Comment on Planning on buying a SteamDeck. What should I know before purchasing?
paultimate14@lemmy.world 1 day agoI think not having room for the charger is a valid complaint. Not enough for me to buy a 3rd party case, but I can see why people would want one.
I tend to put mine in its case, but put that case in a backpack with all of its accessories. Which kinda sucks, but also even if I didn’t have the deck I typically have enough other electronics to justify a dedicated backpack anyways- battery banks, chargers, my wife’s laptop and kindle, maybe our portable projector to throw things up on random spots. While I wish the Deck case had more space, unless it was badkpack-sized I would probably end up throwing it in a backpack anyways.

It fits great in the elastic-covered spot on the back, especially if you use something like this.

I hear you, but I’m not willing to trust the charger in there even with a 3D printed insert. Give me a proper pocket with a snap, Velcro, zipper, clip, etc.

That’s fair, but I can tell you from experience there’s no way it’s going to fall out during the lifetime of that elastic. I say this because it’s mildly annoying to extract it (which, admittedly, isn’t an issue with a dedicated pocket).

Seconded, never had any issue with the elastic strap holding in the power supply.
