FULL STORY
======================================================================

If you own an Oculus Quest 2 VR headset then go and check your emails, as 
Meta might be trying to give you a free Elite Strap accessory for it. 

User u/claimingmarrow7 took to Reddit to show off an email they claim to have 
received from Meta. In it theyre told theyve been sent a unique code they can 
redeem to be sent a Quest 2 Elite Strap with no string attached  all they 
have to do is take advantage of the promotion before it expires on August 4, 
2023. 

Its not currently clear if this is an offer exclusive to select users like 
claimingmarrow7, or if all Quest 2 owners will be sent similar emails in the 
near future. Weve reached out to Meta for clarification, but while we wait 
for a response wed recommend looking in the inbox for your Quest accounts 
registered email (and the spam folder too) to see if youve also got a code 
for a free VR accessory. (Image credit: Meta) What is the Elite Strap? 

The Elite Strap is an optional Quest 2 upgrade that replaces the original 
elastic strap with a plastic one that tightens using a fit wheel. This 
mechanism gives the headset a much more secure fit on your head and is 
generally more comfortable than the regular strap. 

It doesnt come cheap, however, with the strap usually costing $59.99 / 59.99 
/ AU$89.99  so getting one for free is a solid deal. 

Just note that this offer appears to be for the regular Elite Strap rather 
than the version with a battery. The upgraded (but more expensive) Elite 
Strap with battery model not only provides an extra hour or two of battery 
life  effectively doubling your Quest 2s usage time  but further improves the 
Quest 2s comfort as the battery serves a counterweight to the usually 
front-heavy design of the headset. 

If you arent lucky enough to get a code for a free Elite Strap from Meta and 
are looking to buy your own, the Elite Strap with battery option is the one 
wed recommend  its definitely worth the higher cost for people who use their 
headset a lot.
