This is a great accessory for the GBA SP. My sons' consoles are very well protected and they look great.
also there is metal inside the leather, so you can bend it to tighten how it holds onto the screen part of the sp if you have to.just make sure you know that your doin and dont bend too much. its ok but it presses the left and right shoulder buttons in which wears out the springs quick. this is my 3rd and final sp case. this is better than all the others too becase the sp folds closed all the way(there is nothing between the buttons and screen to keep it cracked open which wears it out more) there is also a cool chinese dragon and 'SP' branded on the front that you cant see in the picture. they are no good.the molded grips on the back were so small i think they were made for a toddler to play with.plus it didnt fit on good at all(the back would fall off so i tried to super glue it on and that wouldn't hold either)and there was no protection. the first was the airform pocket which you put the sp in when not playing it. it took me 5min to get the main part of the sp in it.very tight fit. to sum it up- amazing case for the sp.i cant imagine a more classy functional good looking case.
little kids might not enjoy it so much cause theres no pokemens and fruity colors. now on to this case :) like the reviews before.it smells amazing, not just like leather but the kind of leather a 1000$ jacket is made of. after that i got one of those gel skin cases which you leave on to play with. or a fancy horse saddle. [.].
I bought this over a year ago and still have it on my SP. I didn't fault the case with 4 stars because there is really no way around these (very minor) issues, and if you simply remove the case while playing linked games and slip it back on when done you've solved the only real potential problem.The only final note I wanted to add for my far-too-long review is that the increase in size it gives the GBA, while minor, makes it much nicer to hold in larger/adult hands. Also, it does not fit into ANY charging cradles -- I know, I bought 4 of them trying to find one that would fit.However, these are petty gripes. The case just fits on the GBA with friction and I was initially worried it would eventually stretch and no longer fit, but that is not the case. It still fits fine (and it still smells of leather, hehe).BE WARNED however, while the case does not block any ports, it does cover up the holes for the attachment clips (used by the wireless adaptor, Gamecube/GBA link cable, etc).Also, the extra millimeter or so of space it creates around the GBA means that the GBA/GBA link cable sometimes comes unplugged during play and the charging plug can go in and out of connectivity (though only if you move a lot while charging, if you let the GBA sit, there is no problem). That, plus when you pull it out of a suit pocket it looks really sleek and everyone wants to know what it is ;)
The Pelican SP Leather Glove is EXACTLY what I needed to keep my GBA SP safer. It keeps my pocketful of keys from scratching it. It has a few insignificant drawbacks that you should keep in mind. Not much to say. And, bonus, is actually improves my grip on the machine while I play so intensely. The GBA SP with the Glove won't fit in the plastic box thing in the Nintendo (large) carrying case, or probably any other accessory that has a tight fit on the SP body - which should be obvious. It could use a little more padding, but that would also make it bulkier.
It's pretty cool how it fits snugly around the edges of the SP body and display housing, without obstructing any plugs or buttons. It provides a little padding to help survive fumbles. It stays in place and doesn't get loose or fall off. All in all, the Glove is Great.
I really want a metallic cover for my Game Boy SP, but I settled for this leather one. My only real complaint was the wierd new leather smell, but that wore off very quickly.This is a good product and works like it's supposed to. The official Game Boy pouches, while having nice pockets for games, also make the machine too big for the pocket. I was carrying it in my pocket, and the serial number sticker was starting to fade, so I needed something quick to protect the finish. This cover does that while keeping the Game Boy relatively pocket-sized. I especially recommend it for adult gamers who like to play on the way home from work (I see lots of you on the subway).
