JoyTech PowerGrip battery pack for PSP

Paul Sinclair • Mar 22, 2007 • Comments ()

PocketGamer have managed to get their hands on JoyTech's new battery charger solution for the PSP. JoyTech have produced a unit which is primarily a rechargeable battery pack designed to prolong your PSP playtime when you're beyond reaching distance of a power socket.

Yet its design cleverly enables a further four functions: namely, a screen protector, a sunshield, a 'comfort grip' option and movie viewing stand.

Installation is simple, with the PowerGrip quickly attaching itself to the top side of the PSP with the aid of two screws driven into the two holes either side of the USB output. It's a firm fixing (though care should be taken not to overtighten the connection), which then enables the unit to rotate around its attachment in order to fulfil its various functions.

When flipped over the front of the PSP, the handheld's lovely screen is protected by the PowerGrip's hard (albeit cheap) plastic backing (and in contact with its stiff foam interior lining to prevent damage).
