The ROG Xbox Ally and the more powerful ROG Xbox Ally X are Windows handhelds with a 7-inch screen. There isn't much in the box besides the device, and no carrying case. Here's which accessories are worth it, what to check for fit and charging, and five products that fit, available on Amazon.de.

Transparency: We have not tested these products ourselves. All data comes from ASUS, the manufacturers and the Amazon.de product pages we checked (as of November 2026). We don't list prices because they change constantly.

Ally and Ally X by the numbers

These ASUS specs matter when picking accessories:

Glass Gorilla Glass Victus, anti-glare (AGLR) Gorilla Glass Victus, anti-glare (AGLR)

Battery 60 Wh 80 Wh
Charger per ASUS USB-C, 65 W (20 V / 3.25 A) USB-C, 65 W (20 V / 3.25 A)
Weight 670 g 715 g
Dimensions 29.0 × 12.1 × 2.75–5.09 cm 29.0 × 12.1 × 2.75–5.09 cm
Wireless Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4

Both models share the same body. Accessories listed for "ROG Xbox Ally / Ally X" fit either one.

Fit: which Ally do you have?

ASUS now sells several generations with similar names. That's the biggest trap when buying:

  • ROG Ally (2023) and ROG Ally X (2024): the older models without "Xbox" in the name. Their body has a different shape.
  • ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X (2025): the models with grips inspired by the Xbox controller. This guide is about them.
  • ROG Xbox Ally X20 (2026): Several sellers state explicitly that their cases and screen protectors for the 2025 models do not fit the X20.

For cases and grip cases the model has to match exactly, because they wrap around the body. Screen protectors are more forgiving: some are made for every 7-inch Ally from 2023 to 2025, according to the maker. ASUS lists the model numbers as RC73YA (Ally) and RC73XA (Ally X).

Charging: which charger fits?

ASUS specifies a 65 W USB-C charger (20 V / 3.25 A) for both models. Whether a charger is in the box depends on country, region and model, according to ASUS. Check the retailer's listing for what's included before you buy.

What matters:

  • USB Power Delivery with 20 V: Only then can a charger deliver the full 65 W. A small phone charger has far less power.
  • At least 65 W: A stronger charger does no harm; the device only draws what it needs.
  • The right cable: A regular 3 A USB-C cable carries at most 60 W. For the full 65 W you need a 5 A cable (rated 100 W or 240 W).

Chargers with 65 W are in our USB-C charger buying guide. On the go, a USB-C PD power bank helps; see the power bank buying guide.

What to look for in a case, grip case and glass

  • Case or grip case? A carrying case protects the handheld in your bag and comes off to play. A grip case stays on, protects corners and back and adds grip.
  • Hard shell: A rigid shell protects sticks and screen against pressure. Raised areas over the sticks are a plus.
  • Room for extras: If the charger and cables come along, you need a second layer or pocket. Slim cases usually only hold microSD cards.
  • Clear or matte glass: The screen has an anti-glare finish from the factory. A clear protector puts a smooth layer on top, so reflections are more likely to return. A matte protector is closer to the original finish but can make the image slightly softer.
  • Alignment frame: A frame makes it much easier to apply the glass straight.

Our pick in one sentence

For most people a case plus a matte screen protector is enough, along with a 65 W USB-C charger if none came in the box. If you play on the go a lot, take the JSAUX case with room for the charger; if only the device comes along, take the tomtoc.

The Ally gets more storage through its microSD slot; which card fits is covered in our microSD guide for handhelds. For playing on a TV, a dock helps, see the dock buying guide.

FAQ

Do accessories for the old ROG Ally fit the ROG Xbox Ally?

Cases and grip cases usually don't, because the body is different. Some screen protectors fit every 7-inch Ally from 2023 to 2025, according to the maker.

Does the ROG Xbox Ally come with a charger?

According to ASUS, it depends on country, region and model. Check what's included at the retailer. ASUS specifies a 65 W USB-C charger.

Is a phone charger enough?

Not as a long-term solution. ASUS specifies 65 W, and a phone charger usually delivers only a fraction of that. Use a USB-C PD charger with 20 V and at least 65 W.

Do I need a screen protector if it already has Gorilla Glass?

Not necessarily. A protector is cheaper to replace than the screen and guards against scratches, for example from sand in your bag.

Do Bluetooth headphones work with the Ally?

Yes. Both models have Bluetooth 5.4 and a 3.5 mm jack, according to ASUS.

Does the JSAUX ModCase fit the Ally X20?

No. JSAUX states explicitly that it only fits the 2025 ROG Xbox Ally and Ally X.
