SyntechHard Carrying Case Compatible with ASUS ROG Ally/ROG Ally X Console & Accessories, Portable Travel Handheld Case for Storage and Stand, EVA Shockproof Protective Carry Bag with Large Capacity

Just got the Syntech Hard Carrying Case for my Rog Ally, and first impression is very good. I’ll get to the bottom-line up front for those who don’t like to read wordy reviews.Pros: Solid, hard case. A must for travelRoom for the essential accessoriesIt’s also a stand for table top/TV-connected playWhite with black trim matches the Rog Ally aestheticReasonably pricedCons: That white and black aesthetic is going to be a dirt and scuff magnet if you aren’t carefulSuggestions for the manufacturer: Could redesign with a removable tray to open up more accessory space, for HDMI cables or the like.And for those who enjoy reading reviews, here are my full thoughts on the carrying case.I got the Rog Ally for traveling, and needed a better option that just stuffing the machine in my carry-on luggage and hoping for the best. Looking at the Asus Rog Ally website, their official travel case looks like an over-sized soft pencil case my kids would use for school, and while I’m sure it’s well made, didn’t seem like the best bet for keeping my Ally un-crunched inside a backpack crammed under an airline seat, or soft duffle being banged around and abused in an overhead bin. Plus, the $39.99 (USD) was a little steep for something I’m sure my wife could easily make on her sewing machine. This Syntech Hard Carry Case looked like a better option for my needs, and (when I bought it) Amazon had it listed at $25.99, with a discount and coupon, that came down to $19.66, and sales tax brought it back up to $21.04, almost half the price of Asus’s own travel case. I’m confident this case will hold up to the rigors of air travel, a family road trip, or weekend camping excursion. Once I’ve had a chance to put it through the paces on some of those, I’ll come back to update this if needed.When traveling, it’s also good to have the essentials close at hand, which this case has covered. There’s a mesh pocket for any extra memory cards you need to bring along. And if you’re looking to travel light, you could also keep some credit cards, driver’s license, or cash in there. At the bottom of the case is a cavity that will hold the charging cable that came with the Ally, or the Rog Gaming Charger Dock with USB C cable. The remaining space is perfect for my Sony wireless earbuds, and probably any other wireless earphones with similar case size. If you have the charger dock, you may be able to fit an HDMI cable in there, but the ones I have are too long and not flexible enough to coil to fit. For the Syntech carrying case engineers, it may be possible to make the tray removable, which would open up the cavity between the tray and shell to allow for HDMI cable stowage. Any other accessories will have to be packed separately, such as keyboard, mouse, or game controllers, but while actually traveling, the charger is right there in the case, so when that low battery warning pops up, you’re ready, as long as there is a power outlet available.The case is also designed to work as a stand for the Ally. That’s great for setting it down on a table at a hotel or campsite to play, or connecting to a TV with the right accessories. Having the case also act as a stand saves you from trying to bring along that cheesy compressed cardboard stand that came with the Ally, which probably wouldn’t last five minutes inside a piece of luggage.The Syntech case has a very nice look to it too. The white outer material with black trim is a great match to the Rog Ally design. When someone sees you open up the Syntech case, and pull out your Rog Ally, there’s no doubt that the case and machine are meant to be together. That white material also has a nice feeling texture. While it looks nice, and goes great with the Ally, the white outer material is also going to show dirt and scuffs if you aren’t careful to keep it clean. That’s the only downside I’ve seen so far, and for me, isn’t a big deal. I know there are more fastidious people who might be concerned about it, but someone very concerned with appearance is also likely to take more care to keep the case clean and unblemished.Just to see, I also put my Nintendo Switch in the case, and while it’s clearly not meant for a Switch, it does fit. I don’t have a Steam Deck, so I can’t say if that will fit or not, but I’ll take some pictures with a tape measure for anyone who wants to double check the dimensions.All in all, I think this case was a good choice, and as I said, after I’ve had a chance to actually travel with this some, if I notice anything else positive or negative to add, I’ll update my review.

At first, I thought the case was a bit big, but it quickly grew on me. The extra space actually works well because it’s very protective — I feel confident my items are safe inside.I really like how it holds my portable charger and cords neatly, keeping everything organized in one place.If you want a case that’s more roomy but keeps your tech secure and organized, this is a solid choice.

Really sturdy case. My Rog Ally Z extreme 2TB fits perfectly in it and I use it to mount the rog for tv hookup. It props it up to avoid overheating and protects it from falls. The added fold protects the screen from all damage such as scratches. Definitely great quality. My charger fits directly under the rog inside the case too, so convenient

I got this for my trip and it was perfect. I got a small dock and it fit in the bottom nicely. Room for everything I needed. Everything felt protected and snug. I am not a fan of the white just because it will get dirty but looks fine. Functioned perfectly.

Been using it for couple months now. It fits my ROG Ally X very well. My only complain is the middle divider, it won’t rest on top of my handheld very well. Everytime I have to push it down and close the case. Very annoying. Storage space is tight but somehow you can manage to put the power supply in. Outshell is hard enough to protect the machine. If I put the skin on my Ally it won’t fit in the case very well. And I use a silicone skin. If you use a metal one it might not fit inside the case.

I have this in my semi truck so I can catch a vibe while I wait. It falls a lot and has good space for the charger. So far worth the price and has protected my device perfectly.

Fits perfectly, very durable product. Would definitely recommend!

The case was nice and durable. Fits my system, like a glove, easy to close and plenty of storage for the cable and memory card.
