    I think silicone's the way if you really want protection, but scratches add to the charm, it means its been used and played with. Needs the glass screen tho

      Maybe you could get a matte casing if someone really cares about scratches. If you can find one, of course. Don't know how available those are.

      no. silicone cases are dogshit and eventually deform. i went through at least a dozen in the past decade. the clear cases last.

    I decided early on that I don't like to use protective cases for my handhelds since I'm very careful with them (with cellphone is another story), I also don't like the added height that goes from my hands to the buttons, even if the buttons are easy to press. But thanks. Maybe you should do one with carrying cases or grip cases, cheers

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  5 месяцев назад

      Yea usually they are really bad, they can damage your device and feel wrong.
      I found these to be not bad as long as the user is ok with damage only if their console is not in a perfect condition
      Have you tested the PSP ones before?
      On a switch this can be annoying for sure, but I found the button height to be ok on the PSP

    I agree with your when it comes to mint condition collector pieces but these things shouldn't really even be leaving your house.
    If you use your Handhelds in public spaces or outside, a couple scratches is preferable to broken plastic from it getting knocked out of your hands or dropping it on concrete. If all i did was sit in an office and then drive home and sit in my house I'd probably never bother with cases or screen protectors for my handhelds. Just accidentally putting my keys in my pocket with my PSP one time completely ruined the screen.

    • @TotalKommando
      @TotalKommando  5 месяцев назад

      Yea the mint ones should stay at home
      Always gotta have one ready for on the road battle and one babied at home
      Even if you use these crystal ones at home, they will eventually cause some damage
      I agree, give me a handheld thats scuffed up, but with a perfect screen and i will be happy
      Thankfully now a days we go those glass lenses, and if you watched my video about it, i took a hammer and a bunch of sharp pointy objects to it
      It held up pretty well lol

      @TotalKommando  5 месяцев назад +1

      I was thinking perhaps one could spray the inside with some sort of rubberized material but it will cause extra problems.
      Either way it will never be perfect because all the added thickness will get in the way of it closing correctly

      Hardware wise, its poor contact or no contact, where it uses the stupid jelly. Try scrubbing and cleaning the contacts on the motherboard
