentary portable mini stand allowing me to prop up the PSP to watch movies on a table. One thing to remember is that the case does NOT protect the screen. This allows you to apply/replace a screen protector of your choice. I applied the Invisible Shield by Zagg to my screen prior to installing the case. Case was pretty easy to install. You just have to be careful not to damage the hooks that holds the pieces together…as they feel a bit fragile. Installation was very easy – it took about 15 minutes. Everything fits very snuggly around the system.

With the case on, my PSP Slim feels quite nice to play without very noticeable bulk. Paired with the Invisible Shield, I can confidently put it into my pocket quickly without juggling with a separate case. Offers protection from scratches and fingerprints. However, because of the slim design, it will not protect the PSP from drops. I highly recommend this case!

5 Stars Best PSP case ever!!!
Hey guys, I am doing a review for the system skin case from joytron for the psp slim. I know that you might have a new or already own a psp slim but you are afraid it will get scratches or dirty right? Well with the Joytron system skin case you wont need to worry about your psp getting those things. It is a crystal clear case that is almost unnoticeable and is very slim to go with the psp. Its is a very strong case and is recommended to anyone who has a psp. You will have access to all ports and buttons and will be able to open your umd door. The case comes in 4 pieces that are easy to install and hooks to the main front piece that goes on the front of the psp. One piece actually holds on the umd door itself so you can open it. Its not expensive and can be bought from nuritech.com. I have bought one from them and i am very glad i did. I had dropped my God Of War psp but luckily I had the case on and my psp had no damage and no scratches. I really recommend it.

5 Stars Amazing Case. Beats all the other cases.
Wow. I don’t know where to start with this product. It’s so amazing and so sleek. I love how it just snaps together in 4 pieces. Shipping was outstanding. It came in only 3 days!! When I first opened the package, I thought wow, cool box!! But when I took the case out, I thought “Oh wow, its going to be one of those junk cases!” I got pretty mad. But! When I firmly put it on my PSP, it was sooo cool! It maybe added a LITTLE weight, but it well protect your PSP for sure. Although, the hooks are EXTREMELY fragile, so let’s not forget that.

5 Stars Best Case Ever
I like the joytron case because unlike comparable cases it leaves all ports open. It is not bulky like the official sony case. It also has four pieces that fit perfectly onto the psp. I wouldn’t recommend dropping it but I did and it stayed on.

5 Stars Is it worth it? Yes it is.
I ordered a new Slim PSP special edition. So here I was with my brand new system that I wanted to protect. I began to shop around for skins-case that would protect my system while allowing me to show it off. I found the Sony clear plastic case that is designed for the Slim PSP… OMG is that thing huge. It literally defeats the purpose of the slim in my opinion. So I kept looking and found the Logitech version… same problem, its thick, very thick. Don’t get me wrong I am sure that they do a great job of protecting the PSP, but they were not what I was looking for. Just as I am about ready to give up on my search I came across an unknown (to me) name producing a clear skin that they promote as Slim… I did a little checking and reading up on the product and figured that it was probably about as close as I could come to what I wanted. So I ordered it. I found it on eBay and thought well several feedbacks from them said that the seller was a good dealer, didn’t see anything to put me off. When I saw that it had free shipping I started to think “oh no” but I went ahead and got it. First let me say that I paid on Monday, and with the free shipping they offered… it was here Wednesday, already a good start. I opened the brown box and found what surprised me. Considering what I paid for the skin the quality of the box was very high. I know what you’re thinking, what does the box have to do with it, but consider this, they didn’t have to spend the money to make a quality box if they knew they were selling something cheap. So I opened the box that actually contained the skin and pulled out a funny kind of sticky but not really piece of plastic that had wrapped up my new skin. I began to unwrap my skin and my first impression was “wow this thing is thin, and it seems kind of flimsy” but that was before I installed it. Installation was about as simple as it can get. When I had it in place, (4 parts, a few simple snaps, and a quick polish before I began) I no longer had the impression that it was a cheap product. I began to see exactly why they went the way they did with their design. My PSP still feels thinner then an original PSP. It does not feel any heavier. Best of all, It does exactly what I wanted. I can still connect each and every cable, strap, and device I used to connect before the skin was installed. I can still place my PSP on my docking station to charge it while I watch videos on my HDTV. My PSP still fits in my hand dock charger that extends battery life with giving a better grip. I barely even notice it’s on there, that is until I drop my PSP (about 2 feet) and have an instant “OH CRAP” reaction. I picked it up and did a very thorough inspection. I found the scratch, on my new skin. It saved my PSP. That right there is why I bought this skin and it has already paid for itself. Oh and by the way, even though my skin is scratched, it did not crack and still protects exactly as it used to. The only thing that could make this skin better would be to include a LCD protector with it. That’s not a big deal they sell those too. So do yourself (and your PSP) a favor and pick up one of these and a screen protector. You won’t be disappointed, oh and they come in various color styles if you don’t like the clear.

