A Quality Case – Proporta Clear Plastic Face Cover
Proporta is a little-known company that makes cases and accessories for all kinds of electronics. Little do most consumers know that Proporta makes the best cases out there. An indestructible, scratch-resistant, shatter-resistant case is essential for keeping your PSP around longer than a month. Proporta's clear plastic PSP case is an inexpensive, quality solution for those who tend to drop things. You won't need to worry about anything getting scratched or broken with this case. We put it to the test by throwing it on the ground, riding over it with a bike, dropping it out of a one-story window, and many other cruel endeavors. The PSP survived without a scratch and worked perfectly when we booted it up. Proporta.com - $15.65 USD
