Plug this into the AVP battery and extend time on the AVP without having to plug into an outlet.
I’m thinking the thought is to charge the battery with this rather than buying a separate battery at $199. Actually not a bad idea.
Part of me agrees, thinking a hard case might be the best way to go for this device.
But I think both those case options might not be deep enough to fit the vision pro.

Bluetooth Keyboards...which one is best for AVP?
I want a keyboard that sits in my lap much like my laptop. It would need to be heavier than many I tried, because typing on my lap I like the stability that the weight of my keyboard gives me. I'd also like to have palm rests like my laptop gives me. Any suggestions?

I am going to use old my Apple BT keyboard I swapped out for a Touch ID on my Studio.
Assuming that most Quest Cases will also work for the AVP, this one catches my attention. I'll be using a bluetooth keyboard as well, and this would fit that it seems without problem.

Get a lap tray for the stability and put any keyboard you want on it
Yeah...I've thinking about that. I also was thinking that perhaps I could 3D print a tray that fits the Apple Magic Keyboard as a drop-in and adds the perfect weight and palm rests.
This is what I got and have it sitting on a lap tray.

but you won't be able to see the outside world when using it.How about an 18k gold cover so people can't see your face while you are using it ?
I like the glass protector. Can it protect the Vision Pro glass from the sunlight?
Yeah, once I get the AVP next Friday I'll see how everything fits together to see if it could fit in either case. Ideally, I'd be able to get something to protect the main headset and have it still fit in a backpack. The Apple and Spigen cases look too big for that and even though I'm shelling out a fair amount of money for the AVP, I don't really want to pay $200 for a case.
I can’t afford accessories after this purchase lol. I’ll use what it comes with until there are workout straps ya can sweat on
You can use USB-C battery pack that can deliver at least 20W and use it to keep the Apple battery topped off. This will extend your power on time without having to disconnect the battery to swap it out.
I will be returning mine as a 3rd party battery pack is much less than $200.
You can get you one of these for only 10 cents, which seems like highway robbery TBH.😉

I am really curious what a case designed for the dual strap looks like - I think that one would fold up much smaller than the other one and the case could be much smaller!
This design does look really nice, with lots of small compartments for organizing charging cables.

About the Apple case. While I can see the Apple branded case as a good companion to the AVP ecosystem, I am also beginning to consider it a billboard that reads to anyone seeing it in public… “Steal me! I’m valuable!” I think I’m going to cancel my order of the case and get another battery too.
So are there any travel cases designed with keyboards in mind? Like the Apple case, but with an outside pocket to slide in an Apple Magic Keyboard? For me I think eye tracking will be fine for basically all "cursor" input, but a keyboard is essential...and all these $200 cases just assume you'll put them into an even bigger bag. Maybe Waterfield will have something.
