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:
Bagpuss [URL]http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/bagpuss_100.jpg[/URL]
Mario [URL]http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/mario_100.jpg[/URL]
Castlevania [URL]http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/Castlevania_100.jpg[/URL]
Tombraider [URL]http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/tombraider_100.jpg[/URL]
Deathstar [URL]http://uk.geocities.com/[email protected]/starwars_100.jpg[/URL]

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...

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

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?

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.

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...

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

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