Description:
Your PS Portal will never be in danger again thanks to this cheap case heres how Id rate it after weeks of testing.

FULL STORY ======================================================================PowerA Protection Case for PS Portal review The PowerA Protection Case for PlayStation Portal is designed to keep your beloved remote player protected from scratches, drops, bolts of lightningyou name it. OK, I was lying about that last one, but this case is a very durable option indeed, and during my two weeks testing it, its proved to be a highly reliable carry case heres why.

First of all, lets talk about the cases exterior. This is a hard case, so its not the most flexible or anything, but its very resistant to damage of all kinds. When dropping the case, scratching it, throwing it in a bag, it didnt show any signs of wear whatsoever. The cases interior is also well optimized for damage-prevention in a number of key ways. First of all, the inside is molded to your remote player, enabling it to securely slot into place. Theres also a couple of hook-and-loop straps, which keep it fastened when youre on the go. On top of that, youll find a padded screen-protector flap for preventing scratches. There are so many layers of protection here, enabling this model to compete with some of the very best PS5 accessories . Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

This screen-shielding flap does even more, though. Thats right, it also has a mesh flap on the top side, which is excellent for storing small accessories.
I found it very useful for storing cables and wireless earbuds, for instance, making it easy to take plenty of gaming gear on the go. Sure, theres no room for a headset or anything large, but this case is meant to fall on the more minimalist side. (Image credit: Future) PowerA Protection Case for PS Portal at Amazon for 14.99 While some may still find PowerA's case to be on the
bulky side I found the Venom Carry Case for PlayStation Portal to have a
more modest footprint this model is still very portable, and it easily fits in my work bag alongside my laptop, Nintendo Switch 2 , and Sony WH-1000XM6 .

Something else worth mentioning is the inclusion of a cable passthrough feature. Theres a tab on the underside of the case that you can insert a
USB-C cable into and charge up your Portal, even when its boxed away. This is very convenient, and I used it to safely charge my system in my bag, with it connected up to a power bank.

Before we wrap up, lets talk looks. This model is available in either Black
or White, and I used the latter variant. This looks incredibly on-brand for the Portal and indeed the PS5 retaining that fairly futuristic aesthetic.
My only complaint in terms of the look would be the fabric handle, which appears a little cheap in comparison to the rest of the case. But this can be forgiven for a case that only costs $34.99 / 19.99 / AU$49.95.

So, is the PowerA Protection Case for PlayStation Portal worth the money? Absolutely. Its relatively rugged, its well-priced, and it even looks the part. The molded interior and screen-protecting flap keep your remote player safe and secure, and the cable passthrough feature is something you wont get on every case out there. Therefore, its an easy recommendation from me.

Value

A very reasonable price for a great case overall.

4.5/5 Buy it if You want to protect your Portal for less Something that I absolutely loved about PowerAs case was its low price. For just $34.99 /
19.99 / AU$49.95, you get a very reliable, durable case thats sure to keep your Portal safe. Youre looking for charging cable passthrough If you want to charge your Portal on the go, then having cable passthrough is a pretty great feature. You can keep your remote player safe, juice it up, and keep on
moving without any worries. Dont buy it if You want loads of room for accessories Although this case has room for a cable and some earbuds, say,
its still on the more compact side. So dont expect to fit a headset or any larger accessories in here. Youre searching for something with a premium look Although the PowerA Protection Case is on-brand for the Portal, and looks pretty solid for its price, its not exactly the most luxurious. It has a relatively cheap handle, and there are more swanky, higher-priced options for those who want something ultra-classy.

It features a whole lot of storage space, its hard as nails, and it keeps your system incredibly secure. Its a little pricey, with a $54.99 / 28.99 / AU$134.99 list price, but we think the
quality on offer makes it worth the investment.

How I tested the PowerA Protection Case for PS Portal (Image credit: Future) Used the case for multiple weeks Directly compared against other models Tested by a seasoned gaming accessories reviewer I spent weeks testing the PowerA Protection Case for PlayStation Portal, taking it with me just about everywhere I went throughout the process. While testing, I made sure to try stuffing various accessories in the case and also try out the cable passthrough feature.

To test the cases durability, I tried dropping it from a controlled height, performed some scratch tests, and reviewed wear and tear after the testing period concluded. I also assessed it against rivals, including the Venom
Carry Case for PlayStation Portal, on factors such as robustness and storage space.

More generally, Ive been reviewing all kinds of gadgets at TechRadar for more than two years. Ive tested a whole lot of gaming accessories, including cases like the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case and screen protectors, such as the Genki Aegis Shield .
