The TrimUI Brick became a breakout budget handheld for its sharp vertical screen and tiny size. It is built to live in a pocket, which means a little protection goes a long way. The accessories that matter here are the cheap, practical ones. There is no need to overspend on a device this small. For the full review, read our TrimUI Brick review.
MicroSD Card: The One That Matters Most
Like most budget handhelds, the Brick is only as reliable as its microSD card. A bundled or no name card is the top cause of corrupted saves. Replace it with a name brand card from Samsung or SanDisk. A 128GB or 256GB Samsung EVO Select is plenty for a library that tops out around PS1, and it loads fast. See our best microSD cards guide.
Best Case for the TrimUI Brick
The Brick is one of the smallest handhelds worth owning, and its size is both the appeal and the risk. It is small enough to drop into a pocket next to your keys, which is exactly how the sharp little screen gets scratched. A case for the Brick does not need to be big or expensive, it just needs to keep the screen away from metal. The fit matters: a case meant for a 5 inch handheld swallows the Brick and lets it slide, so match the case to its tiny footprint. A device-cut zip case with a rigid lid is the best protection in the least bulk. Given how small the Brick is, a slim padded pouch is often enough as a carry aid, though it stops scratches rather than crushing.
Best Screen Protector for the TrimUI Brick
The sharp vertical screen is the Brick's best feature, and it rides in your pocket where it meets keys and coins, so a protector is cheap insurance. Size is everything here. The Brick is tiny, so a protector cut for a 3.5 inch or larger device will overhang badly; match it to the Brick. A tempered glass two pack is the pick, since the small screen makes alignment a little fiddly and a spare takes the pressure off the first attempt. Clean the screen, start the glass from one edge, and lift any dust with tape before the adhesive sets.
Charging on the Go
The Brick draws very little power, so a small 10,000mAh USB-C bank gives you a stack of full charges in a pocketable size. Add a short USB-C cable and you can play through a long trip. See our best power banks guide.
What You Do Not Need
- AR glasses or a portable monitor. The Brick does not output video over USB-C, so neither works.
- A cooling fan. This is a low power device that does not throttle.
- A grip. The Brick is too small for most clip on grips to help. Its size is the point.
