The '''Handy Gear''' was a accessory for the [[Sega Game Gear]] released by STD. It has many functions; it acts as a protective case, has a screen magnifier, has a carrying strap, and has a storage space which holds one cart. It claims to be water resistant, which is useful in case something should get spilled on it. The {{start}} button also has a new  button placed over it which is probably easier to press and useful in games that use it frequently such as ''[[NBA Jam]]'' and ''[[NBA Jam Tournament Edition]]''.
