4Grips are amazing... "armor", not so much.  Jun 02, 2008 By J. Barnett
Don't be fooled, the "armor" that comes with the grips are just a side piece, the real product here are the trigger grips. If you've ever had your trigger slip off the Dualshock 3's crappy R2/L2 buttons or wanted a better feel in FPS games, this product is a MUST! It could be cheaper.. but the crappy armor they bundle with this product probably jacks up the price slightly. I'd highly recommend it for people who dislike the Dualshock's current trigger setup.

It would get a 5 but the "armor" that comes with it is just useless and flimsy. It doesn't even fit the controller right. Throw it away immediately.

4Only worthwhile for the L2 and R2 trigger grips.  Sep 05, 2008 By Geoff McNulty "Rock Squad"
As this has been said before, I'll keep this short. The armor is pointless, and actually inhibits the use of the start and select buttons. As my controllers are protected by silicone skins, I bought two of these strictly for the L2 and R2 trigger grips. They deliver as advertised. Don't bother here if you can find similar trigger grips elsewhere.

5Great Product - Useful Information  Mar 12, 2009 By A. Hack "Agent Hack"
This Is A Great Product, Trigger Grips Help A Lot! & The Armor Just Looks Cool. The Start & Select Buttons Are A Little Harder To Push With The Armor On. However It Is Not An Inconvenience (I Only Noticed & Thought Nothing More Of It).

However One Thing Everyone Should Be Aware Of - The Controller Will Not Fit Most Chargers (Charging Hubs ECT.) With The Armor On (I Had The Pelican Recharging Station For Two Controllers Which Is The Exact Same Design As The Energizer One - Will Not Fit With Armor On It). If You Want To Charge The Controllers With The Armor On (Which I Did) The One Charging Station That I Have Found So Far That Works With The Armor On Is The T-X3 Charge Hub for PS3 by Hercules.

All In All I Like The Product & Plan On Buying Two More.

3Close, but no cigar...  Nov 02, 2008 By Nicholas W. Carper
The Controller Armor could be seen as a poor repackaging of a very useful product--two Real Triggers--with a shameful add-on--the aluminum faceplate. I would have bought four pairs of real triggers at $5 a pop, but for $10 it's too much for the part of this product I wanted. Take in mind, the real triggers click on as extensions of the L2 & R2 buttons, and are just molded plastic, so they could easily be sold for $1-2 a pair. They function well and keep your fingers from sliding off as can happen when playing games like Motorstorm. The do what they do and aren't a reimagining of the Dualshock 3, so you still have to deal with the changes in the controller that make it feel small in the hands and like the L/R-buttons are all placed a bit too high for the natural position of your index fingers. The PS2 dualshock feels much more natural.

5A+!  Jul 20, 2008 By Matthew David Schvaneveldt
I purchased because i was having problems keeping grip on the L2 and R2 buttons due to my large hands.

This is how the controller should have come! It is 10x easier to use.

I would definitely recommend this product to ANYONE who has a ps3 controller, regardless of hand size. It just makes it so much more comfortable to use!
