Oculus sells a ton of accessories for its newest VR headset, but your first purchase should be one of the best Oculus Quest 2 cases, without question. A case will shield your lenses from sunlight damage and make sure all your VR accessories are kept in one place. Original Quest owners can try using their old cases, but the Quest 2 is about an inch smaller, so there may be a bit too much wiggle room if you use it as a travel case. We've rounded up the Quest 2 storage and travel cases that we trust to keep your headsets properly protected from falls, lens scratches, or controller stick drift.

Unlike many of the Quest 2 cases made by third parties that were originally Quest 1 cases, the official Quest 2 Carrying Case is specifically tailored to its new dimensions. It can squeeze inside the headset, controllers, charging cable, power adapter, and Elite Strap with Battery, keeping them static so nothing moves around. The case has an aesthetically attractive look, but isn't necessarily built for hard falls and rugged travel.

This case is built for people that plan on carrying their Quest 2 around regularly. Its large carrying handle and shoulder strap are comfortable to use, and the pack has more space for accessories than other cases, thanks to its zippered pockets. The outside handle falls well, while the inside has custom-cut foam. Unlike most unofficial Quest 2 cases, it will fit with the Elite Strap attached - though, without one, it may be a bit roomy for the Quest 2 since it was designed for the original Quest.

Built to withstand anythingCASEMATIX Hard Case Compatible with Oculus Quest 2

On the outside, this intimidating-looking case will truly withstand any physical or environmental damage, though you'll look like you're carrying nuclear launch codes. On the inside, you're required to physically cut the foam to fit your Quest 2, controllers, Elite Strap, and other accessories. This ensures it will be customized to cushion all the accessories you own along with your headset, but it's more work to get right. Despite that, it's still the best Quest 2 travel case we've seen.

Originally designed for the first Oculus Quest, this case received mixed reviews saying it was slightly too tight to fit the Quest well. Luckily, that works in its favor for Quest 2 owners, with many people report the newer headset fitting perfectly. The hard case is built to withstand falls and comes with a securing strap and accessories bag to keep your small peripherals from bouncing around. Unfortunately, it won't fit the Elite Strap.

If you plan on taking your Quest 2 on the road, this case should handle all the bumps and bruises it'll encounter, thanks to its hard exterior. On the inside, you can use the included velcro straps and mesh bag to secure your cords and accessories, plus the lens cover to keep the headset scratch-free. Our only warning is that this case also doesn't work with the Elite Strap attached.

The best Oculus Quest 2 cases for storage or travel

Before you decide which Oculus Quest 2 case to buy, you need to think about what you'll need to fit inside and whether you'll frequently take it on trips or mostly leave it sitting in a corner. Most Quest 2 owners will invest in at least some of the best accessories for the Oculus Quest 2, so you'll want a case that leaves plenty of room for them. In particular, anyone who owns or plans to buy the Elite Strap (with or without the battery pack) needs to be careful because many Quest 2 cases specifically fit the standard Quest 2 configuration and can't squeeze in the headset with the Elite Strap attached.

The official Oculus Quest 2 Carrying Case will fit the Elite Strap and most of the core tech without issue. There's a small section on top that could fit some batteries or small accessories, though you won't find a dedicated pouch or pocket for them. The case is somewhat soft and bendable - not as hard and protective as some other cases.

If you're looking to save some money on a case with a bit more durability for the road, the Esimen Hard Carrying Case won't cost you too much, has elastic bands to hold your devices in place plus a lens protector, and can withstand falls and crushing pressure. Or, if you're more concerned about fitting all of your myriad accessories into the case without it getting disorganized, the Typecase All-in-One case has plenty of zippered pouches to keep everything separated and protected.

Once your Quest 2 is fully secured from any damage, you can safely start buying the best Oculus Quest 2 games, knowing your headset will last long enough to play them!
