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 ended up buying the Killswitch case from Dbrand. It’s sturdy, the lip of the case rises up to cover the screen edges and it has a hard face cover while traveling. I normally leave it with its kickstand on various locations to charge for when I need it. It was an added weight but I don’t notice it anymore, and I enjoy the textured feel of the case.
