I didn’t get anything from Valve.

Once I received the Frame, the battery life was indeed not enough for me, so I went out an got a 20000mAh 65W power bank, and a one meter cable with a 90 degree connector. The angled connector is perfect, I already had some suitable cables, but I feel the pull of the angled one not at all. I feel like with a coiled one you wouldn’t able to avoid it tugging on the HMD ever so slightly?

I also initially considered 10000mAh to make it smaller and lighter in my pocket, enough to pretend it isn’t there, but opted for double that for the additional playtime. That was again the right call, I have been draining the 20000mAh fully almost every session, and the larger bank hasn’t been as heavy as I feared.

For a case, I found one made for the Pico 4. The Frame is just a tad smaller, and the controllers a tad bigger, but the general shapes are a close match. I used some big scissors to mutilate the soft plastic where the controller joysticks interfere with the fit, and as a result the Frame controllers fit ok. There is just enough space to squeeze in the power bank at the side.

I had planned on using something over bluetooth for audio, but I’m honestly pretty happy with the internal speakers, actually. And trying my XM5s, they work, but the bluetooth latency for VR is noticeable.
