(Source: http://www.i4u.com/section-viewarticle-103.html)
Vaja sent their new stylish leather case i-volution for the Sony PSP. This luxury Sony PSP case was first announced in June and is now selling online from the Vaja store. The Vaja i-volution case for the Sony PSP starts at $180 and can also be personalized. Read my review below to find out if this leather case is worth the luxury class price. Visit also the photo gallery with
hi-res photos of this PSP case.
Overview
When I first reported about the Vaja i-volution I already knew I need to get my hands on one. Here it is in my hands now and I am not disappointed. The leather is smooth and has a great feel to it. The molded shape that exactly fits the Sony PSP give the Vaja i-volution case this futuristic and modern look. Vaja sent me a black and yellow colored model. On the Vaja site you can choose your color combination or also just a single color from tons of available colors. The yellow is a great choice and works as you can see in the photos well with the black Sony PSP.
The Vaja i-volution case has cut-outs for power, headphones, power switch, wi-fi switch, memory stick slot and UMD slot. On top the case is wrapping itself around the edges of the PSP leaving all game buttons easy to access. The Vaja case is designed to be left on the Playstation Portable. No need to take it off. The case has a magnetic closure. Inside the top cover are 3 memory stick sleeves. There is no space for an additional UMD, but that would also make the case bulkier.
The case is very sturdy on top and bottom and it also has thin padding under the leather. The case gives me the feeling that my shiny Sony PSP is well protected. The smart designed case is also very easy to put onto the PSP. It is closed by two buttons on the backside. Playing with the PSP with the case on is not different than without. It feels a bit heavier. I find it actually a bit better to hold as the case makes the console a bit thicker. The top cover stays attached when playing. The design is such that the fingers on the back do not touch the open cover.
The Vaja Sony PSP case also functions as table stand. This is a smart feature and is cool for watching videos on the PSP. This is not a hundred percent stable though as it is not fixated. So if somebody rocks the table the stand folds. It works but it is not solid solution.
Conclusion
The Vaja i-volution leather case for the Sony PSP is beautiful and is definitely a fitting luxury accessory for the Sony PSP. The craftsman's ship is outstanding on the leather case. The combination of real leather with a modern form gives the case it's unique look. The design is smart and the case can be left on at all times, but it is also easy to remove. All in all if you want to have a real good and stylish leather case then the Vaja i-volution is for you. It is absolutely worth the steep price. If you just want the table stand feature than maybe a dedicated PSP table stand is a saver choice.
