Capdase Luxury Hard Case Review

The Capdase Luxury Hard Case draws its concept from the Logitech Playgear Pocket Case. At first glance, it looks sleek with an aluminium top, and a rubberized bottom construction, and it feels light and rather thin, but still feels sturdy enough.

The aluminium top looks like it should stand up to some rough handling over time. The rubberized bottom is thinly coated and have some grip for your fingers too. However, because of this thinly coated rubber, it will wear off over time. So, if you accidetally scratch the bottom with your keys, it is going to leave a mark.



Opening up the case, you will find the top portion is padded and there is a provision for 2 memory sticks. Nice touch, but once again, I feel that the padding is a bit too thin as well. Running your fingers along the top padding, you can actually feel the contruction underneath it.

The bottom of the inner case is once again coated with thin rubber, and it does a good job holding your PSP snugly in place. Even the sides which clip on to your PSP is coated with rubber. This is good because you will not want your PSP scratched when removing it out of the case, and this does the job fine. Once the PSP is in place, it is secure, and will not fall off.

So like the Playgear Pocket, with the top cover fully closed, it protects the PSP almost 100% except for the provision for the earphone jacks, the memory stick access, the power button, and the right/left trigger controls.In comparison however, you will notice that this case is lighter and less bulky.

Turning the case to the back, you will notice that it has a door for you to access your UMD. It is of a plastic and rubbery feel once again, but not too flimsy. This door can connect to the front case when opened to form a stand for you to watch movies on your PSP as well. Neat design. The only flaw on this stand if any is that, you cannot adjust the angle, so you have to watch your movie in one fixed position, whether you like it or not.

If you are looking for maximum protection so that you can throw yor PSP against a wall and still find it in one piece, I will not recommend this case. However, if you are looking for a slim line sleek case that does not add much bulk to your PSP, and still survive accidental drops, this case is ideal.
