Reddit reviews BLUECELL Set of 8 Pcs Game Control/Controller Joystick Pad Cover for Sony Playstation PSV PS Vita

I bought this and love it. The d pad is better and my analog sticks have the inward curve with the 4 dots for grip like the 360.

That was part of an accessory set for the PsVita i had, using mounting putty to make it removable

they are not a perfect solution for the joy-cons, as the mounting putty loses its hold on it and can ghost diagonals if it does come loose, and the adhesive that does comes with it is rather thick, but it does fit perfectly in the shells. currently experimenting on making it work better

No my mod just allows the thumbsticks tops to snap on and off.

I bought these Bluecell thumbstick covers.

I cut the thumbsticks off the Xbox One's that I got off Ebay for like $1.

I dremeled underneath the XBO thumbstick a bit to make a "bowl" shape so the Bluecell can fit nicely in there. I epoxied the Bluecell top under the XBO one and now I have a nice pair of thumbsticks that I can pull on and off at will.

I have the PDP Trigger Grips. Be warned, if you have a "full" screen protector (Static Cling or Water applied) it will scrunch it up unless you work really hard to either trim the water applied/static cling or some how mess with the Static Cling.

Some additional accessories that I find useful:

Of course, a travel case. Depending on your style pick a cloth or hard case. I personally like my official Sony Travel Pouch. It's soft and has lots of room for the Vita, headphones, extra games, and a cleaning cloth. Hard cases (Usually 3rd party) are pretty good depending which. I also have the DreamGear hard case as a more travel friendly when going to another person's house. My issue with it is that the case itself fits really snugly with the Vita where it can push on the Power button.

You also want a back screen protector for the back touch panel alone. That thing is very prone to scratches.

Thumbstick grips are also very great for the extra grip you want. Sadly, the one I have is discontinued. So I can't really recommend a product I haven't used.

You can certainly find others. Just read reviews. Be a smart consumer!

A great pair of headphones is a must if you travel a bit. I would wholeheartly recommend the official Sony Vita headphones. Great sound and cheap. Has a built in Mic but I'm not sure how good that is.

A handy 2A-2.1A outlet USB charger with a spare USB Vita Cable is always nice to have around traveling.

Please Note: When purchasing additional back up battery packs or charging outlet thingies. Make sure it's 2A to 2.1A (2,000 mA to 21000 mA. not mAh**) output. The vita needs at least 1.5A output to be charged while playing or 1A while off (Very slow).

I've been using this but it's been sold out apparently since I purchased it. The 3-4 ring grip is extremely helpful with gripping.

The ones you linked, I can't even tell what shape they are unless it's a smooth grip since the picture quality isn't great. If you do have them please take pictures.

I used to use the pdp grip but now I use these.
It feels more comfortable in my hands but it sets weird on the ground.

For a game like SS I highly recommend picking up some stick covers, the concave covers really make a difference.

Just buy a pair of sticks from ebay and bluecell vita caps from amazon. Cut and glue. I sell them on ebay since I got so many requests but you can make them yourself too.

This is where I got my hard caps

Im not sure if they ship international though as this is the US Amazon site

Your referring to this? http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Control-Controller-Joystick-Playstation-Vita/dp/B007IDIXBK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1411613136&sr=8-3&keywords=bluecell+vita+covers

Thanks for the help.

Depends which ones you buy, I guess. There are these ones which are plastic and these ones which are silicone.

Get these, sand down he surface to bind them to the caps and you'll have your own pair of removable thumbsticks (this is what I did).
