Well, I've got several Vitas and only 2 kinds of a case for it...
I only have ONE of these - it's a "soft-case"...
It's not a BAD CASE, but it offers almost NO protection if your Vita gets dropped. It does however have room for AR Cards an a couple of games and a Sony memory card.
These next ones however, are a totally different case (no pun intended)...
This is called a VAULT CASE:
These things are hard to find (in like really good condition), and they're expensive. One of these in good condition will cost you $40, $50, all the way up to $70+ clams on eBay. However, allow me to show you some pics of this case on its own, and the protection that it provides...
The outer shell on this case is extremely durable. While smartphones are built to take a few drops, the PS Vita is NOT designed to do that. Don't want to drop that Vita!!! If anyone ever has, please share your horror story with us.
Second pic:
The Vita snugs PERFECTLY to the inside of the case with no "play" whatsoever".
The insde of the case is made of a dense plastic "foam" (I don't konw what else to call it), but it stops any movement inside the case. None. Zero. The locking mechanism on the unit is rock solid (as seen above). And when the case is closed, it shuts TIGHTLY AROUND THE VITA (see the next pic)...
So that's the top of the unit. See those two doohickies in the top of the case? When closing the case (or it's closed) those two things land straight down onto the area just above the speakers in the bottom half beflow. This means two things:
1) The analog sticks are COMPLETELY PROTECTED, WHILE NOTHING IS IN "CONTACT" WITH THEM.
2) There is absolutely no room for anything in that case to move. Nothing. That's why this thing is such an awesome case. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't drop it off of the Empire State Building or anything, but for day-to-day use and traveling as well, this thing is a sure fit for anyone who's looking to get rock-solid protection for your wonderful little gizmo.
3) That small rectangular felt piece lays directly on top of the Vita's screen. Underneath THAT (on the top side of the case) are 3 slots for any Vita games you have (which you probably have but don' use anymore), or up to 3 SD2Vita cards.
So that's my little review for these things. If you've got a case you'd like to discuss or show us all, by all means do chime in, as I'm sure there are a bunch of cases out there for everyone's needs.
