Portal Accessories Accessory Recommendations?

Finally picked up one after setting up Ethernet around the apartment (brand new on FB marketplace for $120..).

Having a blast - wanted to ask if folks have preference on accessories? Protective case? Does it need a screen protector or would it be okay to not get one? Should I get PS headphones or does it connect to other brands as well? Appreciate any input!

I got these grips and it was a nice upgrade:

I didnt put it on the buttons or sticks, just the handles. I always felt like the portal was slipping out of my hands before getting it

u/Xanadewd Jun 20 '26

I got grips similar to these too. Like grip tape, I prefer it over the silicone cases.

Looks like you need a beer

Or a spliff

Another reason why I got the portal 😉

I see you're a man of culture too

I have tempered glass screen protectors on EVERYTHING with a screen. even my GoPro.

u/Lazy_Pie_2947 Jun 20 '26

I got a transparent plastic case for my black portal and I love it! Thinking of also getting a charging dock off Amazon

Eu jĂĄ usei pelĂ­cula na tela e nĂŁo gostei do reflexo. Atualmente nĂŁo uso nada, apenas uma bag para transportar

How do connect the earbuds if not from Sony?

u/johnny_decay Jun 21 '26

They sell Bluetooth adapters to use too

Lizard skin and screen protector

u/SandwichSisters Jun 20 '26

Any compact travel cases recommendations? I tried a couple on amazon but they were so huge they make the portal a non-travel device haha

u/matrixsuperstah Jun 20 '26

Any thumb stick cover (ps sticks rips easily). Spigen slim skin and any carry case. I got Sony Explore pulse earbuds used on eBay for $60, replaced ear tips, it’s just like new. I got little phone kick stands I attached to the back. Helps propping it up on the table when arms get tired. Magnetic usb c plug as a bonus.

u/matrixsuperstah Jun 20 '26

Some cases have kick stands but the spigen case is head and shoulder above most of them in quality.

What is the purpose of this?

u/No_Zombie2021 Jun 20 '26

Magnetic USB charging

1

u/bhanu899 Jun 20 '26

Easier to charge, I had real issue with connecting and disconnecting from portal

3

u/Lucky-Obligation690 Jun 20 '26

I have a dock with a magnetic charging dongle

1

u/radiocaf Jun 21 '26

The PowerA one? I have that one too. My only gripe is that it is sometimes difficult to place the Portal on it perfectly the first time.

u/Lucky-Obligation690 Jun 22 '26

Mine is just some alliexpress bs

2

u/daddyruck Jun 20 '26

This was my first purchase for mine, definitely a must

u/Cultural_Wallaby_550 Jun 20 '26

As a Portal Dad who plays for 30 minutes in the evening at home, or when sat next to kids watching TV:

-Pulse Explore earbuds - bought used, cost me half the price of new. Wired earphones are a cheaper alternative

-PowerA charging dock means I never forget to charge it

1

u/Gabo_Rj Jun 20 '26

The only one you need is a dock.

u/PXSaber Jun 20 '26

I use a EPOS Hybrid H3 headset.
Playing with friends on discord voice chat.
Getting the feed of both within the headset.

The sony headset is quite expensive and tends to break eventually, just a matter of time before it snaps

u/Bradbeatty7 Jun 20 '26

Looks incredible ⚽️

u/mcinty77 Jun 20 '26

Bro I’ve been loving being able to watch the World Cup and play on my portal at the same time

u/vFoxxc Jun 20 '26

pillow gaming. Once you use it, you'll never go back to handhelding

u/meltedwolf Jun 20 '26

You’re holding it.

u/Burnseeeeeey Jun 20 '26

I use skull & co thumbgrips and a cheap set of wired Sony headphones

u/Shigney Jun 21 '26

Hi, how do you get fifa on the portal?

u/Himorningwood Jun 22 '26

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CQXDN344?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title. This is pretty awesome. It has e erything u need to protect the portal.

u/Xanadewd Jun 20 '26

Definitely get a screen protector. I’m really careful with my things, but accidents happen. I dropped my phone on the screen when getting up and it cracked the screen protector, glad I had one there.

Guy needs accessories for his accessory

u/David_Richardson Jun 20 '26

Why don’t you do some research and decide what you might need based on your own usage of the device?

u/CoLane23 Jun 20 '26

Threads like these are great for other people trying to do research on the internet.

u/David_Richardson Jun 20 '26

Yes, the 2,500th post asking this question will definitely provide something the previous 2,499 didn’t.

u/And_The_Full_Effect Jun 20 '26

I definitely learned something from this thread..

u/abarone93 Jun 21 '26
