Quality/Usability : The concept of this case is pretty much the same as of that of the
Capdase Twin Case
that was reviewed. But the Waterfield Pouches take on a whole new look.
The cases are made in San Francisco, California..thats right, no
overseas manufacturers. Made in the good ole US of A. The PSP Pouches
are built from rugged Ballistic nylon, offer ample padding, and secure
zippers and seams. Each case has two handy loops for easier carrying or
for strapping to your backpack or messenger bag - one vertical loop and
one horizontal loop. Both cases (Gear Pouch and Mini Gear Pouch) come
in a variety of colors and are priced just as you'd expect.
Gear Pouch
The Gear Pouch measures - 9.75" x 5" x 2". It is the perfect size for
those of us who want to bring along more than just our PSP. The pouch
features a padded and lined compartment for your PSP; a main
compartment for the AC adapter, power cord and USB cable; slots for UMD
games, movies and more; and a zippered front compartment with various
slots for things like Memory Sticks and miscellaneous. The case offers
so much room that you can fit other items such as your wallet, cash,
coins and even spare AA/AAA batteries for your CD player or digital
camera. Whats even more of a shocker is that you can place your PSP
into a Logitech PlayGear case (if you own own) and still be able to
place it inside the Gear Pouch. Thats how much room there is!
Mini Gear Pouch
The Mini Gear Pouch is slightly smaller and measures - 7.7" x 3.5" x
1.3". This is more aimed for those who want to bring only the
essentials and not the whole house. The Mini Gear is identical to its
bigger pouch with nearly the same layout but lacks an outside zippered
pocket. Inside the case, it has a soft, lined compartment for the PSP
and an open middle area that can easily hold a USB cord, an extra
battery, earphones and memory sticks. The PSP Mini Gear Pouch also has
two slots that can fit several UMD games/movies and a few extra things.
Unfortunately, since the case is small, there will be no room for the
power adapter unless you take out the PSP.
Conclusion : This is probably one of the nicest cases out there.
Nothing too fancy and nothing too boring. It does its job and probably
more. You dont have to hold your PSP and accessories in here, you can
use it for other items such as your digital camera or other
electronics, but than whats the point of calling this a PSP Gear Pouch?
The sizes of the pouch may turn consumers head away because it does
kind of look like a clutch bag that your girlfriend or mother would
carry around in their hands. But if you want a nice case to hold your
PSP and accessories all in one place, than thats the price we'll have
to pay.
