No, you can’t use it to play the system while still encased, but trust me and the other reviewers here when I say that this is the superior official case for the PSP Go. The hard case is a poor fit for the system, whereas this thickly padded beauty is a discrete and secure way of carrying around your PSP Go system in luggage, other bags, or generally when you don’t want to stuff it in your pocket. I previously owned the soft padded slip case for the PSP 2000/3000 and I have to say that this is superior in terms of security and build quality.

Very well made product, especially to come from sony, who never made a decent original PSP case. Double zipped so you can plug in headphones or a charger while still in the case. Interior is very well made. There is a very slim chance of the zipper hitting the screen when you take it out/put it in, but the lowest level of care can avoid this. Open flap pocket on the front for a cleaning cloth, extra M2 card or whatever. It won’t hold much, but with the go, you don’t need much. No way to carry a charger, obviously, but I’d prefer the smaller size and there is certainly not a better choice out there yet. Highly recommended.

I was truly impressed with this soft case. I usually woudn’t waste my time with a review of a soft case, but this thing is great, and very well padded. Very confident in the design.

This case is a two-zipper side-open case. So if you’re holding the case like you would hold the PSP when gaming, the zipper threads go from the top center, around the left side (when the case’s logo is oriented properly), to the bottom center. Two zippers mean you can zip in either direction, based on preference–not that I care much, but I suppose someone might, if listening to the music and using headphones with it. (though you can’t access any buttons easily in there…)
The material is very nice, and VERY well padded. I read a review once where someone said they’d be willing to drop the thing 4-5 feet and not worry due to the casing. I thought to myself “what the hell is wrong with that guy?!?” But now, I know what he meant. (Note, I still won’t DO it, but I’m fairly confident it would survive without a scratch, based on how thick the padding is–hence why it’s HUGE and not pocket-sized in this pouch)
The outside of the pouch has an extra flap, where you can put a memory card, or if small enough, headphones, or something like that. My headphones fit, but they’re Shure earbuds, and the extension cable makes it a bit of a tight fit. I’m likely to carry them in their own case (Shure headphones come with their own zipper case as well) since I have it already, and as of right now I have no use for the extra flap on the outside of the Go’s soft pouch. It also doesn’t close up, but it’s a pretty tight flap, so I doubt anything would fall out easily unless you really toss it around. It also isn’t as padded, so it might be a concern if you carry your memory cards around without their plastic cases. (I don’t know anyone who does that though) I suppose if you had any reason, you could also carry something like a USB flash drive. But I’m sure you’re all clever enough to figure out how to use this flap!
Overall I’m really happy with this case as well. It likely wouldn’t be my “every day” case, but if I plan on traveling, it could definitely have its place. Even in my laptop bag which I bring to work daily, it seems worthwhile to put it in here. If I accidentally flip it upside down and the laptop winds up on top of the Go, I’m not concerned at all. The hard case would also probably be fine in this situation, but since I have a bumpy car ride, the repeated impacts would make me want the security blanket that is the soft pouch.

I purchased this case after some lengthy comparison with the others at a local best buy. The reason it took me so long, is that this case’s packaging is so huge, it makes the actual case look big too. Fear not, the case is actually pretty small, only a little bit larger than the Go. It is soft, cushy, has 2 zippers, and a small pouch on the outside to fit…umm…something. It does exactly what it is supposed to do and in as small a package as is conveniently possible. I wouldn’t want to change a thing about it, right down to that pouch. This is the best case out right now.
