I’ve never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it.
I was thinking about the Spigen “Thin Fit Pro”, which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It seems to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts.
What’s your take on this?
I have the Jsaux mod case. The grippy texture is great and feels so much better to hold than the plastic of the Deck, especially for long or more intense sessions where my hands might get a little sweaty. It fits perfectly, no gaps or wiggle.
The attachment features on the case are honestly kind of a gimmick (I mainly got it because I wanted the USB Hub) and the kickstand is a bit too heavy (but very sturdy) IMO. I do like the snap-on protective cover though, it’s made well.
The Killswitch is more expensive but would probably provide all the same benefits.
