In January of 2026, Oura announced an official Oura Ring 4 Charger Case. If you’ve looked at the official Oura Ring 4 Charging Case, you already know the issue: it’s expensive. At US$99, it’s a premium accessory and there has to be a cheaper alternative. While, like everything from Oura, it’s well‑designed, but it only works with the Oura Ring 4 and requires you to buy yet another dedicated charger with no path to upgrade.
After testing multiple Oura charging options, there is a cheaper and more flexible alternative that makes far more sense for most people.
The Vokelater Portable Charging Case
The Vokelater charging case is the best alternative to the official Oura Ring 4 charging case for one simple reason: it uses the charger you already own.
Instead of forcing you to commit to only one use case, the case includes a flip‑up USB‑C connector inside. You plug in your existing Oura charger, whether it’s for the Oura Ring 3 or Oura Ring 4, and the case becomes a portable charging dock with its own internal battery.
This solves several problems at once.
It works with Oura Ring 3 and Oura Ring 4
Because the Vokelater case relies on your existing charger, it’s compatible with any ring size and both generations. If you’re planning on upgrading from Oura 3 to Oura 4 (our Oura 5 at some point), or if you have multiple rings in the household, this is a major advantage.
It saves you real money
The official Oura Ring 4 charging case costs US$99. The Vokelater case typically sells for $30. You’re essentially paying for a portable battery and protective shell, not a whole new one size only ring charger system. Saving you $60!
It’s better for travel
The clamshell design protects your charger and ring, and the internal battery (around 1000mAh) gives you multiple recharges before the case itself needs power. It’s compact, lightweight, and charges via USB‑C.
A note on fit
The Vokelater case works best with the official Oura charger. Vokelater also have an aftermarket charger which also fits, but depending on your ring size, the lid may not fully close. It still works, but it’s worth knowing.
Why This Is the Smarter Buy
The official Oura case is polished, but it’s also expensive and limited to one ring generation. The Vokelater case:
- costs less at $30 ($60 less that the official Oura 4 Charger)
- works with Oura 3 and Oura 4 (so you can upgrade over time)
- protects your charger while traveling
- provides multiple recharges on the go
Unless you specifically want the official Oura Ring 4 Charging case, the Vokelater Oura Ring Charging case is the more practical and budget‑friendly choice.
