UPDATE: Now I've been testing this for a while there's some serious problems with it. I go over all of that in our comparison, that I highly recommend you watch before buying, against the Skull & Co GripCase for the ALLY X here: ua-cam.com/video/mtUcBl9BgNM/v-deo.html
idk why my ocd always ruins things but if you pause at 4:11 and look at the top part of the case & how it lines up with the bezel of the screen T.T. I mean for the price it still looks amazing and all other portions of the fit look great!! Just reminded me of a cheaper ipad case i ordered a while back that at first fit like a glove an then became a little loosey goosey, ty for showing this off i am absolutely tempted!! edit : ok sooo this is why you dont pause the video and type a comment lol. you literally nailed my one issue seconds after i hit play lol. this is why i love your content, you call it like you see it. yes your feeding the hype chain but your being honest while doing so! cheers!
ordered mine (power bank combo) also on September 8, 2024. Cannot wait for it to get here @7:52 I think it is fair to say you left out the other items you get that makes the dbrand $75 USD. You get a microfiber cloth, a front skin of your choice and thumb stick grips. Even though Dbrand says free shipping I believe shipping it from Toronto, Ontario, Canada is absorbed in that $75.
I'm personally waiting for the Skull & Co since i loved that on my original ROG. I do question though why you would talk about that lip not covering the front as if the fit isn't correct but decide to ''fix'' it after the video. Why? It's a review. We as the audience should know whether it's a bad fit because it just doesn't fit right or if it's not put on correctly.
@@mistermars9534 100% can't wait for the skull & co. I wouldn't call this a review, I literally state at the beginning I just received it minutes prior to filming. A review, in my opinion, requires time and testing/thought on what could be done better etc. I'd call this a first look. I intend to pin a comment and do a revised video on my extended use, likely in the comparison to the skull & co video.
Great video as always. I was deciding between this and the dbrand killswitch. I wish spigen made the thin fit kickstand case for the Ally x. I had it on my steam Oled. By far my favorite case.
I had a case similar on the Ally, and it made the device very hot. The Ally X runs colder, but I’m still a little scared of trying something like this again. After watching this video though, looking at the quality and the low price, ordered one to try it!
Not that I watch other ally x videos cos I wouldn’t do that. If you can warm the case up you can manipulate that top section to pull it over to fit tight (apparently) Nice video (again) I might wait for S&Co too..
Is the Jsaux 6-in-1 docking hub not compatible with this? The Steam Deck version of the mod case lets you attach a docking hub on the back for hdmi and more ports, is this not compatible with the same accessories? The attachment slot seems to be in a different position so maybe not?
Good case but I do think the extra for the dbrand killswitch is very much worth it. Also it ships to the uk for something like £9.95, ordered the OG Ally killswitch with travel cover and thumb grips yesterday for £56 total. Would like to see your review on it as the quality is seriously amazing, its a bit of a strange company with the way they advertise etc but its a very premium product.
I’ve ordered the killswitch with 20% discount but since Jsaux one came out, I’ve been wondering if should cancel the order and save some money to go for this. The top part of Jsaux not fitting snugly is also what some redditers commented but some says no issue so not sure if it’s inconsistency in their production quality or what. Somehow I want to keep the killswitch order as I know that will definitely fit very well and is also well made
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I'm from UK and I place an order for kill swich case for asus rog ally x debrand and it cost me the full set with skin, hard case, thumb for the joystick a total of £49.52 not over £100 how you said. But nice video and thank you to bring a new case competitor for asus rog ally x
I did the pre-order, as now the case is released, perhaps have a different price, not sure. Tomorrow, Royal Mail will bring my order, and i can let you know about the quality. For example, i use co&go skull cases for my swich they are very good, but when i bought a high-quality one, you can feel the difference. At the end you will don't drop the device but you buy the case to enhance the feelingwhen holding and in case of a dropto have some peace@mza2001
@@Isa-hf8pg I'd personally avoid the case, it's frustrating to me with it not fitting right the the cut outs for the USB C ports are small, making certain accessories not fit correctly. The grip feels good though and the adjustable stand works great though. I'm waiting on my skull & co to arrive, hoping that will be the one to go for!
If dbrand isn't costed me arms and legs (which triple the amount on JSAUX to deliver to Malaysia), I would go for it but right now my choice is JSAUX one definitely
dbrand uses higher quality materials but only has a kickstand. I value the modular customizability of the jsaux case and it is SO much cheaper. So I much prefer the jsaux case.
This review is a bit ridiculous. Here you say everything fits except for the lip, that things line up. Your comparison with Skull Co? All is bad , all is wrong. Doesn’t make me full of confidence on your reviews
Pretty shocking that they don't supply you with one for such an expensive premium product... but then this is Asus were talking about, King of the price gougers when it comes to PC tech.
My ally is garbage after 3 months and so is Asus and there customer service they are disgusting they want blacklisting from selling anything. Gaslighting on gamers nexus they haven't changed atal.

