The PSP Pod is made of the right stuff.

Over the years, we've gotten letters from soldiers stationed in Iraq, and they've talked about how hard the place is on electronics gear--and I'm not talking bullets and bombs, but just the raw elements (dust, sand, and so on...). Well, I just noticed this item on PSP Fan Boy (http://www.pspfanboy.com/2007/07/24/military-grade-psp-case-only-100/): a $100 military-style PSP case from TAD Gear (http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/gear%20organizers%20main/tad_psp_pod.htm) that claims to be military-grade. A note on the site (http://www.tadgear.com/x-treme%20gear/gear%20organizers%20main/tad_psp_pod.htm)about the PSP Pod reads:
"This is a very special, limited custom run of nylon accessory pouches. These PSP Pods were produced at the request of some our associates and customers deployed overseas. The Sony PSP has become a common sight in many a soldiers' kit these days. The PSP has become ideal for personal entertainment for many while in transit or stuck at barracks. This is built with MILSPEC construction and materials thru-out. There is no sturdier, better built, and versatile storage pouch for the PSP available anywhere. TAD Gear is not a video game store, but we clearly see the merits of the PSP as a personal electronic device and wanted to offer this very special case to carry yours. Due [to] the high cost of production it is highly unlikely we will produce these again."
A hundred bucks is a lot to spend on a case, but it looks pretty sweet, and I suspect a few civilian commuters might pick one up for that rough train or bus ride between the 'burbs and the big city.

Fairly sweet case.. but $100?

I'd take my chances on needing to buy a new PSP eventually..

I wonder if the PSP Slim would just slip out of it.

It probably would.

I like it, but not enough to spend $100 on it.

oh this is fucking bullshit. this is not even remotely military grade. it's freaking nylon for christ sake.

military grade means water proof, crush proof, shock proof, protection from extreme temperatures, can drop from 5 feet onto concrete, etc. this is just a military style pouch that happens to fit the psp. $100? blow me.
