Review of Playstation 2 Slim Travel Case

This ALS industries system travel case is small, has a well constructed design with quality material, and is priced fairly enough. A truly modest travel case for a modest value. Your going to have ample room to place the PS2 Slim control deck, one or two controllers, and it's power adapter and A/V cables. That all seems pretty fair right?.... but it's not without it's flaws. Yes you can fit all of the above into this smallish case, but then you'll find it fairly difficult to snap the case shut when it's being stretched to full capacity. Additionally, it's design over emphasizes "compactness" but forgoes "completeness". In order to scale back on bulk and size, they simply threaded two spandex style pockets on the left and right sides of the case where you are meant to place your A/V cables, and the plug portion of the power adapter. This looks a little tacky which is really only a minor gripe, but it most importantly leaves these components revealed and vulnerable to the elements. S-video cables (or component video) which are meant to replace lesser quality composite cables, will have a much harder time fitting into the side pouches due to the cable being thicker or with more connectors than the pouches want to allow room for. I was immediately surprised to find absolutely no fishnet pockets inside the inner flap for supporting memory cards...a trend ALS usually covers with most of their travel cases. This travel case lacks attention to detail and offers only moderate system organization and protection. It's a bit tacky and lackluster in general. That's not to say it's an awful bag. It serves it's purpose...but that's about all it does too.

With this travel case you'll get:

1) A durable travel case which offers decent system protection just not EXCELLENT protection

2)A bare bones basic design...will fit the PS2 Slim package albeit barely

3)Spandex pouches on the sides are only practical in the since that they can hold your cords and cables....doesn't technically "protect" them though since it's all left in the open.

4)PS2 Slim console fit?...check. 2 controllers fit?...check. All cables, cords, power adapters fit?...check. Important accessories like your memory cards?...uhhhh WHOOPS!

...Bottom line is there is certainly better out there than this, though they want more dough for those cases. This is a nice budget case and gets the job done...just don't ask for nothing fancy.
