Lenovo take note, this custom Legion Go case turns the handheld into a touchscreen laptop
Table of Contents
If you occasionally use your Lenovo Legion Go for productivity workloads, this Legion Go case that transforms your handheld into a laptop might be exactly what you need.
The Lenovo Legion Go boasts impressive specifications and hardware, including an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB LPDDR5X RAM, a 2560 x 1600 display, and Windows 11. With such capabilities, it makes sense to use this portable device for more than just entertainment. However, tablets often lack the accessibility and ease of use that a full-fledged laptop provides. Fortunately, there’s a great solution if you want to turn your Lenovo Legion Go handheld into a touchscreen laptop.
Available on Etsy (though currently sold out at the time of writing), this keyboard case, created by ElementalElegance3D, lets you convert your Lenovo Legion Go into a laptop by attaching a fully functional keyboard to the tablet screen. Priced at $49.99, the 3D-printed case features a kickstand at the back and folds in half when not in use, making it convenient to carry. According to user reviews, the overall quality of the product is solid, especially considering it's not an official Lenovo accessory.
Is the Lenovo Legion Go case worth it for $49?
The product lives up to its name by transforming your handheld into a touchscreen laptop. The case is specifically designed for the Lenovo Legion Go and is made from 3D-printed material. Although the maker hasn't specified the material used, they have clarified that it's not PLA, which is often prone to heat damage.
The case includes a Bluetooth keyboard that can be charged via a USB-C charging cable, provided with the package. While the keyboard lacks a trackpad, the seller highly recommends using a stylus or a mouse. Due to the compact nature of the product, accessing the bottom 5mm of the touchscreen with your finger may be challenging, so keep that in mind. The keyboard's small size might also take some getting used to, but regular use makes it easier over time.
One Reddit user did note some concerns, such as the lack of rubber trimmings around the edges where the keyboard closes, which could help with stability, and the absence of little feet to stabilize the bottom. Additionally, the lid doesn't lock or click shut like a traditional laptop and tends to flap around, which can be slightly inconvenient.
Lenovo should make an official laptop-style case
Since this is a product we think many Legion Go users would love to try out, Lenovo could potentially enter this market themselves and offer a more polished, premium case at a competitive price.
Considering this item is currently sold out, we’d like to see some alternatives – especially if it comes from an official source. Towards the end of last year, Lenovo unveiled several official accessories such as a dock and two monitors, and this laptop-style case could be a worthwhile idea. Most recently, Lenovo launched the Legion Go S – though we’re yet to see any additional official accessories.
