Customer Reviews of Sony PSP Ultimate Game and UMD Case

One word....Pringles!
Before you buy any of these over-priced carrying cases that hold just 3, 4, or 8 UMDs, try some cheap but safe alternatives! Another reviewer mentioned how he used to keep his UMDs in an Altoid Mint tin -- that's a GREAT idea, but the tin is just big enough to about 5 UMDs. So I did a some thinking of what else might work and, soon I thought of those short Pringles chip cans! I wasn't certain if the can would be a perfect fit or not but, like an excited geek, I hopped right in my car & drove up to the corner convenience store! For less than $1.50, I bought a 2.8-ounce can of Pringles, took it home, dumped the chips out (well, I ate a few but -- in any case...), then I cleaned out the can with just water & paper towels, then dropped 1 UMD in there. It's ALMOST a perfect fit. The UMD sits slightly tilted (just a little bit) but, good enough! So then I placed my other UMDs in there...a total of 11, and there's still room for about 11 more! ...Until I buy more UMDs, I don't want these ones to be rattling around in there, so I crumpled up a paper towel and placed that on top. It's something soft which keeps the UMDs from moving around much. ...perfect! <
>The only other thing I can think of that would make an even better "carrying case", is a racquetball can, because those are made of a strong aluminum, however, I don't have one of those on-hand so don't know if the UMDs would fit quite as well. ...Anwyay, you get the idea -- there are much cheaper alternatives out there which will hold much more than just 3, 4, or 8 UMDs! ....If anybody thinks of other ideas, please test out your idea and, if it works, then post here for the rest of us to read. :)

It's affordable...and certainly feels like it
Akin to most Intec accessories for the PSP, this is another instance of 'you get what you paid for.' While all of these Intec products technically 'work,' none, however, are either high quality nor equal to only slightly higher priced alternatives. <

>Yes, this DOES hold games. It's likewise durable being made of hardened plastic. <
>Still, this same hardened plastic, game/memory holder is nothing more than low-end plastic molding with tabs shaped like UMD and memory sticks. The same style of case often used to package products...let alone encapsulate and protect them. (For this same reason, I often ponder what would happen if Intec spent more time on finished product, less on hardshell, retail packaging.) <

>If you lose a tab or two from some accidential jostling, that UMD slot becomes ineffective. Ditto on too much pressure applied to the outside tab used to keep the case shut. <

>Still, this is one very affordable, short term fix for transporting UMD disks through airports, short trips, related. For long term solutions, however, I advise ponying the additional $5-10 dollars for better manufacturing quality.
