Description
Protect your PSP software and movies from dust and scratches.
The pack contains 5 UMD cases in red, yellow, blue, green and smoke black
colors. These cases fit UMD's perfectly and the base of the case allows
you to simply push the UMD's out of the cases. They are also held in firmly
using the two holes on the back of the UMD.

The Review Itself
I wasnt expecting much from these Epoch cases as to me they didnt look
hard wearing enough from screenshots on the internet. The colourful cases
which are seethrough make it easy to see your Film or Game once inserted
and the plastic case does seem quite tough on inserting the UMD into the
case, it went in smooothly and seemed to go into a locking mechanism of
sorts.
The UMD fitted snugly and so i dropped it from around 6 foot onto a softish
carpet and the UMD didnt detach itself from the case. The weight of the
case is very minimal and even with all 5 cases and UMDs fitted it wasnt
too heavy on the pocket. A worry of mine was that the case would leave the
open part the the PSP reads open to attack from Dust and scratches but its
nicely fitted inside the case.
To get the UMD out its no problem, just a slight pull and your Game/Movie.
Ideally these should be used in conjunction with a good case so that your
UMD is given the best protection.
Comments
Although these are a nice product and cheap as well for the price, i am
a bit concerned with 2 items, one is when pushing the PSP in theres the
two bits that stick down that enable the UMD to fit tightly. The reason
it bothers me is i can see scratching of the UMD case itself through this
method. The second part that concerns me is that when your in a high risk
of dust/scratching such as a beach then i can see problems should the case
be dropped. With that in mind this is a product that when matched with a
decent PSP Case will give the best in protection for your Films or Games
Overall i would give it a 7/10 , Its really a buy it or leave it purchase
but not essential.
