    I like to play my Vita a lot. This helps me play it more...the vita slides into the grips nicely and feels like a remote. The triggers feel kinda cheap from teh sound they make when you push on them but that's probably because they are just an extension of the existing buttons on the vita, so it works out.

    The grip by PDP is a very comfortable to hold. It fits very well in your hands. This grip fits very well to the Vita 2000.(To know if you have a Vita 2000, the fastest way is to look at the start and select buttons on your Vita. If your buttons are round it out have a Vita 2000. If they are like a oval or lemon shape this grip will not fit) The grip is made of a slick and rubber like plastic. The triggers feel good but, are by all means awful. The triggers barely work and can be frustrating when you need to use the L or R buttons on the grip. The issue with it is the triggers that press the L and R buttons on the Vita do not have enough force or distance to press the buttons all the way in. Otherwise I recommend you to avoid this grip like the plague unless the issues I mentioned are fixed.

    The added comfort this trigger grip gives is quite nice! With this grip you get more of a traditional controller feel and the product fits nicely on the slimmer Vita. The triggers are the only real reason this product is not 5/5 stars. The triggers are not as exact as the actual triggers that rest beneath these. While the triggers don't have that perfectly natural feel, in that you realize they are essentially triggers on top of triggers, after a brief period you should become familiar with their unique feel. Within a short time you should have no problem with the triggers on top of triggers feel. The major benefit is the great feel of the handles in your palms. You'll wonder why Sony didn't just make the Vita in this shape to begin with!

    The plastic is pretty flimsy and the triggers tend to stick. But it works for better grip on your Vita. You could do worse with $15.

    I've heard the triggers can scratch or damage the stock triggers but I cannot confirm for sure. What I did was put some small strips of painters tape on top of the stock triggers and they're fine when I take the tape off. With that in mind, the grips are pretty comfy and fit on the PSV slim pretty snug. If you're like me and have adult hands (that get cramps after longer play sessions) you should give these a try!

    Absolutely love it, huge advantage in owning this especially if you're playing for any length of time. The triggers on the top are a bit noisy but nothing that I'd says a deal breaker. The grips are amazing, feels like you're holding a ps4 or ps3 controler in your hands and it's a flawless fit, holds it firm into place with zero wiggle room.

    Perfect ergonomics, overall quality not as much

    I bought for my son, because I like the way it felt as well.. the ergonomics of the grips is perfect. & the velvety smooth rubber surface that makes this feel great is nice at first. But after taking this on & off a few times the rubber started to peel & reveal the same slick plastic as the vita. It is difficult to get off & requires a slight twist which makes it easy for vita to fall out so only take off when setting on like a bed or couch as the vita make pop out, it's a very tight fit so getting it off is a pain.. If you plan to leave them on always then this makes the vita have great ergonomics though it does block some of the rear touch pad sides, not sure if that will make a difference in gameplay ability. The center of rear tough pad is open. We use a hard shell case so these had to come off to use the case so it became apparent that this is best suited for someone who has a bag instead of case or just wants to use their vita with their PS4 or 3 as extra controller, second screen cross platform play. That said I'm extremely picky, I want perfection, so this may be fine for most but the few issues weren't enough to keep for myself

    I found without this, I was activating the back touchscreen accidentally, and it was generally uncomfortable to hold. With this attachment, it helps make the controller feel more like the normal PlayStation console controllers. It's a little plasticky, though.

    What a perfect grip! there's not much else to say. Great Price, Great Grip! The materiel is some sort of black satin matte finish. It is soft, smooth and hard at the same time, not to mention pretty durable and easily removable. I don't think I can find a negative thing about it.

    This trigger grip (for the slim PS Vita) works as advertised. The case itself is fairly durable, and makes it feel like you are holding a controller instead of the console, which is a plus. The triggers become slightly less responsive, though the comfort associated with the grip more than offsets this small negative.

    This is my second purchase of this accessory. While on a plane the rather thin plastic broke and rendered the product useless, but even after considering how fragile and cheaply this product was made it was still worth purchasing it again because of how game-changing it is for my Vita experience.

    I would give it 5 stars except for 2 reasons. 1. it forces your palms outward and causes an unusual feeling. If your looking for a feeling like a regular controller this is not it. 2. The triggers do not always react in time. They create a delay or do not always push the buttons on the PSVita.

    The overall build quality is on par. The two triggers are less than stellar but offer a "controller-like" feel to the product. It is much more comfortable than holding the PSVITA alone, however can cause hand cramping with extended periods of play time. Worth the price!

    Makes using and holding onto the Vita much easier, especially for smaller hands. Need to pop them off in order to store Vita in protective case. Wish they made a protective case that accommodated the hand grips!

    Replaced my Amazon Wing grip for a lot sturdier grip and lasts a long time. Triggers are stiff at first, but if u play a long time u get use to it and break it in.
