"Pimp your Pocket"

Got a Playgear Pocket?

Well, the in thing at the moment is to mod these with your own designs.

You can get a Photoshop template here: [URL]http://img224.echo.cx/img224/6728/doubleskin1004ro.jpg[/URL]

and there are whole forums dedicated to this 'artform'.

I've been designing some myself, which you can find below:

Just download them and print them out. The size is already correct, but check your software doesn't try to stretch or fit to screen (try selecting 'actual size')

Oh, and printing them on Photo paper gives the best results.

Have a go yourselves...

Yes, padded inside, hard as nails on the outside.

And yes, it's slightly bulkier than the soft case, but not too much. The good thing is that it has spaces for the power lead, headphones and shoulder buttons, so you can listen to music with the lid closed or play the PSP with the lid open and acting as a sun shield.

It really is a nice piece of kit, get it!

So this case doesn't make the whole thing any bulkier than when using the included soft case?

Is it padded inside? One of the bonuses of the soft case is that it is gentle to the unit and doesn't scratch it.

Well I do that anyway, but...

That looks so cool. I didnt have a clue what a playgear pocket was at first and just thought you were going insane.

Na, I can see the appeal but I prefer not to. And a Bagpuss case on the train will attract even more weird looks.

A very nice case for holding your PSP.

Only SR don't sell them, so I'm not linking to another site. Just go to a site that sells PSPs and look for them...

whats a Play gear Pocket?

Mine came off easily. I currently have the Spiderman cover on my Pocket, looks very nice too and different enough for people to notice it. The hardest part is taking the pictures back out without bending them.

There are so many posts in the topic in other forums, I'm astonished nobody here seems interested in modding their case.

It's a great case, a worthy replacement for the soft pouch when travelling. Whack it against the wall and it still won't break. The black cushioning isn't exactly easy to tear off though, is it?

Perhaps after seeing your Bagpuss effort, people are too embarrased to show what they're doing :D
