Syntech Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2, ROG Ally/Ally X

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 travel Room for the essential accessories It’s also a stand for table top/TV-connected play White with black trim matches the Rog Ally aesthetic Reasonably priced Cons: That white and black aesthetic is going to be a dirt and scuff magnet if you aren’t careful Suggestions 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.

This is a good value and fits the Ally X very well and protects it from drops while providing a handle and storage for plenty of accessories. I occasionally use its easel/stand option, but it's not perfect as the case is taking up lots of extra space when set up that wai, and is a bit wobbly unless you weigh down the bottom part.

Convenient, looks good, and has plenty of internal space (fits game console, charger, portable keyboard and mouse, and a small mouse pad).

The Asus Rog doesn't come with a case, that's annoying. That's OK because I found this case and it fit like a glove. Now I can throw the Rog into a bag or carry separately without worrying about dropping or breaking it. Exactly what a case should do. The shell is extremely solid but overall its fairly light weight. Additionally, the interior is lined with a microfiber that completely eased my mind around screen scratches or otherwise. Well done on the case.

I got this case just to easily transport my ally without worrying about it being damaged. I have not used the kickstand function yet but the rest makes this a great value. The case is a nice quality and the ally fits perfect even with a case it still fit. I have taken this on multiple trips and it has kept the Ally safe. I got the Anker 737 power brick and a long USB C cable as a charger and it has plenty of space to store this and a small laptop dock

When I purchased the ROG Ally X for my son, I knew that a case would be needed as well. I was a bit disappointed that ASUS didn't seem to have any good options, given that they manufacture the device . . . it makes no sense that they wouldn't have a case option. These 3rd party cases can be a bit risky, and you never know what kind of quality they'll end up being, or whether the device will even fit well. I have to say that this case is GREAT! It is a tough feeling, sturdy case that I know will protect my Ally in the car, on trips, or packed in a suitcase. Plenty of storage for the charging cable and some SD cards (which I won't have, but still worth mentioning). Overall, I'm happy with this purchase.

I accidentally bought it for the new ally xbox X. I swear I thought the description said it was compatible. Well, in case anyone's wondering, it does fit, but it doesnt conform to the molding of the case, in particular there's alot of clearance between the back buttons and the notches for them; its like the ally is sitting on top of it rather than in it. I took pictures from the front so you can see how much of the device sits above the bottom part of the case. I will say though, it does close easily, and does feel very secure. That being said, its an amazing case. It is reassuringly hard, and the bottom storage is spacious. I fit my 3rd party charger, usb-c case, wired earphones, and a small portable DAC/AMP combo. The only flaw, and a very minor one, is that I feel there's wasted space under the handle molding, like it could have had side pockets there to store cables or other small accessories. Still, its very minor. I think I will keep it even though its not meant for the xbox allies

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC carrying case! I LOVE how soft the inside is and the extra carry space for small items like my wireless earbuds

The case matches the white rog ally very well, hence why I bought this case. Looks really good and has enough space for rog ally to be placed inside gently. It's made out of good quality so it will protect the console. Very convenient portable for for trips or travelling too. Would recommend!

Over one year and a half of used and travel and I need to say : Very durable Scratch resist Good for traveling and protecting the console. Fit in most backpacks. Extra storage inside Price: cheap for the huge quality. Cons A bit bigger that what you will expected. Fully recommended!

Case fit the Rog ally perfectly. Fits the charger in there as well. Works as it should. Easy to carry around when you need to.

Buen tamaño

Excellent case. Good storage for the charger too. Everything is neat and the protection feels robust as it’s a hard case.
