Review of PSP UMD Soft Case - Colors May Vary

There are two glaring differences between the PSP UMD soft case by Intec and the official Sony brand. Intec's soft case is well...soft while Sony's case is made of hard plastic. The other difference is price of course.

This UMD soft case acts more like a traditional CD/DVD wallet offering plastic sleeve inserts which you can easily slide your UMD's into. The draw backs to many UMD cases currently on the market is that they hold hold so few UMD's for the price the consumer has to pay. And this particular soft case is no exception to that rule...holding up to 8 UMD's. This matches the number of UMD discs the official brand can hold but at a reduced price. Now you can argue that this might be because Sony wants you to pay more for their name brand. Sony want's around 3 dollars more than the soft case by Intec (as of now). But then you have to factor in the idea that their cases are made of hardened plastic which is more durable and thus, offers better over all protection. The trade off for three extra bucks is fair enough. If you want to try to be a little more compact so as to squeeze as much PSP content into one bag or system travel case, I believe the soft case variety to be the better option.

The decision is purely aesthetic here. It's more about asking yourself if you would like maximum protection offered by Sony's brand, or optimal traveling convenience offered by Intec. Both are good enough to serve either purpose however.
