Why do PSP UMDS suck?

[tretion]

Lately I've been noticing that most PSP UMDs, that I find are breaking right down the middle of the white plastic protection layer. Is there a way to fix this? I do find a lot of good psp games at thrift stores but I don't purchase them, it's a shame that most people don't take care of their stuff.
I'm pretty sure there's no way to fix them but just in case I thought I would ask this question.

thanks for the reply. I was just currently watching a video about this. I should have done my research first lol

I had no clue there were sold. No use to me but it's good to know there is a solution!

Yeah, I don't know how I stumbled upon the knowledge of those replacement cases, but it looks like Gamefly knows about them too as I've rented a few games with them that do not have the original PSP UMD case.

I've never found a PSP game where this has been a problem but it's good to know that they exist just in case.

My copy of Valkyrie Profile Lenneth has a split case. I think the reason it's coming apart is due to how PSP games clip into the clamshell.
