Expensive but worth it.
Expensive, but worth it.I bought this for those quiet nights at work. After all, my PS3 Super Slim is at home, all alone, being ignored by my wife who is not a gamer, while I am at work...so, this was a natural choice. After oogling at it for quite some time, I pulled the trigger and bought it for myself.First things first, this thing is heavy. When loaded with a PS3, two controllers, the small HDMI cable and the power brick, the case can feel heavy - not enough to break your back, but enough that you won't want to carry it for extended periods of time. I would recommend that you take it and put it on your backseat, flat down, with the two side latches against the back of the front seat and the backrest of the backseat - that way, it's not going anywhere if you hit the brakes all of a sudden.Inside, the screen is 19 inches on the diagonal. I have read reviews where they said that the screen is really 720p, but when I use the autodetect feature on the PS3 to configure it, the PS3 says that it is a 1080p screen.Oh well.The case is pretty well-designed, but was designed for an xBox 360, a PS3 original or the PS3 Slim - NOT the Super Slim. With every console except for the super slim, the disk slides in through the front, but the super slim loads like a PS2 - slide the top to the left, fit the disk on the center piece and slide the door back into place. This is not a big deal, until you realise that the velcro straps fit across the top of the console, preventing you from loading or removing a disk. So, you have to remove or just slacken the straps in order to load or remove disks every time.The supplied HDMI cable is about 6 inches long, but it is rather stiff, and its orientation is off, because you have to twist it to fit between the console and the input on the screen, which is right behind the console, when mounted. As a result, the loop sometimes gets in the way if you don't put it right - recommend getting a different cable, or cut a longer one and use it, like I do.When transporting it, make sure to pack it properly, otherwise the side latches don't close properly. Also, even though it is not written, there is actually a top and a bottom - this is to prevent damage to your game console, which can damage the drive assembly if transported upside down, and to prevent the console from leaning against the screen, possibly damaging it. While the velcro does hold it in place, better safe than sorry.An Xbox One is HUGE and barely fits inside. There is a removable padded base for the console, which sits on the inside of the base of the unit. There are ridges inside, presumably from the molding process, or for reinforcement. The padded base serves to protect the console from these ridges and to help the console sit properly inside. The Xbox One sits EXACTLY between two of these ridges, with about a millimeter of space on either side. Then, if you pack that console's power BRICK inside the case, along with the screen's own power adapter, there is no space inside the case to carry a controller, which kind of defeats the purpose of the entire case in the first place.Picture quality is great. There are settings for "Game", "Movie" and so on, like with any actual TV. There is even a TINY remote control, like what you might get with a car stereo.When the screen is on, there are two blue lighting accents on either side of the monitor. Some people might find them distracting, but I find that it adds to the overall esthetic of the unit. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.There are built in speakers, which are surprisingly loud. They don't provide immersive gameplay like a surround sound system, or even headphones, but they are good in a pinch. No real bass, but speech is clearly discernible, music is clear and loud and movies are good, without having to turn up the volume too high.What really surprised me were the 2 headphone ports. General thinking would be to put one port, but they were thinking about sharing audio with a friend without disturbing others.The case itself does take a little abuse, but it scratches somewhat easily. One time I had to put in my car's trunk and it bruised its handle against the inside of the latch assembly of the trunk (was doing repairs to the car and the upholstery was missing). Quite frankly, I would recommend this more for the portability, rather than the "protection" that the company is selling in the commercials and reviews.Overall, I like it. It is expensive, but worth it. Will update and put up some pictures when I can.

A must have for gamers
I have a PlayStation 4. It fits perfectly and works great. Now I can play my video games whereever and whenever instead of having to wait until I get home.

Consoles have finally met their home!!
This is my first ever review on Amazon!!!I've been shopping on this website since 2 years and go through other reviews and product info for about 2-3 weeks before buying anythingAnd I did the same with this product the "Gaems Vanguard".ExteriorFirst of the Build quality is amazing! Although it's made of some durable plastic exterior it can definitely take a beating on the road, I've used it for 2 weeks now gaming in my bedroom and at my workplace.The latches are not the best in the world but looks to me like they will hold their ground for a long time. The colour is a nice matte black with the log in the center, I feel it looks awesome and well done.InteriorThe only drawback I found is having to power the screen with a power supply. If they had used the technology like the other Gaems screen which needs only USB power this would have been amazing. The console will need to be powered as well. And the 2 soft carrying pouches I don't use or load anything in them although you can stuff a controller and cables, however cause of previous reviews from ppl saying it can damage the screen, don't want to take that chance. I carry a backpack with my controllers, wires and games etc.Coming to the screen, it's not Full HD 1080p I'm assuming it's 720p, and I say this because my PS4 didn't work the first time with the screen so I had to connect back to my TV screen and change the settings to 720p and walla!! It workedThe screen is still High res and crisp and bright and does do games with awesome in game graphics really proud. I've tried the last of us, mortal kombat x and Call of duty and they look beautiful, except sometimes you can notice the flickering pixels in call of duty. Looking forward to black ops 3!The speakers on the unit are good for what they are in a portable unit, I use headphones so it doesn't really matter, however if your gaming with friends there's an extra headphone output. And yeah again the speakers will do the job in any average size room with about 5-6 ppl making all the noise they want. They don't sound like HiFi Bose or Sonys but they do have some clarity for gaming.for what it is and for the price I think it's an excellent product and let's me game conveniently at any place with a power outlet and at the same time i don't have to worry about using up a TV at home. Plus I can travel with it on my next trip to Thailandif there's something I'd like to see from Gaems in the future is maybe a lightweight Aluminium enclosed unit with a Full HD 1080 screen about the same size and USB powered or an added powerbank/battery which can be charged and used to power the Screen and console for atleast about 4-5 hours. I know it's a tough ask but hey everyone breaks the rules at some point.Overall I'm having an awesome time with my Vanguard! Thank you Gaems!!
