Pelican's PSP Lineup

Face Armor

Sony's PlayStation Portable has the distinct advantage of observing the mistakes and successes of other portables that came before it. It makes some good use of the knowledge, (backlighting, memory stick compatibility) but unfortunately drops the ball on one important issue. Nearly every other portable system manufacturer has learned the hard way that fragile LCD screens need to be protected with a clam-shell or some other built in cover. After dropping two hundred and fifty bucks, the PSP's wimpy sleeve/bag simply isn't going to cut it. That's why Pelican has stepped in with their Face Armor, a sleek protective shell that can take the abuse so that your precious widescreen display can remain clean and pristine.

The Face Armor easily attaches to the top of the PSP via a pair of thumbscrews. Flipped down, the Face Armor's plastic shell rests flush on the deck of the PSP, covering and protecting the unit's LCD screen from both dust and scratches. Flipped up, it provides a handy glare guard and privacy screen. Thanks to Pelican's thoughtful design, the Face Armor in no way blocks any of the controls or buttons on the top of the PSP in either the open or closed position; your L and R triggers, "open" latch, IR port, USB connector and UMD hatch move freely and are always easily accessible. The polished black glassine finish also compliments the sleek, ultra-modern design of the PSP… classy.

The Face Armor also comes with four disk jackets designed to cover and protect the exposed read windows of your UMDs when not in use. These are particularly handy if you tend to casually toss games into a backpack, gear bag or briefcase.

Bottom line is that Pelican's Face Armor is a must have for any PSP owner interested in protecting their screen and looking cool in the process. For around twelve dollars you can grab one just about anywhere games are sold, or at one of the dealers listed at PelicanPerformance.com.

O.K, you just spent about two hundred fifty bucks on your PlayStation Portable, and even though it comes with a protective bag/pouch, you still aren't one hundred percent sure about casually tossing it in a backpack, equipment bag or briefcase. We understand, and so does the brain trust over at Pelican. That's why, just to ease your pain, they've clunked their collective heads together and turned out the All In One Case, hands down the best compact carrying case on the market for the PSP.

The All In One Case features a main padded pocket for the PSP itself, one padded pocket for accessories, a middle compartment for UMDs, a side pocket for a cleaning cloth and a convenient carrying strap. The padded main body easily holds a PSP with Face Armor, while the various compartments and side pockets can comfortably store up to eight UMDs, ear buds, the PSP's remote control, a power supply, and some smaller accessories and manuals.

The All In One Case is designed to protect your PSP, games, movies and a several items while looking good doing it. It's perfect for travel, taking up no room in your backpack, suitcase or carry-on bag. Available in classic black, for around twelve dollars you can grab one just about anywhere games are sold, or at one of the dealers listed at PelicanPerformance.com.

Leather Holster

PSP Leather Holster

Kids carry their toys in their pocket; gentlemen prefer a case. Same goes with Sony's PlayStation Portable. It was designed with the sophisticated gamer in mind, so why pack it in anything less than the best? Pelican understands this and offers the PSP Leather Holster.

Made of genuine, high-grade, black lambskin leather, the PSP Leather Holster is both sturdy and attractive. And its velvety interior lining guarantees that your PSP will remain scratch free when it comes time to play. Easy to use, just slip your PSP into the holster, snap the magnetic clasp over the opening and you're ready to go. It even comes with a bonus polish cloth to keep your LCD looking as sharp as ever.

The PSP Leather Holster is definitely the coolest way to carry your PSP. For about twelve dollars you can get one anywhere games are sold or at one of the dealers listed at PelicanPerformance.com.

Everyone has been there: you're getting your PSP on when the case starts to feel like a tiny freshly glazed ham. Palm sweat is not only uncomfortable for you, it's downright damaging to your PlayStation Portable. Luckily for all of us, Pelican has stepped up to the plate with their PSP Skin Grip. Made from ultra durable rubberized polyurethane, The Skin Grip pops easily over the body of your PSP, protecting it from minor dings and nicks as well as palm scum.

Worried that the extra layer of plastic will make the unit clumsy or a pain to use? Don't be. The Skin Grip is designed to fit the PSP in such a way that every button, switch, jack, trigger, hatch and port is easily accessible and unencumbered. It even comes with a pair of screen guards that fit over the LCD, providing an invisible layer of film that keeps dust, fingerprints and scratches away from the display surface and reduces glare. It also doesn't hurt that the PSP Skin Grip looks pretty cool.

All in all, Pelican's Skin Grip is the best way to protect your PSP from minor scrapes, dents and sweaty carp-hands. Available in red, green or blue, for about ten dollars you get one Skin Grip, two Screen Guards and a bonus polish cloth. Pick one up wherever games are sold or at one of the dealers listed at PelicanPerformance.com.
