    Does this work if you have the deckmate.me attachment for the kickstand, or do I need to take that off?

    I have this aswell. Recommended.

  I use the modcase. It's fine. The front reliably stays on, which is something some of those other designs seemed sketchy on.

  It does block the top vent. It's fine for charging, but on rare occasion I (or the software) screw up and leave it running plugged in while the cover is on, and the overheating forces me to hard reset (I haven't hit the threshold to have it shut itself off, but the power management stays borked). For the price I'm happy with it, but I wish it vented properly with the front on.

    Echoing the Jsaux mod case. I use it in my everyday carry bag and it can slip into the front small pouch with little issue. It does the few things I need it to do, which is; Protects the screen Protects the joysticks Protects the triggers (although there is a small gap, but it is fine imo)

    I took out the kickstand and use the deck mates kickstand with the 3M sticky slot on the back. The issue I have with the kickstand it comes with (the Jsaux mod case kickstand) is two-fold;

    1. limited angle, which is kind of a pain if I’m using an airplane tray and I’m flying coach
    2. loose hinge- it tends to flop around after some use, and the screws have to be pushed back in

      Oh, nice I have the deckmate kickstand and I was wondering which case I could get that would work with it.

  I have the grey Tomtoc case and I like it.

  Has anyone found one that allows the Deck to sit on the official dock? We bought the one from Spigen and after getting the dock we realized they aren’t compatible.

  Buy the JSAUX silicone case

  Do you really need a protective case? I don’t ever use my Steam Deck outside. The most dangerous place I used it was with hard flooring at an airport. If I were to drop it, it’d get scuffed at most and already has a screen protector.

    I would like to be able to carry my Deck in a backpack full of other things, including on long journeys, hikes, flights and such, without it taking up too much space (as in the factory case) or the risk of it being scratched/damaged by impact from other objects. It may well be robust enough to withstand being jarred against other objects, though it’s better to be safe than sorry.

  I got this and it’s pretty much perfect. Tight fit and a decent kickstand for the price of three beers.

    Can rely on this. It’s perfect but keep in mind you can’t use the dock with the case…

    • tasankovasara@sopuli.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Didn’t think of that! Perfection proved thus to be an overstatement, although my docking arrangement (a tablet stand and a third-party usb-c dock) serves fine even when fully cased.

  Killswitch looks bulkier than the Modcase imo so I bought the latter. Will see how it looks when it gets here in a couple days.
