Just finish designing this Performance Grip Case for the RG477m. Portability is great, but adding a little more comfort really helped.
Hey everyone! I’ve been loving the premium feel of the RG477M, but it was getting a bit uncomfortable for long sessions. When I get online to search for grip cases, I was pretty disappointed by available options on AliExpress, Etsy, etc. So I decided to dust off my industrial design skills from school and design my own.
A few details:
- Ergonomic Design: Features a textured palm swell for extra stability and comfort for longer play time.
- Reverse to Protect: Because the symmetrical design of the front and back of RG477m, the grip case can flip around and slide in to protect the screen. The palm swell fits over the buttons to protect them. Pop it into your bag you are ready to go.
- Snug Fit: Happy to report that it slides on pretty snug, without scratching the metal shell. Although I wouldn't go swinging it around only holding the handle to test its snugness...
- Better Buttons Compatible: I haven't tested this on my own, but according to my first few customers, the case has no issue working with or without the better button trigger mod. My own order of the trigger mod is arriving soon, so I can test it myself.
- Full Access: All ports and the SD card slot remain fully accessible in either direction.
Full transparency, I’ve just listed these on my Etsy shop, Dragonfly Gaming, if anyone is interested in picking one up: There are three case designs for the RG477m.
- The OG design, most pocketable with good ergonomics: Pocket Grip Case
- The comfortable yet still compact: Pro Grip Case
- The one shown in the photo is the most ergonomic: Performance Grip Case
I am in the process of new making grip designs with the same philosophy (simple, ergonomic, reversible, full access) but for other handhelds. Focusing on flat-back compact designs that doesn't have good grip built in. Would love to hear suggestions for what I make next.
Do you have a console that is begging for a better grip case?
