    Just got my Killswitch today and I am quite happy so far. Found it by accident but glad i did, looks better than the others I've seen.

    The JSAUX is really good the only issue is the fit on the top. It’s not completely snug which is a shame. JSAUX should add the flaps like the killswitch has

    • @GamingRepairs
      @GamingRepairs  Месяц назад

      That is a shame that the fit isn’t as snug. The material is softer and more stretchy. Flaps would be nice to help keep the shape when installing. Their price point is great for the quality you get. Half the price of the killswitch.

    For the KillSwitch, the snap case gets a bit looser as you use it. What bugs me more is that you can't remove the kickstand. I almost want to cut it off. I have a nice Ugreen dock I can't use anymore because the kick stand get's in the way.

    @calvin3941 2 дня назад

    Thank you for the video, I don't tend to drop my devices very often so my main purpose in getting one of these cases would be for grip purposes. I'm prone to getting sweaty hands when playing, can I ask which you would recommend for the best grip? It would be great if you could rank them from best to worst. Thank you :)

    • @GamingRepairs
      @GamingRepairs  День назад

      Hey! You’re welcome! My favourite is the killswitch for overall premium quality, tight fit, and full protection (I use the cover daily) with the best sweaty grip in my opinion because it’s the most course. If you skin the obsidian skin, they’ll also send you the triple black with it typically (2 for 1 skin pick). The killswitch just went on a Black Friday sale today.
      My second would be the skull and co for the open back on the vents and comfort. Sweaty grip rating I’d give in par with the jsaux one. No kickstand but it can self stand upright with the flat bottom. No front cover but the best if you plan on replacing the back cover with an aftermarket coloured or transparent one when they eventually release. Probably will have a sale for Black Friday too.
      The jsaux one is also on sale for Black Friday. Feedback on the Ally X one is that the top stretches when you put it on. Take a few days to retract but not quite snug. Has the front cover (which I love) and the grip is the softest. Again, sweaty grip rating not as good with the soft grip.

      @ Wow, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide such a detailed reply. It definitely wasn’t necessary, but I’m incredibly grateful nonetheless.
      You’ve totally sold me on the Killswitch, especially with the Black Friday sale, it feels like a no-brainer.
      I can’t thank you enough! The least I can do is subscribe to your channel. I noticed you’ve owned a variety of portable consoles, including the OnexPlayer X1. I’d love to see a tier-list style video comparing it to devices like the SD and Ally. I’m really interested in trying one myself, but honestly, it’s totally outside my budget for a handheld.
      Oh, and one last thing, how do you feel about the Dbrand screen protector? Does it negatively impact the experience compared to not using a screen protector at all?
      Thanks again!

    • @GamingRepairs
      @GamingRepairs  День назад

      @calvin3941 You’re welcome! Thanks for the sub! I appreciate it. Spoiler, the full X1 is my favourite device but I have the Intel version because there wasn’t an AMD available at the time. So… I bought the X1 mini 8840u when they released it for the AMD experience - also great. Onexplayer is going to be releasing a new the X1 series with new AMD chips and I’ll definitely buy one of those. The Ally will always hold a special place in my heart and the Ally X filled it even more. It’s a such a solid travel, budget, and in country support friendly device for North America especially with the Best Buy store fronts.
      I prefer the jsaux matte screen protector 2 pack(anti glare) over the dbrand high and price glossy glare single pack one. The case is really good with any screen protector. Amazon has the jsaux ones too and last prime day they were on sale so I expect they will be on Black Friday too.
      I’m curious which skin you’ll pick? Haha

But then again its a euro device so its not that bad in comparison.

      Hey! There is a Jsaux for the Rog Ally X. I have a link to it in the description. Jsaux is half the price and a great product. It’s not as tight of a fit as the killswitch because Jsaux uses a much softer material. I don’t use the Jsaux anymore because my modded backplate doesn’t line up with the vent holes for Jsaux. I did like it though.

      No, I haven’t watched his video yet but I did see the thumbnail pic and it looks similar to the 3D printed Etsy ones for the Legion Go. I had printed the Legion go ones and yeah, they were a lot better but the Legion go didn’t have any true grip options. I personally wouldn’t pull off my grippy full protection case (with sweat resistance too) on my expensive Ally X to rock only the plastic grips. I also don’t want to be taking the case in and off for travel protection and stretching it out. I’m assuming those are 3D printed ones too, right?
