Which accessories are you all getting for your frame? It would be nice to compile a list of suggestions here. All the official accessories were sold out when I ordered my Frame, but I was OK with that. I have a laptop charger that I’m using to charge it, and the ergonomic kit doesn’t seem really essential.
This is what I’m considering getting or already ordered (in the US):
Case I looked at a bunch of options but they seem either too expensive, too ugly, or have disappointing functional design. I think I’m going to go with a DSLR camera case instead because I think it would work just as well but look better and be more versatile. My plan is to put the headset by itself with a lens protector on one side of the camera bag divider, the controllers on the other side, and charger, cables, battery packs, etc., in an external pocket. I’m looking at this one in particular, which seems to be the a good size, price, and look for me, and is available from a nearby camera shop for the suggested price: https://www.kfconcept.com/KF13.179_5l-camera-sling-bag-urban-wander-05-black
Update: the case above worked like I expected. it’s a snug fit for the headset standing on its end, but I think it’s good.
Power Bank I’m looking at this one (INIU 10,000mah PD 45W), which is available from the local Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/iniu-portable-charger-markets-smallest-10000mah-pd-45w-power-bank-with-layout-usb-c-cable-for-iphone-samsung-pixel-etc-black/CZW8VCWVTF/sku/6670987
Cable to connect a battery in my back pocket with the Frame while I use it. Someone suggested a coiled cable, which I thought was a good idea. I found this one (Smallrig 5730) which is not only coiled but has one angled connector, on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/127902849864
Update: a couple of people in the discussion below have suggested not using a coiled cable because of weight and the coils possibly pulling at the battery pack. Try at your own risk or wait for confirmation of how well this works.
Lens Protector to protect the lens and screens from damage, not only from sunlight, but also from scratches, impact, etc. Found this one on eBay too (unfortunately shows out of stock right now, but you may find it or something similar elsewhere): https://www.ebay.com/itm/366526245964?var=636238931153
Can anyone think of anything else or have better suggestions in place of the items above?
Edit: I just added my country. It may be helpful if everyone making suggestions includes the country or at least continent to help others know if they may or may not find that item available to them.
I really need prescription lenses for the Frame, but am hesitating on which to buy.
Zenni is Steam’s recommendation, and was out of stock immediately, with no communication on future availability.
VR Optician seems like a safe choice quality wise, but it’s 3-4 weeks fabrication, then shipping from Germany and clearing customs. Also the most expensive option, but I want quality lenses and would be willing to pay appropriately. I’m just also impatient.
AMVR is on version 2. AMVR version 1 is the only lens I can find a review of, and it wasn’t favorable. The frames for the lenses for both versions are 3D printed, and apparently don’t mount very securely. I have a fairly large astigmatism in my dominant eye, so the lens potentially rotating a bit from where it is supposed to be is a significant downside.
VR-rock is suspicious. Using some pics from the quest, and not very clear about how they are mounted. For other headsets they have a magnetically mounted lens option, which I would go for, but it looks like that isn’t available for the Frame, at least right now.
Anybody who has already gotten a pair of Rx lenses?
Update: zenni is back in stock. But they don’t support a cyl (astigmatism correction) value outside of -2 to 2.
