The Thrustmaster
V.I.P. Case doesn't sport slots to hold your Vita game cartridges, but the design sacrificed that extra space for a sleeker and smaller appearance. Not that there is anything wrong with that, just don't expect a way to carry more than the game you already have loaded up. That being said, since Sony seems to be really pushing the digital-download route, this might not be a problem at all.
I will say though, I have some serious concerns around the case's actual strength. While it seems to have no problem shirking off short drops where it lands flat, or even on edge, the center of the top and bottom halves feel very weak and flexible. It really seems like a drop on a corner, or some other way to cause a point-of-impression instead of something that will spread out more evenly, will cause a crack or even a shatterpoint in the case.
The final worry point I had with this product was the heat generated by the Vita if it is left on while the case was closed. The V.I.P. Case doesn't contain any venting or heat management and I found that there was a noticeable amount of heat buildup if left alone for even a few minutes. Basically, if you are going to use this case, then make sure you turn it off, or at least put it to sleep before putting it in the case.
Overall, the Thrustmaster V.I.P. Case isn't bad for a low-profile case for your Vita ... that is, it would be low profile if it wasn't for the logo emblazoned on the top of it. Unlike other cases, it does have a hard shell, but it isn't super big and unwieldy. In the end, the V.I.P. Case is a good middle-of-the-road product that will fit some people's needs over others. Personally, I think I'm sticking to the soft-sided case that came with my Vita Starter Kit.
