Which screen protectors and cases fit the ASUS ROG Ally X perfectly?

Question

So I just finally pulled the trigger on the Ally X and it arrives tomorrow but Im freaking out a little because I leave for a long flight to Japan in less than two weeks and I still havent found a case that definitely fits. I keep seeing people say that the original ROG Ally cases work but then other folks are saying the X is way thicker and has those different ergonomics so it just doesnt sit right or it puts pressure on the sticks which sounds like a nightmare.

I looked at the Dbrand stuff and some random ones on Amazon but the reviews are all over the place with people complaining about the cutout for the port being off or the screen protector not covering the edges properly because of the slight curve. I really need something that fits like a glove because I dont want to scratch this thing up in my carry-on. My budget is around 50 bucks for both since I spent so much on the handheld itself. Does anyone actually have an Ally X in hand and can confirm a specific screen protector and a hardshell case that actually fits perfectly without wobbling around inside?

Make sure to check depth specs before buying. The X is 4.5mm thicker than the original, so hardshells meant for the base model might crush your sticks. I would suggest the JSAUX Carrying Case for ROG Ally X BG0102L because it accounts for that extra depth. For the screen, the dbrand Tempered Glass Screen Protector for ROG Ally X is one of the few that dont lift at the edges. Good luck with the trip!

Just saw your post and honestly you gotta be cautious with anything labeled for the original Ally. The added depth on the X is a real issue and you might want to consider how much pressure is hitting those hall effect sensors when the case is zipped. Since you are flying soon, you definitely need something that wont let the sticks click or drift while shoved in a carry-on. I would suggest checking these out to stay under budget:

Butterfox Large Carrying Case for ROG Ally X has deep stick wells and enough vertical clearance to keep the screen safe.

amFilm OneTouch Tempered Glass for ROG Ally X 2-Pack comes with an alignment frame that really helps get it centered. Make sure you verify the exact model numbers before ordering tho. Some sellers are kinda lazy and just relabeling old stock that doesnt actually account for the new ergonomics. I would hate for you to get to Japan and realize your screen is peeling at the edges because the cut was slightly off.

Re: "Just saw your post and honestly you gotta..."

Yeah, I totally agree. Unfortunately I had issues with a generic shell that was not as good as expected. It basically felt like it was crushing the hall sensors... ngl I was so stressed about it. The ivoler Carrying Case for ROG Ally X ended up being way safer for travel. Also, grab the amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for ROG Ally X since others wont cover the edges right.
