The Oculus Quest 2 may be a mobile headset, but it's actually dangerous to take it on the go without protection. Carry it in a backpack, and stray junk like a pencil could scratch the unprotected lenses and ruin them.
Even if you only keep it at home, sunlight permanently damages the lenses, so you'll need to keep it enclosed when not in use. Oculus sells a carrying case with plenty of capacity for your Elite Strap and accessories, but you can also get something more travel-sized or hard-shelled. We've chosen the best official and third-party Oculus Quest 2 cases to consider.

It's no coincidence that the official case leads the pack. While most cases are designed for the original Quest, this one was made with the slightly smaller Quest 2 in mind. Thanks to its compact, stylish design, the official Quest 2 Carrying Case is ideal.
It'll easily keep all of the best Quest 2 accessories secure in most situations, and there's room for everything here. Tuck away your headset, controllers, charging cable, and power adapter for safekeeping. The custom inlay is designed to hold everything in place. Plus, there's even space for the Elite Strap, with or without the battery.
However, keep in mind that the Oculus 2 Carrying Case isn't hard-shelled or terribly well-padded, so taking it on the road might require some extra care. But it does have a soft, easy-carry handle; just take care when handling.
The compact hard-shell of the Syntech carrying case is complemented by attractive looks and practicality. This case has just enough space to fit everything the Quest needs at a lower price than other options on this list. And this option is light, as it's constructed of a featherweight EVA material. Lightweight doesn't mean this case can't handle rough travel though; it's durable and splash-resistant, so it's ready to go when you are.
While it might not have a lot of space to put other accessories or cables, the tight space will keep your Quest 2, controllers, and accessories from moving around too much in transit. That, combined with its hard shell, makes it ideal for rough travel.
The CASEMATIX Hard Case is built like a tank, unlike most other Quest 2 carrying cases. Lined with a thick protective foam layer, this carrying case is ideal for anyone who travels a lot. That said, this top-of-the-line protection comes at a cost; the CASEMATIX is ugly and clunky.
It does, however, provide a unique level of customization that, while incredibly useful, also requires a bit of DIY craftsmanship on the part of the owner. Instead of shipping with the foam padding cut out for the Quest 2 and its accessories, you need to cut out the shapes in the layer of foam yourself. The case exterior itself measures 16-by-6 inches, while the interior is 14-by-10.75-by-4 inches. If you want top-of-the-line protection and customizable interior, this is the pick for you.
What good is a carrying case if the case doesn't make it easier to transport your headset? The ANNAPRO Hard Chest Shoulder Backpack solves the portability issue in style. Its subtle, hard-shelled exterior is stylish and unassuming and includes a shoulder strap to allow owners to wear it like a backpack. Plus, the material is durable and easy to clean.
To sweeten the deal, the ANNAPRO case also ships with a controller storage bag. Internally, the case provides plenty of room, with a secure fit for the headset and for various cables. The strap is fully adjustable, and the back of the case is well padded, making it comfortable to transport your Quest 2.
If you want the look of a bag, protection of a case, and plenty of room, this ANNAPRO model might be worth the extra cash.
Which one is right for you?
A carrying case is one of many necessary accessories for any Quest owner. It'll protect your console, while also keeping room for accessories like Quest 2 Link cables or Quest 2 battery packs when taking it on the go.
Ultimately, the official Quest 2 Carrying Case is hard not to vouch for. It makes no concessions and features nearly everything a carrying case for the Quest would need: From the perfect fit inside, to the extra space for all the accessories, including the Elite Strap. Its only real issues are its price and durability, but the use case for something more heavy-duty is so rare that it probably won't be a problem for most people.
