Inside, the 7” HDMI cable and the power brick for the monitor and of course the G155.

The case has a textured surface, with shiny edge highlights and the big G of the GAEMS emblem in the front.  The carry handle is comfortable, but if you are going to be carrying it a lot, investing in a carry strap would be in order, the connect points are in the latch.  If you look at the area of this case, you can see a lot of potential for case mods and skinning.

Attention to detail is a keynote of this case.

Edging is polished smooth for contrast to the textured surface.  Note also the added outside ribbing that helps provide stability and eliminate sharp edges..

The large latches on the sides of the case have a two way safety feature.  First is completely closed, securing everything, and if it is accidently partially unlatched, it is constructed to keep the lid from flying open.

You can see the latch points in the middle of the clamp. You can also put a lock through this to secure your equipment.

The bottom has rubber feet on three edges to protect the bottom of the case

And as you can see, many rubber feet on the bottom/backside so when the top is flipped up, it is resting on the rubber feet.

A new added feature in the final production, a tab that slides and locks into a slot in the bottom part of the case.  If you have your latches unlocked and you pick it up, it has a better chance to stay closed and not pop open suddenly on you.

Because the case has some flex to it (and I will explain that in a moment), these guide channels were put in place to assist lining up the top and bottom shells together to make an element resistant seal..

And of course, the star of the show is the 15.5” LED HD monitor.  In order to protect the monitor in the lid, the case is purposefully built to not be rigid, but to flex slightly so if there is an impact, it is transferred throughout the case, not directly to the screen.

The two bags are for your power bricks and controllers, the large straps keep your system in place, and the foam insert is made so one side takes care of the PS3 slim and the Xbox360 S

The other side is for the standard Xbox 360 (original PS3 not supported)

The control panel for the monitor has buttons for power, volume, brightness, the OSD menu for fine tuning, the HDMI port, ports for two sets of headphones, and the power plug, it also has a pair of speakers, which produces sound, but don't expect surround sound. This is for portability so you have to make sacrifices, and this is a minor one. 

What is also nice is the instructions reminding people what they have to do to secure your system and cables so you can close and transport your system.

The 7” HDMI cable which helps lower the latency

And the power brick for the monitor.  With the power for the Xbox or PS3 you have two plugs that you need in order to play. 

With the bags removed, you can see the attention to detail and the structural improvements to further add strength to the case

If you notice the metal straps from the bottom of the case up the side are built to add more structural support to the case.

A close up of the lid shows molded supports built into the plastic and the added ribbing to the latch area.

And all fired up, the proprietary GAEMS Monitor reminds you whose system you are using.

And here is the case fully loaded. It is not recommended to put the games on the top of a hot console, as you will warp the disks.

Not mentioned is the placement of the straps to allow for air flow from the console, while at the same time securing your console. Since this case had to get approved by Microsoft for their consoles, overheating is not an issue here, even after many hours of gameplay..

I normally don't comment on manuals, but as opposed to the normally sterile users manuals, there is a lot of humor spread out in the manual, with the GAEMS guys knowing what you really want to do.

If you think of the possibilities of this case, everything from a simple portability to a friends house, the ability for the kids to play video games without using your big HDTV, or taking it on the road with a car inverter (1000 watt or higher recommended) and play video games or movies. The case is TSA approved, as mentioned before, for carry-on purposes.

Also this system is great for people who are hospitalized, for waiting rooms in doctor's and dentist's office to keep kids occupied, college dorm rooms, military barracks and vessels, truckers, anywhere you want to be able to play your console without having to carry everything around with you.

There have been a bunch of reviews talking about how great the systems monitor looks and the low lag, which is true, but if you are going to put your $200 plus console into a portable case, you want to be sure it is going to be protected from damage and the GAEMS G155 system will do that with flying colors.
