Ergo Comfort Grips Case for The ASUS ROG Ally Z1 & Z1 Extreme Protective Gripcase

It’s exactly what the Ally needed! I have smaller/medium hands and i find the ergonomics of the stock case to be very uncomfortable with the right thumb stick being so low. But this case extends the back of the grip so it feels more like an Xbox One controller! It doesn’t add too much bulk either so it still maintains a pretty low profile.

First off I'd like to state that I have one of the cooling mod back shells by HandheldDIY as you'll see in the pics. While I enjoy the Rog Ally in its stock config, these grips add a better level of comfort and ergonomics akin to holding a standard controller. Its made the whole experience nicer and fairly precise when it comes to any fps games or controlling the mouse in Windows or SteamOS. As far as cons the actual material is a bit flimsy and has slight flex to it that you'll probably notice whenever you adjust your hold(Also the grips seem slightly loose possibly due to my back shell but it looks the same as stock. Just bigger back vents). Its not noticeable unless you're trying to stay quiet in a silent room. Not a deal breaker for my personal uses. The only changes I would make to the grips themselves though would be in the coverage of the vents. It doesn't seem like its affected temps despite this. Overall I give this a 4 out of 5 stars but I'd give it a 4.3 if I could since it fills out a need for ergonomic grips. Not a bad product.

At the time of writing this review, I've had it installed for no less that 5 minutes. OMG did this surpass my expectations. This should be mandatory. I can play with my large hands and have some meat to hold on to. So comfortable, no more hand cramps. Solid grip. I'd recommend getting the backplate with the kickstand built in like the clear one. OMG this is AMAZING!!!!

Overall the grips are amazing, it adds quite a bit of thickness which helps so much as far as comfort while playing for a long period of time. The rubber grip pad is a good idea, very nice spot to rest the tips of my fingers, but it would be nice to have some texture around the sides as the plastic is very smooth. I see complaints about the back buttons but I feel like it’s still just as easy to reach them I have no issues with that . My main gripe that makes me wonder if my set just had poor quality control, is the right grip is very loose and the clip towards the top by the fan keeps coming apart. Overall the right one is much more loose than the left ( the left doesn't budge at all btw) and almost feels not secure at all as the gaps in between the plastic are very noticeable. It could be because there is a little less plastic to hold it secure due to the buttons being on that side but I am unsure. I want to love it but it’s a little bothersome at times, maybe I’ll try another set and see if it was just this one I was sent this time.

As Drake famously once said, this grip is, “so thick that everybody in the room is so uncomfortable.” But uncomfortable is the LAST word I’d use to describe this. It’s super comfortable to use for a long time and is easy enough to install that an infant could do it. I’m very happy and have zero regrets, this is probably the best investment for my ROG ally. Please get this, your wrist and arm will thank you

I very much prefer to play games through local streaming, whether from my Xbox or my PC. The Ally (as a Windows PC) interfaces perfectly with those other Microsoft platforms making for a very user friendly and stable interaction. The downside for me has always been the form factor because it's too flat for me to find comfortable. The flatness is good if you want to bring it with you everywhere but I don't. I just want to go from my desk where I was working, to, afterwards, literally anywhere else around my house. These grips add quite a bit of bulk on the sides but that's EXACTLY what I was looking for. It feels like a normal controller now. They snap on very easily and have a nice solid fit to where you completely forget they're on there or even that your using a handheld PC. This product is highly recommended if you don't care about whether your Ally is optimized to be 'travel-friendly'

Based on the frequently returned tag, I'm assuming there's a lot of quality control issues, but if you get a good set, these are a game changer. This greatly extends the area that your hand rests allowing you to stretch your right thumb. way more comfortable for shooters. My only complaints are I wish it extended a little bit more on the sides. I feel like a little bit more girth there would help a lot. When trying to use the triggers, my index finger tends to pinch between the grip and the trigger as well. Not sure if there's a solution there like shaving it down with razor or something

Feels great in my hands. Decent Material especially for the price.
