(Like most, I was baffled by the 'fun' rating here, but opted for 5 stars because I've had fun with this product by proxy, playing games with it attached.)
I can't better the previous highest-rated review for explaining the product's benefits, but Amazon won't stop emailing me about reviewing it so I will say this for posterity: it is extremely bulky. Personally I love this, and prefer playing with it on the PSP to without (the slim is very, well, slim) as it gives it a size and depth akin to a 360 controller or similar.
However, from the sleek and shiny pictures, I hadn't really given thought to just how big this thing would be. To clarify: it transforms your PSP Slim into something you could kill a man with. Doing so will almost certainly void your warranty, so I'll assume that's a negative for most people - it certainly was for me. The PSP Slim is roughly pocketable, even if it does make you look VERY pleased to see people; with this case on, however, it becomes strictly a handbag/rucksack affair. Or possibly a trenchcoat, if that's your thing (they have enormous pockets). What I'm trying to say is, it turns it into a brick.
The benefit is obvious - I can honestly say I'd feel safe dropping this thing onto concrete from a height. I haven't because the case would be ruined in the process, but I'm confident the PSP would be undamaged. It's that robust.
A final word: if you're NOT concerned about overall shock protection and are ONLY worried about screen protection, a possible alternative is the Thrustmaster battery pack that's also available on Amazon. I chose this instead, but it was a close thing and I may buy one of those as well - they're an extra 2 battery lives, like this case they make the PSP more ergonomic to hold, and they fold over to protect the screen. Worth a thought.

I've been using Amazon for so many years, and this is the first time I've wanted to take the time to actually write a review (even if it is short :)).
This is a very solid, attractive case. For the price, it is amazing. I don't have a single bad thing to say about it. I just really like it.

Got this case after reading the reviews here. It's very solid and well made, and holds the PSP securely when you shake the case.
The one downside for me, is that it is bulky and heavy. Once I put my PSP in the case, I noticed that I had effectively doubled the weight. It feels around the same weight as my old psp 1000.
All in all, an extremely sturdy case, but note that while using it, your PSP will be neither slim, nor lite.

Excellent quality product, securely holds my psp, and makes it more ergonomic to use with my big hands.

Loving the psp cover it really protects my psp while still allowing me to charge it
