News: Logitech unveils protective case and audio products for PSP

Logitech unveiled its first line of PlayStation Portable accessories. The company will provide your PSP with a protective case, "stealth" earphones, portable speakers, and audio splitter.

Logitech PlayGear Pocket case
The stylish Logitech PlayGear Pocket case protects the PSP against wear and tear, scratches and bumps, with its virtually indestructible polycarbonate shell, while allowing complete accessibility to all the PSP functions. The versatile case's lid flips up and out of the way, allowing gamers to use the PSP without removing it from the case - and still protect their investment. The lid's tension hinge allows it to rotate and stay open at any angle; it can serve as a sun visor for outdoor game play or as a tabletop stand for hands-free viewing of videos or listening to music. The case also provides easy access to the 3.5 mm audio port so that gamers can plug in their earphones while the PSP is fully enclosed in the case. The Logitech PlayGear Pocket case will be available online and on retail shelves in the U.S. beginning in April and Europe beginning in May. The case will have a suggested retail price of $19.99 in the U.S.

Logitech PlayGear Stealth earphones
The Logitech PlayGear Stealth earphones provide high-quality audio performance and a comfortable fit for hours of game play, music or movies. The product includes three soft rubber fittings - small, medium and large - to allow a custom fit, keep the earphones in place inside any ear, and provide a comfortable seal that improves the bass sound quality. The earphones also feature neodymium stereo drivers capable of producing large sound despite their compact form. The Logitech PlayGear Stealth earphones will be available on retail shelves and online in the U.S. beginning in April and Europe beginning in June with a suggested retail price of $19.99 in the U.S.

Logitech PlayGear Amp portable speakers
The sleek Logitech PlayGear Amp portable speakers will provide rich and loud stereo sound from the PSP device for music, movies and games. The speaker set contains a PSP bracket that holds the device for easy, hands-free viewing. With a collapsible design and an included carrying case, the speakers are easy to pack up and take on the road. The Logitech PlayGear Amp portable speakers will be available in the U.S. beginning in June and Europe beginning in July. The speakers will have a suggested retail price of $79.99 in the U.S.

Logitech PlayGear Share audio splitter
The Logitech PlayGear Share audio splitter creates a pair of open 3.5 mm ports, allowing friends to use two sets of headphones or speakers simultaneously on one PSP device - twice the fun when listening to movies and music. The Logitech PlayGear Share audio splitter will be available on retail shelves and online in the U.S. beginning in May and Europe beginning in June. The audio splitter will have a suggested retail price of $9.99 in the U.S.

"Logitech has designed beautiful, custom-tailored products that complement the PSP and its unique versatility," said Jef Holove, director of product marketing for Logitech's Audio and Interactive Entertainment Business Unit. "The PSP is an innovative platform for mobile gaming as well as music, movies and more. With this new line, Logitech is leveraging our expertise in design, leadership in audio, and history in interactive entertainment to help maximize the PSP's enormous potential."
