But here's my advice. DO NOT BUY FROM FOLK THAT DON"T TALK TO YOU OR WILL NOT ANSWER YOUR PRE-SALES QUESTIONS.
They don't deserve the sale.

I'm looking for a case for my PSP, but I'm not sure which one would be better suited for what I need. The case does not need to be play-through, but it has to hold it's own against the textbooks and other crap in my messenger bag. I had a few picked out, but my favorite one(the aluminum armor one), is out of stock on Amazon. I'm also looking for a travel bag to take with me on overnight trips/vacations.
So far I've found:http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Super-Travel-Case-Pockets-Sony/dp/B000ASBKHE%3FSubscriptionId%3D14H876SFAKFS0EHBYQ02%26tag%3Dhubpages-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000ASBKHEhttp://www.amazon.com/PSP-PlayGear-Street-Sony/dp/B0009EP8O0%3FSubscriptionId%3D14H876SFAKFS0EHBYQ02%26tag%3Dhubpages-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB0009EP8O0http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Traveler-Case-Sony/dp/B000X2BAPY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1320335612&sr=8-4
And, the two I was really looking forward to:http://www.amazon.com/PSP-Alluminum-Armor-Case-Sony/dp/B000ASBKL0%3FSubscriptionId%3D14H876SFAKFS0EHBYQ02%26tag%3Dhubpages-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000ASBKL0http://www.amazon.com/Multi-Functional-Travel-Bag-PSP-Black-Sony/dp/B000NTK4MC/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1320335945&sr=8-12
So which one should I go for? Any idea where I can find the aluminum case and/or travel bag? Also does the Extended life battery stick out from the back of the 3000? have a silicon grip on the unit, and would hate to have to take it off to make room for the battery.
Thanks for any help/suggestions!
