I've actually had my eye on this case for a while now. Since you have it, I have a quick question for ya. Will a Vita with basic grips fit in the case as is or would the grips need to be removed?
You will need to remove the grips. I do not own a set of grips, so I do not know how large they would be in comparison to the case itself. If they aren't *too* much larger than the actual Vita, then you
may be able to position them in a way, with the charging cables in their pouch in a specific way, but I do not know for sure...sorry
Aside from that though, I love the case because of it holding everything I need for my vita - 23 games, 2 mem cards, charging cables, battery pack, and features inner removable case when you need a smaller solution. It's not hard plastic, but it's not soft either. I've dropped the whole case, and even the smaller case, and my Vita has been perfect each time. I do NOT recommend playing baketball with the case though, that
might be a little too extreme with it
I actually never got around to playing the beta. Hopefully they've fixed the issues for the final release.
You, me, and many others! Post your impressions when you can, if you don't mind please!
I just finished and platinum'd my first Vita games: Gravity Rush, VLR and Tearaway. Loved them, really amazing games. Tearaway in particular is mind-blowingly good considering how few people worked on the game.
Now to decide what to buy next.
Nice!!! Congrats! Gravity Rush was my first Plat, followed by Unit 13. Got SSD to 100%, but no plat. Working on Tearaway and NFS: MW now. Games to get - Hot Shots Golf World Invitational, Wipeout 2048, Shinobido 2. I'm a launch game enthusiast
And all 3 of those will take you a whiiiile to Plat, if you are up for a challenge.
Just a note on this. If you buy a 'galaxy tab' USB converter from ebay for almost nothing, you can use that to convert your Vita cable into one that will charge from any USB socket. So you can use any portable battery chargers or mains chargers. I have one permanently attached to my vita cable in my backpack so I can charge anywhere - and a third party battery pack.
That is awesome...thanks for the tip! I'll definitely check it out. I just had to get a new car (thanks to someone deciding to redesign the back of mine with their car), and I have a USB port in it. That'd save me from picking up a car charger, one of the only things I have been wanting, but never had a desire to get. That, and the official stand, but I am getting closer to pulling that proverbial trigger on the stand.
