Rick Dangerous Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Loving my flashback portable. Would love to get a carrying case for it (using a sock currently) and a decent screen protector. Has anyone seen ANY accessories for this little $40 wonder yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Easy options: PSVita case PSP slip sleeve Glasses case I tried to get someone on Etsy to make me a case out of Pac-Man fabric, but it's too tight. Sad face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Sometime in the past they had accessories included with them but not anymore other than the minimal usb charge cable. i recall they used to include an a/v cable to plug it into the TV and the device still retains that ability if you have one. I don't think they ever sold a case so that's up to you to find a fit that works. No one ever made a screen protector but I would think if you bought a large enough one for something like the Vita or even the Switch and then cut it down to fit you'd be good.

Rick Dangerous Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 The sunglasses soft case is a great idea! I'm going to dig one out tonight that will fit it. I'm thinking cheap android screen protector off Amazon, cut to the right size. Thanks for the ideas folks. Wish their were some genuine accessories for this little beast... Actually I wish there was a $200 version of this that was accordingly high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 An old sunglasses case bag works perfectly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 I got a new cell phone recently and they put this "liquid glass" on the screen rather than the tempered glass screen-cover. I wonder if that would work on this, or is the plastic screen protector to cheap for this kind of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 You should take one for the team and find out! Personally, I despise having anything on any screen, touch or not. If the "liquid glass" is like this, I wouldn't bother with it ... keeping the device in a sock should be sufficient coverage for a $40 toy!

Rick Dangerous Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Did the screen protector today. Took an extra old tablet protector and cut it in a nice square to fit the screen. Took some time to do it right and no bubbles! I will say it cuts down on glare and makes the viewing at angles better for some reason. I definitely recommend this, i'm not worried about scratching the screen anymore! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Thanks for the tip. I didn't see the soft case so I got the hard one for 6.99. https://www.amazon.com/Travel-Instruments-Graphing-Calculator-CO2CREA/dp/B017B2BIZ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
