There is really nothing major to complain about here when you look at the price for what you get. First, the case is solid. It feels sturdy enough for basic home storage and that's all I wanted. I wouldn't call it a great travel case for the reason I'll go into next. The only negative I'd add to it is that the pouch doesn't really seem to be able to hold much more than game and memory cards *without putting pressure on the Vita when closed*. Even the added cord in the pouch is big enough to not comfortably close the case without it really pressing on the Vita itself (which I'd strongly recommend to not do). It will close but it feel slightly too small/tight to be a good travel case. As a travel case alone I'd give it about 3 stars as you'd probably want to pack the charger and other accessories somewhere else. They just wouldn't fit and if you got them in there with the Vita it likely wouldn't be good for the Vita. That said, it's a solid case for the price and exactly what I was looking for. The case feels robust and has a nice texture to it. I'm giving it 5 stars due to not buying it as an all-in-one travel case but a basic storage case. I can put my cards, charge cables, etc somewhere else. My concern was having a case to protect my Vita when not in use (or very basic travel) and this is terrific for that alone. Further, you get an SD2VITA card and USB data transfer/charge cable (not the power brick) included with it! Great deal for the price as I was in the market for an SD2VITA card anyway. Of course, I'll update my review should some issues arise but as is I'm very happy with this bundle for what I paid. I highly recommend this case *for basic home storage* and bundle for the price.

Charge cable works perfectly, the case fits the PS Vita nice and snug with the protective divider keeping the storage area well seperated from the Vita. Enough room for the charge cable and a USB power box, a screen wipe, and the case for the SD2Vita and more there are soft slots for Vita game storage as well for those trips where you want to have more than one game on hand. Overall I'm happy with this purchase, great kit for a good price! Read more
So I read the other reviews and I had my concerns, but to get a comparable kit piecemeal was over 2x the cost, so I decided to take a chance. Here are my thoughts on the individual parts of the kit, and whether I think the kit has value. Case - 4/5 The case is different from the slick cover case in the pictures. Several have posted about the case, and have showed pictures, and with the kit I got, it does have a different case as well. But I actually don't mind. It is a little larger than you might expect, but you are able to store things like the charger in a zippered pouch, and yes, you can store all 3 pieces of the Vita 1000 charger in this case. That is nice. It feels sturdy enough, and I suspect it would protect my Vita from drops. One reviewer noted that the case didn't seem right for the Vita, but my Vita 1000 model fits perfect. I also like that the middle insert that you can put games in actually covers the entire screen to keep anything in the pouch from scratching it. SD2Vita - 4/5 This was honestly one of the main reasons I bought this kit. I had ordered the SD2Vita from Funturbo, but after 3 weeks, it didn't ship and Amazon asked me if I wanted to cancel the order, and I did. I don't know what else to say other than this adapter works. You have to have a modded Vita, and I am using YAMT with a Samsung EVO MicroSD card, but it works great for me. I now have 128Gb of storage. Do I think it will last a bunch of insertions? No. But I don't suspect that any of them will. My intention is to put the MicroSD card in and leave it, and put the adapter into my cartridge slot and leave it. I can transfer all of my files over FTP with Filezilla and Vita Shell. But for now, it works. Cable - 2/5 This was honestly the most disappointing part of the kit. It is listed as a charge and data cable in the kit description, but it is only a charging cable. It is longer than the standard cable that came with the Vita 1000 though, so that is a plus. But I had intended to use this cable with a 3D printed dock so I can dock my Vita to a TV and play with a DS4, but I won't be able to do that now since this isn't a data cable. The cable is also a little too tight. It does make me a little nervous to use, and I might not use it much anyway. It does fit, and it does charge, but it is very tight. I'd take extra care when using this cord. All in all, if the charging cable had been listed as a charge only, I wouldn't feel so cheated. The case is different from what is pictured, but I don't think that is a bad thing, as it seems like a decent, if not slightly bulky, case to me. The SD2Vita just works, but I don't expect it to last if you plan to remove it a ton. I plan to set it and forget it. For $15, this is a decent deal, if you know what you are actually getting. The case isn't the same as the picture, but it is still good. The SD2Vita is the same as all of the others you can buy. And the charging cable is charge only, no data. But if you are willing to either use it as a charge cable only, or buy another for data, that is just fine. Personally, I like the kit, I am just a little let down that the cable doesn't work for data, since I can't use it to stream the video out. Read more
Nice hard shell case for PS Vita. It is fairly sizeable so it may fit okay inside a jacket pocket but definitely not a pants pocket. The Vita fits snugly inside the case, face up or face down is your choice. A large mesh pocket inside can store several game cards, and small accessories like memory cards and usb connection cable without the charger attachment. It zippers open and closed and offers protection from liquid spillage and weather conditions but definitely not submersible water protection. An internal soft flap can be used to separate and protect the Vita's screen and/or shell from any additional contents that may be stored within the case's mesh pocket. Read more
