When not in use - where do you put the thing? I’ve been using the box, like many, but it’s kind of a pain (large, and reusing the cardboard insert is frustrating).. anyone using something else? Keeping it in a travel case? Just resting it on a table?

Thanks!

I’ve been reading it on a table mostly with the front cover on to keep it from scratching. Bought a generic case for it on Amazon that fits it well.

Same. I leave it out for easy access with the front cover on. When I take it somewhere else, I use a small box I had left over from a hand-held coffee grinder I purchased a while back. It’s the perfect size actually lol.

Right on my desk, front cover on, in standby ready to use. I take it to bed too and it sits on the nightstand. No need to overthink it at home really, just be sure the cable isn’t somewhere it could get yanked and make sure the headset is never in a place where the passing sun could reach the eyepieces at any point during the day.

I recommend getting one of these or similar to protect the lenses from sunlight as only a brief exposure to direct sun that hits the eyepieces can permanently damage the displays: https://www.amazon.com/KIWI-design-...5&psc=1&mcid=681a6d3db09f3a3297ca6c25a81879d8

I borrowed this exact one from my Quest 3 and it fits just fine in my AVP.

Pick your poison:

  • One of the many cases mentioned here.
  • The plastic tray from the box makes for a decent desk holder.
  • That 3d-printed stand from Etsy.

I use mine on my recliner chair 90% of the time so i stick it in the chairs arm storage which it just fits in. I can run a wire through there too so it stays charged

I just put the cover on and place it in the bottom part of the box that cradles it and leave it on the coffee table.

Once my Spigen case comes in, I will likely store it in there.
