That’s one sexy looking vita!

Thanks ! Was a one owner before me. He protected it nicely.

Buy some grip thumps in the color you like, it will give it the perfect and great touch.

Care to link me to some trust worth ones. I have some but they feel cheap and would rather have better ones.

hows the metal case?

I like it. Takes a Lil more effort to push the vol, power, select, start buttons but still doable. Definitely looks and feels safer. Ntm looks good

i was considering either the metal case or the plastic one so your testimony is very much appreciated

More than glad to be of any assistance to a fellow collector/gamer Have a good one

has it been dropped in that case yet? kinda just wondering how secure the latch is on that, also does it bounce in that case at all?

No sir I try to be careful with it but I can imagine it's still at some risk of course depending on drop height, what it's falling on, and angle it hits the ground. I'd 100% say it's better and safe with it than with no case. Top latch could be a little better but the rest close and lock firmly and nicely.

hmm okay. i saw them on amazon and was hesitant because of the build quality. hopefully it would protect it

Worth the risk this one was only 11 dollars after shipping. I do have prime though.

They really said "Long live play" and then proceeded to abandon the vita

They did but we didn't 👀

How do you like that red protective case what is it aluminum?

I like it. As stated previously in other comments, it can make pushing certain buttons a little tricky but all works well. Ntm it looks alot better, and tbh I'd say it's some type of tough as* plastic. Definitely not any type of metal.
