Is that the Hori hand grips you have? I wanted to get a pair of those early last year, but ended up deciding not to get any grips. I might still.
You like 'em?
You definitely need grips in your life. At least the option, they're cheap and can help so much.
These are the hori ones yep.
They are not as quite comfortable as the nyko shaped one [edit- nah they are really nice actually, feel a lot more quality and it's very very comfortable too, sorry it was pretty late here and didn't have it with me], which is great but has its own issues including blocking the charging port.
They are just as unportable.
The sliding mechanism is too loose, but I'm going to try something tonight.
It's very comfortable when you're playing a game not heavy on triggers and you're not holding it too vertically so it doesn't slide down.
In its closed position it's actually really great, only problem is the rear touch pad is harder to reach than with nyko.
All in all I would recommend this, especially for playing at home.
The mechanism feels secure, more so than nyko, but the top locking part has two small hinges that do look a bit frail. It covers up the game card slot and iirc memory card but maybe not, otherwise everything else including top buttons is more accessible.
If adding some tape between the sliding thing makes it stiffer it might be pretty perfect.
It's not as grippy material as the nyko but it feels nicer to me. The nyko feels like...too good. Sort of some magical rubber which is also being absorbed into your hand. Or maybe the dye. I should say my other grip isn't nyko it's pega, but it looks exactly the same.
Anyway with the analog grips it's really something great. Btw that photo makes them look big. It's not. It's like yoga pants tight and 1-2mm thick so when she stretches..erm yeah it's great.
TLDR - YES buy! Easy recommendation, especially for bigger hands and when portability isn't a big factor over comfort. It's not heavy or anything though, the extra weight adds a nice feel to it. Make sure not to get abrasive crap in between the vita and the case (give it a wipe before slotting the vita in).
A Red Dead game for Vita will be awesome.
I'm still hoping on that rumour, on something good from Rockstar eventually.
