Not just for hardcore, pre-teen gamers, the PSP is the go-to device for hardcore, grown-up commuters too. On almost every flight I take I see them fired up by guys for games, movies, music... whatever helps the trip go by faster.

When you're taking you're PSP on the road, you need something to keep it from being banged around in your bag or briefcase. One of the better, and well thought-out, cases is from Pacific Design.

Made of durable polyurethane with a leather-like feel, it has an open-frame design that holds the PSP with minimal overlap, giving you complete usability and access to all ports without having to remove the case. A magnetic "trapdoor" on the bottom even lets you change the UMD while your PSP stays cradled. A storage slot in the cover holds another one so you don't have to go digging when you get bored. Or your train gets delayed.

Available in three (thankfully subtle) color combos at Circuit City and ebags.com.
