Digital camera reviews of Case Logic PDVK-10 7 to 10-Inch In-Car Portable DVD Player Case (Black)
Digital camera Review: Disappointment
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this case for my new Sony DVP-FX950 Portable DVD Player. There were positive reviews about this case when used with the same player, so I thought it would be a good match. But I was disappointed.
First, the case is very flimsy. It accommodates the player okay, but the strap is thin and cheap and doesn't secure the player to my liking. Plus, the strap that secures the player has no protection or padding to prevent the hard plastic clasp from scratching the player surface.
Second, the overall padding isn't all that great. It feels like just a piece of Styrofoam in the front flap and the center divider. The back of the case isn't padded at all. Also, there is only one compartment, apart from the player platform. The compartment is large enough to hold all the player components, but there is no way to organize anything. The items are just loose and, due to the narrow opening, would be difficult to locate one particular item without dumping the whole lot out.
The design isn't bad. I'm sure it would be a good case to use in a vehicle, but I want a case to use to safely transport the player, not to mount it in a car. I'll be returning the case for a different one.
Digital camera Review: Does what I need it to..

It's a bit large for our dvd player, but it securely keeps the player in place while the car is moving. We mount it between two bucket seats, works like a charm.Digital camera Review: Doesn't hold player secure
Summary: 1 Stars
Using this with a Sony player as pictured and the strap that holds the player does not work well. The strap is too thin and ends up sliding into the gap between the screen and bottom part of the player, so the only place it actually supports the player is the hinge area in the middle. This does not provide a secure hold, the player easily sways, and goes crooked in the case. Also, the wide strap that is supposed to go around the seat and clip to the case is not long enough. Even with the strap fully extended, it does not reach around the seat of a Toyota Highlander, (not an overly large seat).Digital camera Review: Easy to install

This is a good item to carry your portable DVD. Good value and easy to install.Digital camera Review: Excellent and versatile
Summary: 5 Stars
The case fits my Sony FX820 8" player with room to spare. Takes about 15-20 minutes to install in the car the first time but it's easy and intuitive. It fits between the front seats of our 2005 Volvo V70 perfectly. Minor drawback is it must be positioned between the front seats. It would be nice if it could also strap just to one seat so that a single person in the back could look straight ahead to watch a movie, not turn one's head to the middle (although our 6 year old son had no complaints whatsoever).
Interior pocket comfortably holds the DVD player cords and remote. You can squeeze 1, maybe 2 DVD cases in the pocket with the cords but things get pretty tight. Plan on carrying your movies in a separate bag.
The case doubles up nicely as a carrying case for airplane use. Leave the straps and cords at home and you can fit 2-3 movies in the pocket with ease.
Depending on the size of your DVD player, you might have to get creative with the strap that secures the player when you are using it just as a carrying case. I had to adjust the strap to a diagonal position so that it held my player securely (this will make sense once you see the case). Otherwise, your DVD player can fall out when you open the case.
Materials and construction quality seem good and the zipper opens and closes easily. I'm very happy with its performance.
