Here's some pictures of the case I got from target today.




The bottom of the case is pretty firm, while the top has a bit more cushion. A small drop might not concern me too bad (it does come with a carabiner and a wrist strap attached ot the case), but I wouldn't put a ton of weight on it.


The game holder protects the screen (fabric on the bottom), and then there's a pocket on top for some accessories.


Holder folds out to hold 16 games, could probably hold memory cards too.


The picture in the case shows how the game holder can be folded into a holder/easel to rest the Vita on if you wanted to watch/play something.


It's got a pull strap to help lift the Vita out.


Bad picture of me holding the wrist strap, but it tucks in between the two halves of the case under a stretchy piece of fabric you should be able to see in the picture (and above pictures).

Pretty cool looking case. Not as clean looking as the FEB one.. but i personally don't like the FEB one.

Both of those items seem pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. I was actually looking for a good Vita case that would hold the power cords and games/accessories. So I might have to look into that one.

I bought it last night and it feels kind of cheap/flimsy. I bought it because I just needed something to protect the areas that are not covered the Sony screen protector. It does come with a removable back cover for the rear touch pad so that's a nice touch. It also has a little flap on the bottom that can be used as a stand. I don't have a Vita to test it on yet so there's not much else I can say. It should work for basic protection from scratches and fingerprints. I wouldn't expect this to save it from a fall though.

It's called a Game Traveler Case (as far as I can tell) and is made by RDS Industries, but it's an officially licensed product. It's Model PSV140. I'd post a pic or link (if I could find one), but I'm on my phone. Interent at my house is down for some reason, so I'll get to it whenever it comes back. Edit: Can't find it on target.com, but here is a link to it on another site. http://www.bluemouth.com.au/products/821

the part that goes over the screen doesnt seem like it will harm the screen?

and how much was it?

I just opened my Hori, and a quick note... the games are held in a flap, which is actually supposed to sit ON TOP of the Vita screen. The flap has soft material on the back where it touches the screen.

So, basically you place the Vita on the bottom of the case, and that game-holding flap lays on top of the system, soft side protecting the screen.

Other than that, without a Vita to throw in it, I can't vouch for the case. It seems pretty large, so I hope there isn't a lot of play if you aren't using it in conjunction with another protector. Kinda smells, too. As long as the Vita is snug, I'd say it's a good 'toss it in a bag' case. This thing definitely isn't fitting in a pocket.

Oh, and I picked up the blue... the black is nice, but the red trim on it made it look goofier than the blue to me.

Damn that case from Target looks nice.. I've already gotten the PDP one from GameStop for free though and it seems good enough. Sure wish they had that one in stock though. Sick looking overall and would store the AC adapter.

How'd you get it for free?

I've not seen the Vita in person, but I don't see why the part that would cover the screen would harm it. Seems to be a microfiber-ish material that isn't likely to scratch on its own. To be fair, I will be getting a Hori screen protector anyways.

And it was $19.99.

I'm not sure if it's big enough to store the AC adapter or not, though I'm sure it could hold the usb/transfer cable. I'll have to try next week when I get mine to see if it fits and can shut comfortably.

Yeah I ended up getting that Uncharted case from Zavvi also. It was just too damn awesome to resist. Thanks for pointing out that Zavvi website man!

My bad, I get GameStop gift cards for doing surveys on e-Rewards which was going to a game that was not in stock at GameStop. I used it on the case instead.

Which one did you get? The crystal case or pull n go?

I think I might go with the Pull n Go--dunno about the front bumpy texture, but I like the way it can house all my accessories, games and unit in the same place.

I went looking for this case at 2 of my Targets, and came up with zip. I'm going to go back on Wednesday, and pick it up after work. It looks like the perfect case for me!

I just was at a Target in Cottage Grove, MN and they had 1 of these cases as well so it does seem to not be a case that is regional or anything (I bought mine in Baton Rouge, LA).

Both stores did only have 1 case though, so they may get stocked in limited supplies. Target does seem to group all PSP/PSV(and maybe PS3) accessories together, so be sure you don't overlook it. Also, given the dearth of early Vita action at Target (they seem to only want to sell games starting Wed) some stores may just be late getting this stuff on the shelf.

Saw the case at 2 Targets. They had black/gray and black/blue. Also in Louisiana.

Another Louisianan, what part do you live in?

Ah, good to know. Thanks for the info! I'll try and get one as soon as I can. Like I said, that case seems to be right up my alley. I checked the PSP/PS3 accessory section (if you want to call it that lol) and it was a no go. I asked an associate at both stores if they had any Vita stuff in stock, and they nearly laughed at me haha. I can't wait till Wednesday!

Close to Hammond.

At both Targets it was next to pdp crystal case, bottom left row with ps3 accessories. I will probably pick it up with my $20 gc from Target for preordering on Wednesday
