Rocketfish Vault. Wanted a cheap hard case. It gets the job done.

I use the same one. It definitely takes up a lot of room when packing it on trips, but I feel it is a very solid case.

This monster by PDP.

Enough space for 8 physical games, 2 extra mem cards, and is a solid case that can take some abuse. I don't travel much anymore but I do not fear my vita getting damaged with that case.

This is the one I use. You can customize it via the front and back inlays, too.

I use this, lol

I've got that. Works great. I have plenty of room to carry multiple cart cases

I had this one but I didn't care for it because every time you took it out (or put it in) it felt like the zipper was scratching the front/back.

Nice thread. Very helpful

It isn't a case, but this keeps my vita safe where ever I go!

What is this, maybe would help keep my hands from going numb while playing

Stemming off from the 3DS XL thread here, I was wondering what Vita cases you guys use?

I'm in the market for a good case, but it's usually hard to trudge through the crap that's out there.

This is my current one, it's pretty great, but doesn't offer much protection if dropped on a hard surface.

I use the same one you do. Got it in the Vita Starter Kit (which I bought for this case, the screen protector and the puny 4GB memory card).

I highly recommend getting one of these cases to carry your games:

Hori makes an identical case for 3DS games as well:

The reason the Vita one costs more is because it's only sold in Japan. But these cases are so worth it.

I have that case. Dropped it in a parking garage, on to cement, from waist height (I'm 5'11"/ 180cm). It sprang open on impact and ejected my Vita about 3 feet away. Nothing too serious, just dents on the triggers and a few on the metal edge frame (screen was unharmed, phew!). Anyways, it's anecdotal, but caveat emptor. It's great as far as storage and protection from casual damage while you're Vita sits at home. Just don't drop it.

The latch on this thing is garbage. I used to stick an elastic band around mine, the lid opens at the slightest provocation.

Good case though, that one catastrophic flaw aside!

You can't do stuff like this with the PDP case. The latch is just too unreliable.

Ok, wow. I haven't had this issue yet but I will keep my eye on it though. Thanks!

I use the Hori hard cases for my 3DS XL and Vita, both have worked great so far.

I have this nyko power armor case the "power" part is misleading its just a metal shell with foam lining. The lid is spring loaded, so you press the button on the bottom and it flips open. The rear touch panel is inaccessible and its not really comfortable to hit the triggers while its in there. It's not secured inside in any way so you can just pull it out quickly. Honestly though, I've never taken the vita out of my house.

I have the same case. It's fantastic in that it's hard, has stick cutouts and is ultra low profile.
It's barely bigger than the Vita so I can keep it in my pocket. It probably won't protect from a drop of more than a few feet but it's still the best thing I've tried.