10 out of 10

Thank you Joytron.

5 Stars The perfect product for the perfect portable game system
I do not think I can improve on what has been said about this case already. I just wanted to add my vote of 5 stars.

Joytron has created a brilliant product that allows the beauty of the PSP to show through, while protecting it in a case that does not interfere with game play or add any additional weight. The thin shell and clasps may look weak, but they are very strong. The tolerances they had to match on the UMD door is amazing. You would not think you could snap any type of cover to the door, but these folks figured it out. I am sure it was not an easy feat, as many cases leave the UMD door uncovered for this reason.

It was even nice to find a handwritten note in the box thanking me for my order and asking me to let them know if I had any questions or problems. You will not be disappointed when you receive this case.

Just a note, the case fits to very close tolerances. If it seems that the clasps are not locking, be sure to apply a little extra pressure to the connection and use your fingers to slightly shift the joining pieces in opposite directions, left or right, until they lock with a click. The clasps have to engage exactly or they will not lock. Once locked in place, it will not come apart unless you want it to.

(The reason this case does not show up in the case search is that it is categorized as a game instead of an accessory. Amazon take note.)

5 Stars Best PSP slim case out there
I just purchased at psp and was looking for a case that would protect my new toy from scratches. Looking around at the local game shops, all I can find were unattractive bulky cases. Online, I managed to find cases which you had to lift the top up to allow access to the buttons. After some looking, I found my answer, the Joytron Skin Case. It fits the psp perfectly and does not add extra bulk of heft to it. The product allows for access to each and every button, which is excellent.

The case has 4 parts. the umd cover, 2 back pieces, and the front plate. The only thing I could not find in the box was a set of instructions, but assembly is pretty straight forward. If you own a psp and want it to look slick, buy this product! you can’t find it anywhere in stores so you will have to order it online.

Shipping is excellent. They processed my purchased and shipped the next day. I paid the extra 5 bucks or so to get priority mail and it came in 2 short days.

One last comment. Props to the people at Nuritech. This is the first time i received a piece of mail with a hand written thank you. It even had a smiley face. Not just a mass produced thank you, a hand written one.

Go get it!!!

5 Stars Easy as Pie!
Looking for protection from scratches and fingerprints for your psp?

This is for you….

Read on for examples of its greatness!

Its easy to install and is like a second skin for your psp 2000.

Nice that it doesn’t hinder your fingers from buttons while gaming.

I liked how it just fits like a glove around the unit so nicely.

Unit and Skin case are like bun to hamburger they are meant for each other.

Things to note are:

The clamps or hooks are small that keep this together, so install with caution, so as not to break them.

This is not to protect from falls, just scratches, dings and finger prints.

4 Stars Great product
Very good product and the seller provided very good service. I would by for them again.

5 Stars Perfect Protection
The case looks and works exactly as described! It is very low profile so it doesn’t get in the way of the controls, which is something I was afraid of. The UMD door cover is a great idea and so far the locking tabs have held up extremely well. I really like the look of this case on my PSP, not to mention the added protection it offers. I still haven’t seen any other case out there that offers the same protection without being too bulky.
