Best ASUS ROG Ally accessories for travel
As a portable handheld device, the ROG Ally has been designed with travel in mind. Weighing lighter than the Steam Deck, we’ve picked out our favourite travel accessories that should complement all the crowning features of the Ally.
Anker 747 power bank

Connector type
USB Type C, USB Type A
Battery Capacity
25,600mAh
Wall charger
65W
- Fast charging
- Abundance of ports
- Doesn’t come with a cable
A powerful portable charger is a must for anyone wanting to game on the go without the anxiety of running out of juice. There were lots of portable chargers to choose from, but we thought the Anker 733 fit the bill nicely. It’s capable of recharging the ROG Ally at least twice and will do it speedily too, thanks to 65W of power.
Paying attention to weight is important here if you’re planning to carry your accessories around with you. The Anker 733 weighs 1.3 pounds and is around the same length as your Ally’s 7-inch display which isn’t bad at all. Considering its abundance in ports too, you’ve got yourself a great balance between size and performance.
There are lots more power banks out there, so if you’re keen for a budget option, check out the best ASUS ROG Ally power banks.

Whether you’re out and about, or simply accident-prone, you will want to protect that nice looking 7 inch display. A screen protector such as this will do the job nicely, featuring 0.3mm tempered glass protection that fits easily across the ROG Ally touch screen. Without adding bulk, you’re getting 9H hardness too which means your screen should be both water and scratch resistant.

This shockproof travel case comes highly recommended for the ASUS ROG Ally. It’s significantly larger than the official ROG Ally case, with room to fit a dock, charger and generic items like a notebook or wallet. We’re particularly impressed by its anti-theft combination zipper which allows for better peace of mind on the go.
The bag’s plug-in USB charging feature is also appealing, and overall, this case offers great all-round protection. The combination of heat dissipation and its hard shell protection means your ASUS ROG Ally will be safe and sound from accidental drops.
Finally, this shockproof case is available in lots of different colours, allowing you to add that personal touch to your ASUS ROG Ally.

There’s also a stand mode found in the middle pocket tab which is ideal for mounting your Ally for playing or watching content. Overall, it’s a good choice for those looking to secure a case for the ROG Ally immediately from when it arrives. There will no doubt be a wider range of cases arriving soon, so we recommend checking out the best ASUS ROG Ally cases too once the handheld releases.

You can get up to 2TB of storage here with 3D V-NAND memory technology that ensures a stable operation.
It’s worth noting that players who have upgraded their SSD cards are finding the Cloud recovery taking a long time. Before you’ve replaced your SSD, make sure you update everything on the MYASUS app before restarting the Ally.
