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 like the Jsaux Modcase for the extra grippiness, the protection is more of a bonus. You’re probably going to see damage to sticks and screen from a drop before the areas that one of these cases would cover.