A youtuber called Eta prime made of video of the temperatures with this case on. Go and take a look.
D brand one also doesn’t have any effect on temps according to tests I’ve seen on UA-cam
So sad that jaaux doent fix the fit of there cases its loose on top
Pre-ordered my skull and coat grip last week! Had one for my OG Ally and loved it. 🔥
Not that I watch other ally x videos cos I wouldn’t do that. If you can warm the case up you can manipulate that top section to pull it over to fit tight (apparently)

Just got mine in the mail today definitely happy with it for the price for sure
Just got mine today, had a cheap ebay one for 20 bucks this is way better!
You don’t pay import tax on items under £125 I thought
U lucky bugger. 128kb is such a good name for a tech channel!!!
Thanks so much, we love it :)
Modcase and jsaux 6 in 1 docking station just arrived
videos incoming ;)
Just got my killswitch and that’s my end game case
I purchased the dbrand killswitch. I hope I made the right choice.
Just ordered the Skull and co with the EDC Case. 😊
Jsaux make some nice stuff including some excellent gaming docks!
Agreed!

Do you know when the killswitch coming out it says September but no date
@@jakecfc3477 if not mistaken, they said will ship out mid September. But no exact date given so far
@hjshoon5244 okay thanks for the response mate I ordered jsaux modcase at min not sure if they ship killswitch to uk
This thing is a beast switching from the steam deck
Going to get it, when i purchase my Rog x. Great video

Interesting! Hopefully you don't receive any import duties. They've clearly changed their shipping prices since last year then!
I think so, is first time when i order from them. Anyway looking forward to your review on it and comparation. @128KB
How did u get it at £49? My basket shows £65 and having second thoughts on spending such, Skull Co with EDC is £29

Yes another video of ally from my fave creator !!!!
It doesn't fit right around the top ...avoid it. You've been warned.
After two weeks, is the top part still flimsy?
@@Isa-hf8pg yes, I'll do an updated video soon. I'd avoid it personally.
@@128KB avoid the case itself or just ignore the flimsy part as it is not a big deal?

@@128KB Can't wait for the next vid! Do you have an ETA for the skull & co to hit the markets?
@@Isa-hf8pgit’s out on the website, shipping will be in October. Amazon ETA? No idea
Thumbs Up for those who can admit when they are wrong
I bought it today and I got the bundle
That’s a sick as t shirt bro
2:47 thats what she said
This or dbrand???
If dbrand isn't costed me arms and legs (which triple the amount on JSAUX to deliver to Malaysia), I would go for it but right now my choice is JSAUX one definitely
dbrand uses higher quality materials but only has a kickstand. I value the modular customizability of the jsaux case and it is SO much cheaper. So I much prefer the jsaux case.
This review is a bit ridiculous. Here you say everything fits except for the lip, that things line up.
Your comparison with Skull Co? All is bad , all is wrong.
Doesn’t make me full of confidence on your reviews
Pretty shocking that they don't supply you with one for such an expensive premium product... but then this is Asus were talking about, King of the price gougers when it comes to PC tech.
Looks like if it falls the case will just pop off I’m not really impressed
My ally is garbage after 3 months and so is Asus and there customer service they are disgusting they want blacklisting from selling anything. Gaslighting on gamers nexus they haven't changed atal.
Jsaux is the best for cases
Really disliked the grips on them, feels too slippery
its the opposite they’re really grippy even with sweaty hands lol
